Putin’s aims are probably twofold — to make Ukraine weak and more dependent on Russia but also to divide the West and render NATO less effective. As far as the latter is concerned, the opposite is happening. NATO, long searching for a post-Cold War purpose, has been energized by the Russian threat. Denmark is dispatching a frigate to the Baltic Sea. The Netherlands is moving fighter jets to Bulgaria. France has offered to put troops in Romania under NATO command. Spain has also offered to move warships east. The United States has put 8,500 troops on heightened alert in case they need to be deployed to Eastern Europe. Some in Finland and Sweden are even reconsidering their long-established neutrality.
Matthews points out that Putin would not benefit from a war, especially if the sanctions being discussed are put into place against Russia. While Putin has built formidable foreign reserves, constraining Russian gas and oil exports would devastate the Russian economy. Most young adult Russians — those who would be called upon to fight — are not gung-ho for war against Ukraine, which they regard positively. Putin’s approval ratings have fallen considerably.
This doesn’t mean that war is impossible, even unlikely. Wars can happen because of misperceptions, misunderstandings — and even because, backed into a corner, countries can’t find a path to de-escalate. The Russian foreign minister has said that the West’s recent written responses to Russian demands do not address the “main issue,” by which he means Ukrainian membership in NATO. The truth is that Ukraine is unlikely to become a member of NATO anytime soon. NATO runs by consensus, and there is little agreement on the issue. Germany and Hungary have deep reservations about its accession.
And yet, the United States cannot — and should not — forswear the possibility that Ukraine could join NATO at some point in the future. Between those two realities lies a narrow corridor, a space for creative diplomacy to avert a war that could consume the energies of both sides for years.
Mike Pence saw what was happening before the attempted coup. Pence told the counters to "announce the votes cast by the electors for each state, beginning with Alabama, which the parliamentarian has advised me is the only certificate of vote from that state and purports to be a return from that state that has annexed to it a certificate from an authority of that state purporting to appoint or ascertain electors."
Pence "didn't just make that up on the fly" but rather "crafted it in advance to specifically reject any fake set of electors that Trump's agents in Congress would try to push."
The public hearings will probably change the outcome of the election.

Oops: White House issues a ‘corrected’ chart showing economic growth during Biden’s first year

