It was estimated that there was as many as 100,000 people at the rally and at the smallest estimates they claim at least 60,000. According to the website create by the Justice department there have been 558 complains served so far.
So at worst, 99% of the rally goers were peaceful And more realistically 99.5% were peaceful
So for once, the concept of "mostly peaceful protest" would be true by any concept of statistical or common sense standards.
Given that in comparison to the garden variety Antifa-BLM protest turned riot, there was very little damage done. Most of the "reported damage" that is being claimed is including security measures they felt they needed to put in place (still just a few million even with that added). Whereas burned cars and buildings and other destruction was common place everywhere. The actual damages of Antifa/BLM riots went into the billions.
But don't look at numbers.
Numbers don't tell the story that lilly white liberals want to tell.
In 2020, despite unprecedented efforts to rig the outcome with delayed vaccine trials, suppression of the Hunter Biden story, rewritten election rules, and ballot harvesting, Joe Biden eked out a “win” by the smallest of margins. Now, one year into his administration, the old man is gruesomely unpopular. ’70s-style inflation is back, dozens of cities are setting murder records, the Afghan War ended in profound national humiliation, and Biden’s signature legislative initiative is Build Back Deader. Endless Covid panic, critical race theory in schools, and the urban crime explosion may finally break apart the Democratic coalition of the fringes that focuses all of America’s hatred onto a dwindling population of white middle class kulaks.
All the while, Donald Trump and the movement he created wait in the wings, chomping at the bit.
The American regime and fake news is terrified. They moved heaven and earth to derail Trump’s term in office and turn him out after four years. Now the ruling class faces the very real prospect that, if the 2024 election is remotely fair, he will be swept back into the White House, more powerful than ever before…

It fits the leftists’ scheme and their quest for a one-party totalitarian government to villainize every dissenting voice. Therefore, hundreds have been arrested and imprisoned, violating their constitutional rights. Biden’s inaugural address and first state of the union speech to Congress emphasized a contrived threat of “white supremacy,” and “domestic terrorism.” The leftists’ most trusted “ace in the hole” is the ad hominem attack, calling every opponent a “racist,” “fascist,” or “terrorist.” Their goal is the isolation and silencing of any dissenting voice(s).
The radical Left has no shame, and no concern for us or our futures. It’s about gaining power, then deceiving and demoralizing the electorate by engaging in a sustained psychological warfare campaign that supplants reasoned, rational thought with an unreasonable, irrational, and fearful psychosis.
In all human history, America is a shining gem and worth fighting for! Be unapologetically American and fight back through every respectful and peaceful means possible.

This is the kind of bullshit that you have chosen to believe!
Democrats keep claiming, without proof, that there has been no “significant” election fraud in 2020 and insisting that anyone who wants to claim there was must prove it or be silenced. Then, of course, they cut off all efforts to show that proof.
Most good faith attempts before judges to prove widespread fraud and cheating were either dismissed before the elections because it was “too early to sue” or, after the elections, because it was “too late to sue,” or the plaintiffs were dismissed for lack of standing. Outside of courts, conservatives were denied investigation and follow-ups (the FBI routinely denied any election-fraud investigations in 2020 and 2021), despite evidence from hundreds, if not thousands, of eyewitnesses, experts, and other inquisitive individuals and groups.
Why did Spotify choose Joe Rogan over Neil Young? Hint: It’s not a music company.

Neil Young, left, and Joe Rogan. (AP)
By Travis M. Andrews
Staff writer
Today at 8:00 a.m. EST
In one corner was Joe Rogan, the stand-up comedian and former “Fear Factor” host turned provocative podcaster.
In the other stood Neil Young, the multi-Grammy-winning rock legend with a lifelong passion for progressive causes.
The battle lasted two days, and Rogan won without making a peep.
Young started the scuffle when he posted a letter to his website Monday, addressed to his manager and an executive at his record label, demanding that his music catalogue be removed from Spotify in response to “fake information about vaccines.”
Specifically, Young cited Joe Rogan — who hosts “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast — and has suggested healthy, young people shouldn’t get vaccinated. After catching the coronavirus, Rogan also praised ivermectin, a medicine used to kill parasites in animals and humans that has no proven anti-viral benefits. “I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,” he wrote. “They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.”

