Biden Tells US Troops in Poland They’re Going to Ukraine

Joe Biden spoke to troops with the 82nd Airborne in Poland Friday, telling them what to expect to see when they go to Ukraine. Biden also appears to have let slip that some troops have already been in Ukraine. The White House later clarified there has been no change in U.S. policy about not sending troops to Ukraine. Who to believe, Biden or his handlers?

“The Ukrainian people, Ukrainian people have a lot of backbone, they have a lot of guts. And I’m sure you’re observing it. And I don’t mean just the military which is, we’ve been training since back when they uh, Russia moved into the southeast, southeast um, Ukraine. But also the average citizen. Look at how they’re stepping up. Look at how they’re stepping up. And you’re gonna see when you’re there, and some of you have been there, you’re gonna see, you’re gonna see women, young people standing, standing in the middle, in front of damn tank just, just saying, “I’m not leaving, I’m holding my ground.” They’re incredible. But they take a lot of inspiration from us. And you know, woman who just died, the secretary of State used to have an expression, she said, “we are the essential nation.” It sounds like a bit of uh, hyperbole but the truth of the matter is you are the organizational principle around which the rest of the world, the free world is moving.”

U.S. Media Decries Brutal Russia Invasion of Ukraine—Yet an Intrepid Reporter Finds that the Russians Were Welcomed as Liberators in the Southern Ukrainian City of Henichesk along the Sea of Azov

Last week I was embedded with the Russian army and visited two towns in southeastern Ukraine. The first town was called Henichesk, a port city along the Sea of Azov in Kherson Oblast (province) of southern Ukraine, bordering on Crimea.

The Russian army, patrolling the city, went with us—the embedded journalists—for protection. But actually the protection was not really needed; the people in Henichesk, at least the majority with whom I spoke, were very happy that the Russian army was there.

The people that I spoke to all said the same thing: They felt protected from the criminal gangs, with their Nazi ideology, who raged the towns. They in turn hoped that Ukraine will prosper again.

Since the coup d’état of 2014, the economy of Ukraine has become very bad, according to many citizens in Henichesk.

I could see that people were standing in line to get money from ATM machines outside the banks, money which was barely there.

At the market, the food was scarce. The Russian army is providing humanitarian aid, which they do in every village and town, liberated from these criminal gangs. This is how many Ukrainians call them.

Joe Biden: Food Shortages ‘Going to Be Real’ Due to Russia War in Ukraine

President Joe Biden acknowledged during a press conference in Brussels on Thursday that food shortages will hit the world as a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

“It’s going to be real,” Biden said when asked about discussions with world leaders about food shortages.

He pointed out that Russia and Ukraine were considered the “breadbasket of Europe,” producing nearly a third of wheat exports around the world. Biden also previewed tough times ahead for food supplies across the globe.

“The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia; it’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries, as well, including European countries and our country, as well,” Biden said.

Biden said he and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised European leaders the United States and Canada will act to bolster their supplies of grain.

A Brief History of Pundits Encouraging Nuclear War

There is an active, influential, and well-paid minority of pundits and politicians in America who apparently believe that escalating conflict between nuclear powers—and even nuclear war itself—is not really that big a deal. 

These, of course, are the sorts of people who fancy themselves “the adults in the room,” while people who proceed with prudence, caution, and regard for the rule of law are to be regarded as traitors, cowards, or Russian agents. 

Consider, for example, Sean Hannity’s March 2 suggestion that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization—which really means the United States—should attack a Russian tank column with “some of [NATO’s] fighter jets, or maybe they can use some drone strikes and take out the whole damn convoy.” For Hannity, this would not count as escalation because NATO could elect to not tell the Russians who carried out the attack, and then Moscow “won’t know who to hit back.” 

Meanwhile, support for a “no-fly zone” has been one of the more dangerous avenues to escalation, since a no-fly zone would be a de facto declaration of war on Russia. Sen. Roger Wicker, for example, has said the US should “seriously consider” a no-fly zone. Florida congresswoman Maria Salazar supports a no-fly zone for the very profound reason that “freedom isn’t free.” (Fortunately, most members of Congress appear to recognize that a no-fly zone would mean World War III.) 

And then there are the pundits who have outright treated the gravity of nuclear war with a lot of hand-waving. NBC’s chief foreign correspondent, Richard Engel, in an apparent reference to nuclear war, implied the US should risk everything in order to destroy a Russian convoy.

As the Masses Get Bored with Ukraine, Rest Assured a New MSM Boogeyman is On Its Way

Most people reading this article right now likely understand the insultingly low attention span of the average American. What is today’s top story is often and quickly buried by tomorrow’s media outrage, fear mongering or sensationalist nonsense. We are bombarded 24 hours a day by our televisions, computers, and cell phones, with propaganda disguised as “news” — 99% of which is completely negative.

Thanks to the short memories of Americans this news cycle of propaganda can easily sway their attention from one story to the next, spotlighting negativity to keep citizens in a constant state of fear and obedience. We recently witnessed the nature of the easily swayed masses as the corporate press shifted from covid hysteria to Russia hysteria.

The masses temporarily switched out their masked profile pictures in exchange for Ukrainian flags almost overnight and just like that, the Branch Covidians had traded their “mask and jab” mantra for their new one, “I stand with Ukraine.”

Obviously there is nothing wrong with standing with the Ukraine as they have been invaded by a thug dictator. In fact, it is quite noble to stand against tyrants. But the selective outrage is embarrassing and the Ukraine emojis show how hollow the sentiment is considering the fact that most of these same folks have been largely silent as children have been slaughtered for 7 years in Yemen. 

Essentially, they are outraged because they have been told to be outraged. And, because of short attention spans, that outrage is about to shift once more and it will most likely land back on covid.

The media and the establishment are already setting the stage for covid hysteria once more. After Americans got a much-needed vacation from chief fearmonger himself, Dr. Anthony Fauci, suddenly reappeared in the media. This time, he is telling people to prepare for the possibility of more restrictions.

Last weekend, Fauci told ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos that Americans must be “flexible” and “prepared” to return to COVID-19 restrictions, if cases surge.