The only modern President who did not start a new war and who attempted to withdraw from optional conflicts is Donald J. Trump. Agents of the military-industrial complex tried desperately to initiate regime change in Iran and for fresh escalations in Syria, but they failed. Top US officials alleged lied to President Trump about US troop numbers in Syria.
The media is also a proponent of the war-mongering faction. The only time President Trump’s most trenchant of critics had lavished blandishments on him was when he approved airstrikes on chemical weapons facilities in Syria
For these ravenous warmongers, senile doddering perpetually listless and mercurial Joe Biden was their blank check upon which they can write whatever figure they pleased.
We are now seeing possible proof that Biden (or his handlers) may be pushing for an unnecessary conflict.
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine and Joe Biden had a call yesterday evening to discuss the tense situation over the Russia-Ukraine border.
Alky, If you're going to keep stealing from and plagiarizing 'American Thinker,' stop leaving out the best parts -
Ukrainian officials were understandably rather irked that Biden may have given Putin a “green light” to invade.
Overall, the Ukrainian government is rightly concerned that reckless statements about imminent war emanated from the White House will hurt their economy and hamper public morale that has been hurt due to Covid-19.
To summarize, there are a few obvious open questions pertaining to the call:
Did Biden claim the Russian invasion was imminent as he did last week?
Did Zelensky urge him to tone down his aggressive rhetoric?
Can Biden be trusted following his son's murky dealings in Ukraine while Biden was VP?
Some of these questions can be answered by merely releasing the transcripts of the call.
Bien must remember that in a democracy, an elected official doesn’t own power, the people lend their power to him so he can represent them. The people hence have a right to know about the utterances of their representative
Hopefully, Biden will follow his own advice that he offered to President Trump and insist on total transparency by releasing the transcripts.
If it is proven that Biden did distort reality to cause a war, there must be consequences. There must at least be an investigation, perhaps a special counsel should be appointed. If not now, hopefully when the GOP takes back the House and the Senate.
Irrespective of his motives, Biden's caprice is making the US look like an incompetent and untrustworthy ally. This is only going to further ruin America’s already dubious reputation following Biden’s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/01/the_mystery_of_the_biden__zelensky_call.html
Far from ensuring the safety of legislators and their staffs, the underlying political motive is obvious to anyone who’s been paying attention the past several years: the Capitol Police, acting as the Stasi of the Democratic Party, will collect dirt on Republicans under the pretense of national security then leak gossipy details to an always-compliant news media.
Journalists will then source the leaks to anonymous “intelligence officials” to legitimize any incriminating disclosures, which in turn will prompt Democrats to call for immediate investigations and criminal referrals—see the January 6 select committee for how this successful formula works.
In fact, an official from the Obama Administration, the birthplace of Russiagate and other political espionage efforts, is heading up the new endeavor.
“Major changes in the Capitol Police intelligence unit started in fall of 2020, when the department brought on former Department of Homeland Security official Julie Farnam to help run its intelligence unit, which is housed in its Intelligence and Interagency Coordination Division,” Politico confirmed.
Who is Julie Farnam? In October 2014, Farnam was hired by the Obama Administration to serve as the acting chief of staff for the Homeland Security department’s field operations in Washington, D.C. The following year, Farnam was promoted to senior advisor on immigration issues. According to her LinkedIn profile, Farnam represented the Customs and Immigrations Services at “high-level meetings within the Agency, Department, other Federal agencies, and the White House.” She also “briefed senior officials on matters with national impact or controversy.”
One senior official with whom Farnam presumably worked at the White House would have been Lisa Monaco, Obama’s Homeland Security Advisor during his second term. Herself a key architect of Russiagate and an unabashed partisan, Monaco now serves as the deputy attorney general, responsible for the Justice Department’s sprawling and punitive investigation into January 6. Monaco’s prosecutors are handling at least 730 criminal cases related to the Capitol protest, with new arrests announced every week.
Just letting people know how much danger we are facing this year and forward with Trump is still in charge of the Republican party now.

We will have to explain the "Y" .
"Some eagle-eyed chart aficionados spotted some funny business going on with the Y-axis in the original." 😉
Putin's calculations toward the US and Ukraine are informed by our disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, and by the fact that Brandon shit himself in the presence of the Pope.
He is correct to assume that he has nothing to fear from us or our leaders, and that he and Xi are free to do as they wish.
Ukraine probably ends up much as Iran did in 1979 with the overthrow of the Shah. The Ukrainian president flees in exile, and Putin rolls in and takes control. In '79 it was Carter, today it is Brandon. Both resulting in an ally lost due to an imbecile in the white house.
My calculations of you rat is that your misguided zeal for everything against democracy is a sign of your troubled up bringing and not enough love from you mother.....No mother would be proud of her spawn that held such bigoted ideas and philosophy of the trump GOP and complete lack of care for all.........BWAAAAAAAA!! BTW,,,,,,the KU fraud is just that....LOLOLOLOLOL
This story is flying under the radar, but it could potentially prevent another Insurrection.
The Electoral College Act.
Now, however, "Schumer is quietly stoking bipartisan talks about updating the Electoral Count Act," Politico reports. He hasn't committed to either the version being worked on by Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) or a bipartisan overhaul under construction by a core group of nine Senate Republicans led by Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) and seven Democrats, including Manchin and Sinema. "But Schumer's disinterest in quashing the 16-member bipartisan crew is itself notable," Politico says.
Collins says she wants her group's bill to narrowly focus on raising the bar for members of Congress to object to a candidate's electors and clarifying that a vice president can't unilaterally flip states, plus maybe protecting election workers. Some of the Democrats would prefer adding other measures. Schumer is "waiting to see what deal, if anything, the group comes up with before gaming out whether legislation could win 60 votes on the Senate floor," Politico says.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has led the opposition to changing the filibuster and the Democrats' voting rights push, has said he's "happy to take a look at what they come up with," because the 1887 law "clearly is flawed."
Most Democrats agree with McConnell that the Electoral Count Act is flawed, even if "some have chafed at the idea of working on this issue as a replacement for the failed efforts on voting rights legislation," The New Republic reports. "But experts warn that the risk of future election subversion is dire enough to necessitate reform, even if other voting rights measures are unable to pass in Congress."
According to the law, the Electoral College is to meet in states across the country on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December to cast their votes.
If a state has finalized its results six days before then, according to the ECA, then those results qualify for "safe harbor" status — meaning Congress must treat them as the "conclusive" results, even if, for example, a state's legislature sends in a competing set of results.
But the law also allows members of Congress to easily object to results submitted by states and to prolong the counting process, even without legitimate concerns, and according to legal experts, it does not do a good enough job clarifying the vice president's role. Then-Vice President Mike Pence's role became the focus of efforts on Jan. 6, 2021, to overturn the last election. He was fully aware of how dictators have risen in history.
"In our view, modernizing the ECA may well be the single most important step Congress can take to prevent a crisis in the next contested presidential election," writes the National Task Force on Election Crises in its list of recommendations for updating the law.