Spotify pulls Neil Young’s music following Joe Rogan dispute
Spotify said on Jan. 26 that it agreed to remove Neil Young’s music after the singer accused Joe Rogan of spreading vaccine misinformation on the platform. (Reuters)
Two days later, without a word from Rogan, Spotify began the process of removing the famed rocker’s music, including his best-known hits such as “Heart of Gold,” “Harvest Moon” and “Rockin’ in the Free World.”

Spotify pulls Neil Young’s music after his ultimatum regarding Joe Rogan and ‘fake information about vaccines’
The speed of Spotify’s decision to sideline Young was jarring. So why did the company do it?
The answer is simple: This isn’t really a story about Rogan or Young. It’s a story about Spotify. And, despite public perception, Spotify isn’t a music company. It’s a tech company looking to maximize profits.
Bidenomics Build Back Broker policies have failed Americans now Biden exports it to Ukraine.
"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned international corporate media and world leaders like President Joe Biden for publicly predicting imminent war with Russia on Friday, stating that the panic caused by these statements cost Ukraine 12.5 billion hryvnia (about $437 million) in foreign investment."
Ch goes for nonsense like the Democrats have not proved their point (they have) and that Democrats "cut off all efforts to show that proof."
No, Democrats did not cut off a single attempt by either Republican or Democratic state election officials to investigate claims of election fraud, nor did they interfere with any of the serveral audits (and audits of audits!) carried out by Republican legislatures in a futile attempt to find anything remotely resembling significant fraud attempts.
The few tiny findings of fraud were infinitesimally small, and all of them taken together would not change the election's outcome.
Here is intelligent analysis of the Ukraine situation:
New discord between Ukraine and US may play right into Putin's hands -- or not
Analysis by Stephen Collinson Updated 12:50 PM ET, Fri January 28, 2022
(CNN)New signs of a fracture between the US and Ukraine over the imminence of a possible Russian invasion could seriously undermine President Joe Biden's muscular front against Vladimir Putin in their escalating standoff.
Frustration in Kyiv has mounted in recent days over escalating US rhetoric on the crisis, even as Moscow pours more troops into positions near the Ukrainian border. Washington and its allies have been waging an unusually open and vocal public relations warfare campaign -- an approach that primarily appears rooted in genuine fears of a major conflagration in Ukraine.
But there are clear signs that the strategy is also designed to pile pressure on Putin and to sharpen his strategic dilemma while compelling US allies in Europe into taking tougher stands. It may offer political cover to Biden by showing that he was not caught off guard if Russia does invade. The strategy also shields a President, who is wobbling at home, from attacks by Republican hawks keen to portray him as a weak appeaser ahead of midterm elections.
Yet it also threatens to cause a clash between the wider interests of Biden and those of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is trying to maintain calm at home even as he tries to enlist international arms and support for his country's defense.
A telephone call that 'did not go well' A call between Zelensky and Biden on Thursday should have been used to get on the same page. But the Ukrainians made it known ahead of time they would ask the US President to tone down his rhetoric. After the leaders spoke, a senior Ukrainian official told CNN's Matthew Chance in Kyiv that the call "did not go well" and that Zelensky had asked his US counterpart to "calm down the messaging" while arguing the Russian threat was still ambiguous.
According to the Ukrainian official, Biden warned an invasion was now virtually certain once the ground freezes in February, making it more passable for military vehicles.
National Security Council spokesperson Emily Horne disputed the account of the call and said "anonymous sources are 'leaking' falsehoods." She noted that Biden had warned that a February invasion was a possibility, a position she said he had adopted for months.
Zelensky's spokesman also disputed the Ukrainian official's characterization of the call. The Ukrainian President himself tweeted that he and Biden had a long call and "discussed recent diplomatic efforts on de-escalation and agreed on joint actions for the future."
Whatever the specifics of the private conversation, it is no secret that the US and Ukraine have been publicly at odds over the scale of the threat. The government in Kyiv was, for instance, taken by surprise earlier this week when the State Department said it would reduce staff levels at the US embassy, beginning with the departure of nonessential staff and families of diplomats.
Zelensky told journalists in Kyiv on Friday that the decision by the US and UK to withdraw some staff from their embassies in the capital was a "mistake."
"I think it was a mistake," the Ukrainian President said. "I say this openly."
Zelensky added that he thought American and British diplomats should stay in Kyiv, comparing them to ship captains, who in his view should be the last ones to leave.
"These are the captains of the diplomatic corps, they're the representatives of their respective countries," he explained. "And the captains are the last who should be leaving the ship.
He continued: "I don't think we have a Titanic here; Ukraine is moving forward."
This disconnect is notable between two friendly governments and reflects the extreme high stakes of the moment. It's also an odd public drama since a nation under apparently imminent threat of an invasion has a lower assessment of its own vulnerability than the United States, which has marshaled an international effort in its defense. Most damagingly, signs of a public disagreement between Biden and Zelensky would play directly into Russian hands. Moscow has already highlighted Ukraine's more temperate position to argue that Washington is exploiting the country to escalate against Russia.
In fact, the opposite is the case, with Putin holding Ukraine hostage in a bid to wring concessions from Biden that would change post-Cold War Europe.
