I like this paragraph...regardless of what anyone else thinks...
"The reader may ask: why does this blog appear to take Russia’s side in the current conflict against the US and our supposed allies? Answer: Why would you trust a government (ours) and its captive news media after years of their blatant lying and tyrannical over-reach? These parties appear to be at war against their own people, that is, against us — certainly more than Russia is. Especially in the historic moment when all our mendacious “narratives” are being exposed as false? Russian Collusion? Indictments underway and more to follow. Covid-19? A mega-crime of mass homicide spawned by a matrix of pharmaceutical racketeers, corrupt government officials, and accomplice news organizations. Stolen elections? Don’t, for Gawd’s sake, even try looking at the slime trail of evidence. I won’t bother listing the many transgressions of Wokery against our culture and history. And all of sudden, it appears a lot of American citizens have had enough of being fucked around. I’m with them."

And the moronic behavior of the Zhou Bia-Den cabal (AKA Klain's Kalorama Komintern) continues.
By all means, sanction a non-participating sovereign nation, India, who is an ally of the fUSA, for buying Russian military hardware in the past.
India has operated this way, doing what they want to do, for decades.

The Biden administration is weighing whether to impose sanctions against India over its stockpile of and reliance on Russian military equipment as part of the wide-ranging consequences the West is seeking to impose on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.
WTF? We're going to sanction a friendly nation for purchases that they've made for THEIR national security and defense because....ummm....we don't like the manufacturer of those previously purchased items? What?
Our national leadership is so utterly inept that it hurts to contemplate.

It's even more ridiculous - India purchased the SA-400 systems to directly support operations against communist China in contested areas.
India and Japan are our only allies in the Asian theater that are worth a rat's ass, other than maybe S. Korea and Taiwan...and the latter IS the target of China.
I don't count Australia or New Zealand as anything - after the way they went Full Nazi over COVID, they are completely untrustworthy.

Seems to me like a topic we could, at the least, table until later! I'd love to see the west throw carrots at these countries instead of sticks. There must be some backroom deals we can make with india to help them appreciate a new level of friendship.

When Turkey did something similar, NATO indicated that the Russian-designed system "would not integrate" with NATO.
With India, we do not have to directly coordinate aerial defenses.

Love Mark Kaye:
So Joe Biden's White House continues to ignore calls for American energy independence.
Instead of drilling and refining more oil here at home and cutting off imports from Russia, Joe Biden is open to purchasing oil from...get this one...Iran!
Great idea. Let's find a country that hates us even more than Russia. Let's find a world leader who wants to destroy Americans with nuclear weapons even more than Putin does, and give them our money instead!
I have to be honest, just when I thought Brandon's policies couldn't get any more dumb and dangerous, he proves me wrong.
Not only that, but even Nancy Pelosi has called for banning Russian Oil. In fact, a bipartisan group of Senators led by Joe Manchin is introducing legislation to ban the purchase of Russian oil by the US. And it has incredible support!
But Joe Biden won't do it. He refuses.
He will continue to publicly decry Putin's actions while filling his war chest with daily injections of American cash.
I mean...it's just so...it's just so...Ugh.
So I have an idea.
I know what's really behind Joe Biden's hesitancy to cut ties with Russia. He wants his cut!
The Big Guy needs his 10%! Duh! I mean, that's how Joe Biden has done business for years. You can't teach an old dog new tricks, and there is no dog in Washington older than Joe Biden.
If he isn't making millions off of a deal, it ain't a deal that's gonna get done.
The solution? Simple: We need an American oil company to step up and put Hunter Biden on their executive board. Pay him $75,000 a month and voila! We are in business!
ExxonMobil? Chevron? Come on guys, take one for the team!
If Hunter Biden doesn't get a job with an American energy company, then Joe Biden will never allow this country to be energy independent.
Sure, energy independence would be better for the American people. It would be better for American companies. It would be better for our allies. It would be better for Ukraine!
BUT...it wouldn't be better for the Bidens. And that's all that really matters, right?
God Bless America!

Similar logic to handing out crack pipes, Biden wants Americans addicted to Iranian oil to help justify letting Iran joining the nuclear club this summer.

Russia is struggling with just Ukraine. They are a bit player at best.
No matter how this turns out, it's going to ruin them at this point. They will be even less important.
The only thing that makes them special is their nukes, and for that they only have one play.
It's a hell of a play, but it doesn't give them much versatility.
My main concern here is the signal sent to China about the world's reaction. Everyone is worried a about pissing off Putin. I'm worried we aren't putting the fear of god into the Chinese.
If NATO had curb stomped the Russians in
Ukraine for this, it would have sent a strong message to China about Taiwain.
Sitting it out sends a strong message too.