Fresh update.
Joe Biden has warned Ukrainian President Vlodomyr Zelensky that an invasion by Russian forces in February is a "distinct possibility" despite ongoing diplomatic talks.
Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin continues to "study" the U.S. response to Russia's security demands - chiefly the expansion of NATO forces in Eastern Europe and the possibility of membership for Ukraine.

In 2003, then-President George W. Bush nominated Janice Rogers Brown, an associate justice on the California Supreme Court to serve as a Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. She was the first black woman nominated for the federal bench.
But Rogers Brown had a problem; she was a libertarian-conservative and refused to play ball with civil rights organizations.
One of her major decisions was a dissent in the case of forcing cigarette manufacturers to put warning labels on packs and cartons. A truly libertarian decision. She also attacked the New Deal, which gave us Social Security and other programs as “the triumph of our socialist revolution.” You can imagine the anger of her liberal colleagues over that one.
But Joe Biden, champion of civil rights and the president who has gloried in naming the first minorities to several positions in his administration, filibustered against her nomination and voted twice against her. When Biden had the chance to vote for a black woman, he declined.

A gauge the Federal Reserve prefers to measure inflation rose 4.9% from a year ago, the biggest gain going back to September 1983, the Commerce Department reported Friday.
The core personal consumption expenditures price index excluding food and energy was slightly more than the 4.8% Dow Jones estimate and ahead of the 4.7% pace in November. The monthly gain of 0.5% was in line with expectations.

Excluding food and energy means we prefer lying to ourselves.
Imbeciles and alcoholics approve of this metric. The rest of us reality-based folks know better.
Don't leave out the BEST parts alky -
Along with the inflation numbers, personal income rose 0.3% for the month, a touch lower than the 0.4% estimate. Consumer spending declined 0.6%, less than the 0.7% estimate.
A separate Labor Department data point that Fed officials also watch closely showed that total compensation costs for civilian workers increased 4% over the past 12 months. That is the fastest pace in history for the employment cost index, a data set that goes back to the beginning of 2002.
However, the seasonally adjusted quarterly increase of 1% was less than the 1.2% forecast.
The numbers come as rampant inflation is pushing the Fed into an aggressive pace of policy tightening.
Earlier this week, central bank officials indicated they are likely to begin raising interest rates as soon as March. Market pricing is pointing to five quarter-percentage-point increases this year for benchmark short-term borrowing rates, which have been anchored near zero since the beginning of the Covid pandemic in early 2020.
Headline inflation rose at a 5.8% pace as measured by the PCE index, tied for the fastest pace since June 1982.
Markets viewed the data releases as positive, with stock market futures well off their morning lows.
Fed officials, though, are worried about inflation pressures they had characterized through much of last year as “transitory.” While factors tied to the supply chain bottlenecks and powerful demand for goods over services have been a core cause of price increases, inflation has proven stronger and longer-lasting than policymakers had figured.
One area of specific concern is wages and the possibility of a spiral where increases in pay push up prices and in turns drive inflation expectations higher.
The 4% employment cost index annual increase, though missing estimates and below the 1.3% gain from the previous quarter, still represented a sharp gain from the 2.5% rise from a year ago. Compensation for private industry workers jumped 4.4%, which included a 5% increase in wages and salaries. Benefits costs rose 2.9%.