Suggestions that the US and Ukraine are on a different page on the likelihood of a Russian attack might also cause political problems for Biden back home -- from critics on the radical wings of both political parties who have criticized his hawkish approach. After all, why should the United States be more worried about the security of a country in Russia's backyard than its own leader is?
Information warfare As Russia has built up its massive force around Ukraine, the United States has responded by deploying information warfare against a proven master of the genre -- Putin. Biden and his aides have not pleaded with the Russian leader not to invade. They have instead said repeatedly that they think he will do so and used the word "imminent."
The Pentagon said Thursday that Russia had poured more troops in to the region in the previous 24 hours. Last week, Britain released intelligence that it said showed Putin was trying to replace the Kyiv government with a puppet regime, bolstering US warnings that Ukraine is in immediate danger.
In another development on Thursday, the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank released open source satellite imagery and analysis on the Russian build-up.
This kind of information offensive from Washington is not the typical approach to a standoff with a foreign power. So it's raised questions about the administration's intentions.
The first explanation is that the US actually believes what it is saying -- that Russian tanks could soon start rolling in one of the most serious threats to an independent nation in greater Europe since World War II. While direct clashes between US and Russian forces are unlikely, there would be global implications from such a conflict. The principle would be established that powerful autocracies could swallow smaller democracies.
Reverberations between the US and Russia, possibly including cyber exchanges, could follow. All of that would explain why the administration is working so hard to put the world on notice.
Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire co-led a bipartisan delegation to Kyiv last week. She told CNN on Thursday: "I believe the threat is very real and could happen at any time based on the information that I've seen."
Pressure on Putin Washington may also be driven by a desire to deprive the Russian leader of any element of surprise for his mobilization. If Moscow does invade, or bites off another chunk of Ukrainian territory to add to its 2014 annexation of Crimea, the administration's urgency will have been vindicated. If Putin eventually backs down, Biden can argue that his strong stand worked, and the Russian leader may look diminished in the eyes of the world. But the strategy also risks putting the Russian leader into a corner and could force him to act to save his strongman image.
While praising Biden for refusing to accept Russian concessions, Thomas DiNanno, a former senior State Department arms control official in the Trump administration, said it might be wise to cool the language. "I would encourage the administration to return to the notion of strategic ambiguity, you know, don't tip your hand. And I think maybe they've done that a little bit too aggressively," DiNanno, now with the Hudson Institute, said on CNN "Newsroom" on Thursday.
One reason why Biden and Zelensky's messages are clashing is that they are addressing different audiences. Biden is speaking to Russia, Europe and the American people. Zelensky is trying to guard against panic at home. He responded to previous warnings by the US that an invasion could be imminent by telling his people to take a deep breath and to stay calm. Yet his aides may have seriously erred in their readout of the Biden call. The US President has stuck his neck out to support Ukraine. Embarrassing him is no kind of payback and Zelensky risks his own stature in Washington.
More importantly, Russia will take advantage of such splits.
"I am a little bit worried that disclosing a lot of this in the public is not going to help anything, it will help just Mr. Putin," John Tefft, a former US ambassador to Moscow, said on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" on Thursday.
Upping the heat on Europe Robust American rhetoric on the crisis also appears to have another purpose -- convincing America's less hawkish European allies that their own security is at risk.
To begin with, the US approach only exposed transatlantic differences. Biden was criticized last week by Republicans for suggesting that allies might not back a full implementation of sanctions in the event of a "minor incursion" by Russia into Ukraine. But he was telling the truth. In another sign of discord, French President Emmanuel Macron called for a European Union channel to Moscow. The head of Germany's Navy had to resign after remarks sympathetic to Putin.
But Biden's strong line now appears to be working. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told CNN's Christiane Amanpour Thursday that "nothing was off the table" including killing the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project designed to bring Russian gas to Europe and the removal of Russia from the SWIFT financial transfers system. And Germany's new foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, said Berlin was working on strong sanctions should Russia invade Ukraine -- including on Nord Stream, a shift in a previous German position. Biden announced on Thursday that new German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will visit him at the White House next month in a further sign of a converging position.
Still, the US diplomatic effort also reflects Putin's underlying advantage. He knows his own mind and few others do. The question will soon start to be asked how long the United States can continue to warn that an invasion that doesn't come is "imminent." Prolonging the alert might eventually open up new divides between the US and Ukraine and Washington and its European allies. And Putin may spot an opening. _______ CNN's Jeremy Herb, Matthew Chance, Jim Sciutto and Vasco Cotovio contributed reporting to this story
"U.S. C-17s did fly humanitarian supplies to Tbilisi, but President Bush ruled out military action. His administration imposed modest penalties on Russia, ratcheting down bilateral relations, freezing a U.S.-Russia civil nuclear cooperation agreement and ending support for Moscow’s bid to join the World Trade Organization. U.S. officials found that they had little leverage to affect Moscow’s behavior."

