By the way, this is Rambo's bio:

Bachelor of Arts degree from Oberlin College in 1990.

After a stint covering the United States Department of Justice and federal regulatory agencies for Legal Times,[1] he worked as an editorial writer for The Washington Post, concentrating on legal affairs from 1997 to 2006.

Wittes has also written for The Atlantic and The New Republic, and has contributed regular columns to Slate, Wilson Quarterly, The Weekly Standard, Policy Review, and First Things.

In 2010 Wittes, along with Robert Chesney and Jack Goldsmith, co-found Lawfare, a blog dedicated to analyzing how the actions of the American government to protect the nation interacted with American law.[7]

In a post on Lawfare on January 28, 2017, reacting to Executive Order 13769, Wittes characterized the Trump administration as "malevolence tempered by incompetence."[8] This description received widespread attention and re-use,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] including its being featured in a New York Times op-ed by Paul Krugman.[16]

In 2020 Wittes launched the show In Lieu of Fun with journalist Kate Klonick. Conceived as an alternative to the presidential briefings on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the show aired live daily with Klonick and Wittes vowing to continue streaming until the pandemic was over. The show altered its format in 2021 to air only within the weekday and added Scott J. Shapiro and Genevieve DellaFerra as co-hosts. The show heavily featured both guests and audience participation and was often political in nature.[17]

Doubt.

 

[FreeMiner]

It might be regime change in USA and UK via Nuclear Incineration if morons don't calm down.

 

[FreeMiner]

If Ukraine is winning and kicking Russia's ass, why have they agreed to Negotiations with no attached Conditions?
And why have the Globalists Freaked Out, you would think they would like this to end.
What will the Globalists say when Hungary and Poland decide to take back those parts of the Ukraine that were traditionally theirs?

My biggest concerns with this entire conflict are 1) Putin doubles down and goes all in. May be forced to start using "bigger" weapons. Backing down at this point is not an option for him (I would guess, I have not spoken to him personally about this) and 2) China and Russia are working together and the ChiComs decide now is the time to invade and take over Taiwan. At that point, I think the US has no option to commit troops and 3) if China does something to devalue the American dollar, our economy collapses and all of the sudden America looks like the USSR post collapse.

Yah you get it.
The US Dollar coming out of this mess created by NEO CONS and Globalists will be finished. Biden is presiding over the end of Empire. It actually goes back to Zbigniew Brezinski. ........
Why would the United States run the risk of siding with anti-Semitic, neo-Nazis in Ukraine?

One of the keys may be found by looking back at Zbigniew Brzezinski’s 1997 book, The Grand Chessboard in which he wrote, “Ukraine, a new and important space on the Eurasian chessboard, is a geopolitical pivot because its very existence as an independent country helps to transform Russia. Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire.”

“However, if Moscow regains control over Ukraine, with its 52 million people and major resources as well as access to the Black Sea, Russia automatically again regains the wherewithal to become a powerful imperial state, spanning Europe and Asia.”

The former national security advisor to Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981 and top foreign policy advisor to Barack Obama, Brzezinski wrote that US policy should be “unapologetic” in perpetuating “America’s own dominant position for at least a generation and preferably longer still.”

Brzezinski delved into the importance of little known Ukraine by explaining in his 1997 book, “Geopolitical pivots are the states whose importance is derived not from their power and motivation but rather from their sensitive location… which in some cases gives them a special role in either defining access to important areas or in denying resources to a significant player.”

“Ukraine, Azerbaijan, South Korea, Turkey and Iran play the role of critically important geopolitical pivots,” he wrote in The Grand Chessboard, a book viewed by many as a blueprint for US world domination.

Brzezinski wrote that Eurasia is “the chessboard on which the struggle for global primacy continues to be played,” and that “it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus also of challenging America.”

Understanding Brzezinski’s long-term view of Ukraine makes it easier to comprehend why the US has given $5 billion to Ukraine since 1991, and why today it is hyper-concerned about having Ukraine remain in its sphere of influence.

It may also help explain why in the past year the US and many of its media outlets have feverishly demonized Vladimir Putin.

By prominently highlighting the mistreatment of activist group Pussy Riot, incessantly condemning Russia’s regressive position on gay rights, and excessively focusing on substandard accommodations at the Sochi Olympic Games, the Obama administration has cleverly distracted the public from delving into US support of the ultra-nationalist, neo-Nazi factions of the Ukrainian opposition, and has made it palatable for Americans to accept the US narrative on Ukraine.

Interestingly enough, it was Brzezinski who first compared Putin to Hitler in a March 3 Washington Post Editorial. Hillary Clinton followed-up the next day with her comments comparing the two, followed by John McCain and Marco Rubio who on March 5 agreed with Clinton’s comments comparing Putin and Hitler. Apparently Brzezinski still continues to influence US political speak.

In his book, Brzezinski contends that “America stands supreme in the four decisive domains of global power: militarily… economically… technologically… and culturally.”

While this may have been accurate in 1997, it can be argued that today, other than militarily, the US no longer reigns supreme in these domains.

So late last year when Ukraine’s now-ousted president Viktor Yanukovych surprisingly canceled plans for Ukrainian integration into the European Union in favor of stronger ties with Russia, the US may have viewed Ukraine as slipping even further out of its reach.

At that point, with the pieces already in place, the US moved to support the ousting of Yanukovych, as evidenced by the leaked phone conversation between US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt. When peaceful protests were not effective in unseating Yanukovych, the violence of the ultra-nationalist Svoboda party and Right Sector was embraced, if not supported by the west.

In today’s Ukraine, the US runs the risk of being affiliated with anti-Semitic neo-Nazis, a prospect it probably feels can be controlled via a friendly western media. But even if the risk is high, the US likely views it as necessary given the geopolitical importance of Ukraine, as Brzezinski mapped out in 1997.

From another board.

I just got an email from my medical school roommate’s sister. She is a Ukrainian currently living in Moscow. She sent me some videos from Moscow. I also have videos and pictures from friends in Odessa and Kharkiv to share. Does anyone know how I can post them on here for y’all to see?

ETA: Here some of them are. Yes, some have already been shared online but it is what I got and I am passing it on.
