Last week, a slew of experts from our government went out of their way to scare the US public saying that war between Ukraine (a country that few Americans can find on a map) and Russia was imminent. In fact, it would happen this week!
There was no solid evidence. All they had were unnamed and nebulous intelligence sources who said it was a certainty. That was according to National Security advisor (and former Clinton campaign advisor, Yale alum, Rhodes Scholar, and globalist) Jake Sullivan along with various State Department briefings.
The evidence, as they put it, indicated that an “imminent attack” was so certain that they told all Americans to leave Ukraine and they shuttered the embassy. That seems pretty serious.
Of course, no such attack would take place before the end of the Olympics, lest Russia anger what is becoming its most important customer for natural gas: China. China does not want its always-spectacular closing ceremonies for the 2022 Olympics to be overshadowed by an outbreak of war. Russia knows that if it messed with Ukraine, that would cause the EU to shutter the already-completed Nord Stream pipeline that awaits Russian gas to feed the Germans and others. If that gets cut off for good, then the gas ends up going to China. So why piss off China out of the blue and for no good reason? It makes no sense.
But will there ever be an attack? What’s the point? The news media harps on Ukraine joining NATO without ever mentioning that Ukraine has never asked to join NATO, or the fact that all thirty of the member nations must agree to accept it (a non-starter if you ask any real expert). It also takes about two years of rigmarole to finally get in.
What’s interesting is the way the media has begun to describe Putin as some sort of maniac who cannot think like a Westerner and will attack any minute. Recall, though, that all during the Bush, Obama, and Trump administrations it was always said that “Putin is playing chess, while we are playing checkers.” When did that bromide change? Is Biden playing chess now? Or what?
Someone is playing some game and it seems focused on the stock market and the price of oil. Market manipulation is the easiest way to make a fortune overnight. Putin will make out when he stops the war games and sends everyone back to the bases, then asks what all the fuss was about? After all, he said from the beginning that he had no intention of invading Ukraine.
Putin will then ask out loud exactly why the Nord Stream gas line is not open for business. It will be opened when the natural gas prices are at an all-time high. Good timing.
Meanwhile, as I sit here in California with gasoline prices at $5.30 a gallon and as the East Coast sees home heating oil and other related-commodities go through the roof, I connect the dots to the State department, the fear mongering by the media, and everyone in-between. I can only conclude one thing: we’ve been had.
And is it a coincidence that, during this ruckus, politicians were discussing stock market trading amongst members of Congress and their staffs? It seems that the market trading of government workers that goes on based on Congressional and other government actions (often known in advance) is sketchy at best, unethical for sure, and bordering on illegal. I do not see any of this Russia-Ukraine narrative as a coincidence.
Assuming the US interests do not actually start a war themselves through sheer stupidity, it will be fun to see how everyone backtracks from all this and then demands accolades because a war did not happen. These same folks will cash in their chips at the same time. Money is being made. Legal racketeering.