Insurrection”
I detest any illegal activity that occurred on January 6, 2021, while acknowledging evidence that government operatives incited such activity. Regardless of cause, all but a relative few were peaceful. Nevertheless, that day will be used against America’s patriots in perpetuity.
It fits the leftists’ scheme and their quest for a one-party totalitarian government to villainize every dissenting voice. Therefore, hundreds have been arrested and imprisoned, violating their constitutional rights. Biden’s inaugural address and first state of the union speech to Congress emphasized a contrived threat of “white supremacy,” and “domestic terrorism.” The leftists’ most trusted “ace in the hole” is the ad hominem attack, calling every opponent a “racist,” “fascist,” or “terrorist.” Their goal is the isolation and silencing of any dissenting voice(s).
The radical Left has no shame, and no concern for us or our futures. It’s about gaining power, then deceiving and demoralizing the electorate by engaging in a sustained psychological warfare campaign that supplants reasoned, rational thought with an unreasonable, irrational, and fearful psychosis.
In all human history, America is a shining gem and worth fighting for! Be unapologetically American and fight back through every respectful and peaceful means possible.

This is the kind of bullshit that you have chosen to believe!
Democrats keep claiming, without proof, that there has been no “significant” election fraud in 2020 and insisting that anyone who wants to claim there was must prove it or be silenced. Then, of course, they cut off all efforts to show that proof.
Most good faith attempts before judges to prove widespread fraud and cheating were either dismissed before the elections because it was “too early to sue” or, after the elections, because it was “too late to sue,” or the plaintiffs were dismissed for lack of standing. Outside of courts, conservatives were denied investigation and follow-ups (the FBI routinely denied any election-fraud investigations in 2020 and 2021), despite evidence from hundreds, if not thousands, of eyewitnesses, experts, and other inquisitive individuals and groups.
The courts didn't believe the big lie.
So people like discredit our courts, the FBI etc.