Wage increases are not keeping up with inflation, yet.
The easing of consumer spending comes despite strength in other areas of the economy. The unemployment rate was a low 3.9% in December and workers’ wages grew, while U.S. gross domestic product increased at a strong 6.9% annual rate in the final quarter of 2021, as consumers front-loaded holiday spending and businesses restocked shelves after months of pandemic-related disruptions. Friday’s report showed households’ incomes rose 0.3% in December, while inflation rose more quickly.
The Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, the core personal-consumption expenditures price index, rose at 4.9% in December 2021 over the prior year. A separate reading of inflation, the consumer-price index, hit 7% in December over the same month a year earlier. Wages rose fast as well, but not enough to keep up with the rise in inflation. Average hourly wages rose 4.7% in December from a year earlier, the Labor Department said.

Russia says it wants peace but has 'gun on the table' - U.S. envoy
January 28, 2022, 7:35 AM
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Russia says it does not want war but has placed a "gun on the table" in its negotiations with the United States by massing troops on Ukraine's borders, U.S. Ambassador to Moscow John Sullivan said on Friday.
In an online briefing from Moscow, Sullivan described the buildup of tens of thousands of Russian troops as "extraordinary" and said it could not be explained as an ordinary military exercise or exercises.
"It's the equivalent of if you and I were having a discussion or a negotiation. If I put a gun on the table and say that I come in peace, that's threatening," Sullivan told reporters. "And that's what we see now."
"We hope that the Russian government is true to its word, and does not plan to, and will not, further invade Ukraine. But the facts suggest that it has the present ability to do that," he said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told Russian radio stations earlier on Friday that Moscow was not seeking war.
Sullivan said Washington was now waiting for Russia's response to written documents by the United States and NATO sketching a diplomatic path out of the Ukraine crisis, and urged Russia to withdraw troops from near Ukraine's borders.
He said those documents contained ways to calm the crisis with proposals for greater transparency around military drills in Europe, as well as on Ukrainian arms sales.
"We've addressed the possibility of reciprocal transparency measures with the Russian government, including on offensive weapons systems in Ukraine, as well as measures to increase confidence regarding military exercises and manoeuvres in Europe," Sullivan said.
He said he hoped phone conversations or a physical meeting between American and Russian diplomats could then follow, reiterating that diplomacy was the only way forward.
Sullivan also said economic sanctions on Russia after an invasion of Ukraine would be just one part of the West's response.
Other measures would include export controls and greater defence of allies in Europe, and the United States would also prevent the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline from Russia to Germany from operating, he said.

Proof that Pope Donald Trump is the next anti-reformation leader.
This piece is only available to Political Wire members.
The Republican party has all kinds of problems right now but none is more striking than the plunging faith in science and medicine from its supporters.
A new NORC poll finds that 64% of Democrats have “a great deal” of confidence in the scientific community, compared with just 34% of Republicans, 34%.
That gap has widened dramatically since 2018 when 51% of Democrats and 42% of Republicans had high confidence.
In fact, it’s now the widest gap in nearly five decades of polling.
As University of Georgia professor Marshall Shepherd told the Associated Press: “We are living at a time when people would rather put urine or cleaning chemicals in their body than scientifically vetted vaccines. That is a clear convergence of fear, lack of critical thinking, confirmation bias and political tribalism.”
These findings are a clear indication that voters are taking their cues on science from their political leaders. Since the start of the pandemic, Democrats have widely embraced science — however imperfect it may seem at the moment — while many Republicans have rejected it.
But when you reject things that are true because your leaders tell you to — especially when doing so may actually harm you — that’s really no different than a cult.
Here’s what else we noticed this week:
A new profile of Dr. Anthony Fauci shows how he’s much more than a public health official who has helped save millions of lives. He’s also a pretty adept politician.A new survey shows that any debate over the future of remote working is over: 58% of “knowledge workers” are working in hybrid work arrangements, and two-thirds cite it as their preferred work option.
This is not a joke: North Korea was named chair of the UN disarmament conference.The consummate insider Larry Summer, now an outsider, was right all along.
This article about the Covid lockdown in Amsterdam made me laugh: You can apparently visit a brothel but not a bar.
Proof that Pope Donald Trump is the next anti-reformation leader.