Why did Spotify choose Joe Rogan over Neil Young? Hint: It’s not a music company.

Today at 8:00 a.m. EST
In one corner was Joe Rogan, the stand-up comedian and former “Fear Factor” host turned provocative podcaster.
In the other stood Neil Young, the multi-Grammy-winning rock legend with a lifelong passion for progressive causes.
The battle lasted two days, and Rogan won without making a peep.
Young started the scuffle when he posted a letter to his website Monday, addressed to his manager and an executive at his record label, demanding that his music catalogue be removed from Spotify in response to “fake information about vaccines.”
Specifically, Young cited Joe Rogan — who hosts “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast — and has suggested healthy, young people shouldn’t get vaccinated. After catching the coronavirus, Rogan also praised ivermectin, a medicine used to kill parasites in animals and humans that has no proven anti-viral benefits. “I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,” he wrote. “They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.”

Spotify pulls Neil Young’s music following Joe Rogan dispute
Spotify said on Jan. 26 that it agreed to remove Neil Young’s music after the singer accused Joe Rogan of spreading vaccine misinformation on the platform. (Reuters)
Two days later, without a word from Rogan, Spotify began the process of removing the famed rocker’s music, including his best-known hits such as “Heart of Gold,” “Harvest Moon” and “Rockin’ in the Free World.”

Spotify pulls Neil Young’s music after his ultimatum regarding Joe Rogan and ‘fake information about vaccines’
The speed of Spotify’s decision to sideline Young was jarring. So why did the company do it?
The answer is simple: This isn’t really a story about Rogan or Young. It’s a story about Spotify. And, despite public perception, Spotify isn’t a music company. It’s a tech company looking to maximize profits.
He was spreading false information about science

Bidenomics Build Back Broker policies have failed Americans now Biden exports it to Ukraine.
"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned international corporate media and world leaders like President Joe Biden for publicly predicting imminent war with Russia on Friday, stating that the panic caused by these statements cost Ukraine 12.5 billion hryvnia (about $437 million) in foreign investment."
Ch goes for nonsense like the Democrats have not proved their point (they have) and that Democrats "cut off all efforts to show that proof."
No, Democrats did not cut off a single attempt by either Republican or Democratic state election officials to investigate claims of election fraud, nor did they interfere with any of the serveral audits (and audits of audits!) carried out by Republican legislatures in a futile attempt to find anything remotely resembling significant fraud attempts.
The few tiny findings of fraud were infinitesimally small, and all of them taken together would not change the election's outcome.
Here is intelligent analysis of the Ukraine situation:
New discord between Ukraine and US may play right into Putin's hands
-- or not
Analysis by Stephen Collinson
Updated 12:50 PM ET, Fri January 28, 2022
(CNN)New signs of a fracture between the US and Ukraine over the imminence of a possible Russian invasion could seriously undermine President Joe Biden's muscular front against Vladimir Putin in their escalating standoff.
Frustration in Kyiv has mounted in recent days over escalating US rhetoric on the crisis, even as Moscow pours more troops into positions near the Ukrainian border. Washington and its allies have been waging an unusually open and vocal public relations warfare campaign -- an approach that primarily appears rooted in genuine fears of a major conflagration in Ukraine.
But there are clear signs that the strategy is also designed to pile pressure on Putin and to sharpen his strategic dilemma while compelling US allies in Europe into taking tougher stands. It may offer political cover to Biden by showing that he was not caught off guard if Russia does invade. The strategy also shields a President, who is wobbling at home, from attacks by Republican hawks keen to portray him as a weak appeaser ahead of midterm elections.
Yet it also threatens to cause a clash between the wider interests of Biden and those of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is trying to maintain calm at home even as he tries to enlist international arms and support for his country's defense.
A telephone call that 'did not go well'
A call between Zelensky and Biden on Thursday should have been used to get on the same page. But the Ukrainians made it known ahead of time they would ask the US President to tone down his rhetoric. After the leaders spoke, a senior Ukrainian official told CNN's Matthew Chance in Kyiv that the call "did not go well" and that Zelensky had asked his US counterpart to "calm down the messaging" while arguing the Russian threat was still ambiguous.
According to the Ukrainian official, Biden warned an invasion was now virtually certain once the ground freezes in February, making it more passable for military vehicles.
National Security Council spokesperson Emily Horne disputed the account of the call and said "anonymous sources are 'leaking' falsehoods." She noted that Biden had warned that a February invasion was a possibility, a position she said he had adopted for months.
Zelensky's spokesman also disputed the Ukrainian official's characterization of the call. The Ukrainian President himself tweeted that he and Biden had a long call and "discussed recent diplomatic efforts on de-escalation and agreed on joint actions for the future."
Whatever the specifics of the private conversation, it is no secret that the US and Ukraine have been publicly at odds over the scale of the threat. The government in Kyiv was, for instance, taken by surprise earlier this week when the State Department said it would reduce staff levels at the US embassy, beginning with the departure of nonessential staff and families of diplomats.
Zelensky told journalists in Kyiv on Friday that the decision by the US and UK to withdraw some staff from their embassies in the capital was a "mistake."
"I think it was a mistake," the Ukrainian President said. "I say this openly."
Zelensky added that he thought American and British diplomats should stay in Kyiv, comparing them to ship captains, who in his view should be the last ones to leave.
"These are the captains of the diplomatic corps, they're the representatives of their respective countries," he explained. "And the captains are the last who should be leaving the ship.
He continued: "I don't think we have a Titanic here; Ukraine is moving forward."
This disconnect is notable between two friendly governments and reflects the extreme high stakes of the moment. It's also an odd public drama since a nation under apparently imminent threat of an invasion has a lower assessment of its own vulnerability than the United States, which has marshaled an international effort in its defense. Most damagingly, signs of a public disagreement between Biden and Zelensky would play directly into Russian hands. Moscow has already highlighted Ukraine's more temperate position to argue that Washington is exploiting the country to escalate against Russia.
In fact, the opposite is the case, with Putin holding Ukraine hostage in a bid to wring concessions from Biden that would change post-Cold War Europe.
Suggestions that the US and Ukraine are on a different page on the likelihood of a Russian attack might also cause political problems for Biden back home -- from critics on the radical wings of both political parties who have criticized his hawkish approach. After all, why should the United States be more worried about the security of a country in Russia's backyard than its own leader is?
Information warfare
As Russia has built up its massive force around Ukraine, the United States has responded by deploying information warfare against a proven master of the genre -- Putin. Biden and his aides have not pleaded with the Russian leader not to invade. They have instead said repeatedly that they think he will do so and used the word "imminent."
The Pentagon said Thursday that Russia had poured more troops in to the region in the previous 24 hours. Last week, Britain released intelligence that it said showed Putin was trying to replace the Kyiv government with a puppet regime, bolstering US warnings that Ukraine is in immediate danger.
In another development on Thursday, the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank released open source satellite imagery and analysis on the Russian build-up.
This kind of information offensive from Washington is not the typical approach to a standoff with a foreign power. So it's raised questions about the administration's intentions.
The first explanation is that the US actually believes what it is saying -- that Russian tanks could soon start rolling in one of the most serious threats to an independent nation in greater Europe since World War II.
While direct clashes between US and Russian forces are unlikely, there would be global implications from such a conflict. The principle would be established that powerful autocracies could swallow smaller democracies.
Reverberations between the US and Russia, possibly including cyber exchanges, could follow. All of that would explain why the administration is working so hard to put the world on notice.
Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire co-led a bipartisan delegation to Kyiv last week. She told CNN on Thursday: "I believe the threat is very real and could happen at any time based on the information that I've seen."
Pressure on Putin
Washington may also be driven by a desire to deprive the Russian leader of any element of surprise for his mobilization. If Moscow does invade, or bites off another chunk of Ukrainian territory to add to its 2014 annexation of Crimea, the administration's urgency will have been vindicated. If Putin eventually backs down, Biden can argue that his strong stand worked, and the Russian leader may look diminished in the eyes of the world. But the strategy also risks putting the Russian leader into a corner and could force him to act to save his strongman image.
While praising Biden for refusing to accept Russian concessions, Thomas DiNanno, a former senior State Department arms control official in the Trump administration, said it might be wise to cool the language.
"I would encourage the administration to return to the notion of strategic ambiguity, you know, don't tip your hand. And I think maybe they've done that a little bit too aggressively," DiNanno, now with the Hudson Institute, said on CNN "Newsroom" on Thursday.
One reason why Biden and Zelensky's messages are clashing is that they are addressing different audiences. Biden is speaking to Russia, Europe and the American people. Zelensky is trying to guard against panic at home. He responded to previous warnings by the US that an invasion could be imminent by telling his people to take a deep breath and to stay calm. Yet his aides may have seriously erred in their readout of the Biden call. The US President has stuck his neck out to support Ukraine. Embarrassing him is no kind of payback and Zelensky risks his own stature in Washington.
More importantly, Russia will take advantage of such splits.
"I am a little bit worried that disclosing a lot of this in the public is not going to help anything, it will help just Mr. Putin," John Tefft, a former US ambassador to Moscow, said on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" on Thursday.
The principle would be established that powerful autocracies could swallow smaller democracies.
You mean like when Putin laughed at Obama's lame threats and then seized control of Crimea anyways while Obama did nothing but shit his pants?
That kind of thing?
Upping the heat on Europe
Robust American rhetoric on the crisis also appears to have another purpose -- convincing America's less hawkish European allies that their own security is at risk.
To begin with, the US approach only exposed transatlantic differences. Biden was criticized last week by Republicans for suggesting that allies might not back a full implementation of sanctions in the event of a "minor incursion" by Russia into Ukraine. But he was telling the truth.
In another sign of discord, French President Emmanuel Macron called for a European Union channel to Moscow. The head of Germany's Navy had to resign after remarks sympathetic to Putin.
But Biden's strong line now appears to be working. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told CNN's Christiane Amanpour Thursday that "nothing was off the table" including killing the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project designed to bring Russian gas to Europe and the removal of Russia from the SWIFT financial transfers system. And Germany's new foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, said Berlin was working on strong sanctions should Russia invade Ukraine -- including on Nord Stream, a shift in a previous German position. Biden announced on Thursday that new German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will visit him at the White House next month in a further sign of a converging position.
Still, the US diplomatic effort also reflects Putin's underlying advantage. He knows his own mind and few others do. The question will soon start to be asked how long the United States can continue to warn that an invasion that doesn't come is "imminent." Prolonging the alert might eventually open up new divides between the US and Ukraine and Washington and its European allies.
And Putin may spot an opening.

It looks like Putin is going to install a puppet President, just like he did five years ago here!
You mean like during the final year of George W. Bush's presidency, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Georgia and Bush did nothing about it?
Putin was trying to replace the Kyiv government with a puppet regime, just like he did five years ago here
Bush's response to Russian aggression in Georgia:
"U.S. C-17s did fly humanitarian supplies to Tbilisi, but President Bush ruled out military action. His administration imposed modest penalties on Russia, ratcheting down bilateral relations, freezing a U.S.-Russia civil nuclear cooperation agreement and ending support for Moscow’s bid to join the World Trade Organization. U.S. officials found that they had little leverage to affect Moscow’s behavior."
--------
Sounds like Biden and our European allies are determined to be far, far more aggressive in their reactions to any Russian invasion of Ukraine.
There will be sanctions far more disruptive than mere "modest penalties" imposed on Russia.
Fuck Joe Biden his violent raping of the incomes of Americans continues.

“I’ve decided to remove all my music from Spotify. Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives. I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue,” Mitchell wrote in the brief note on her website.
Hitler's Mein Kampf is not on the list of the top 100 banned books in the USA. Probably not a banned book. But Maus, a book about the Holocaust, is.
The Republicans are turning into a fascist party. Banning books about the holocaust!!!!
