U.S. Won’t Negotiate with Russia to Save Iran Nuclear Deal March 13, 2022 at 9:01 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
“The U.S. won’t negotiate exemptions to Ukraine-related sanctions on Russia to save the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal and instead would try to strike an alternative agreement that excludes Russia if the Kremlin doesn’t back off from last-minute demands," the Wall Street Journal reports.
“With one of President Biden’s top foreign-policy goals imperiled, the senior U.S. official said Moscow had a week to withdraw its demand for written guarantees exempting Russia from any Ukraine-related sanctions that would constrain Moscow’s future trade with Iran. Such guarantees could undercut the West’s punishing array of sanctions leveled at Russia over the Ukraine invasion.”
Democrats Push Biden on Better Midterm Message 8:53 am EDT New York Times: “Other prominent Democrats have also privately voiced discontent to Mr. Biden. Those ranks include Democrats who may also run for president and some who already have. Speaking to a friend last month, Hillary Clinton expressed concern that Mr. Biden was not offering a compelling narrative to voters about his presidency.”
Ukraine War Ushers In ‘New Era’ for U.S. Abroad 8:49 am EDT “The war in Ukraine has prompted the biggest rethinking of American foreign policy since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, infusing the United States with a new sense of mission and changing its strategic calculus with allies and adversaries alike,” the New York Times reports.
“The Russian invasion has bonded America to Europe more tightly than at any time since the Cold War and deepened U.S. ties with Asian allies, while forcing a reassessment of rivals like China, Iran and Venezuela.
“And it has re-energized Washington’s leadership role in the democratic world just months after the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan ended 20 years of conflict on a dismal note.”
TRUE AMERICANS WELCOME THIS NEW SENSE OF OUR STATUS IN THE WORLD. REPUBLICANS RESENT IT.
We Can Do More to Help Ukraine 8:47 am EDT Evelyn Farkas: “We need to make our own judgments about what counts as escalation and what counts as a reasonable step to help Ukrainians, and not defer to Putin on these questions. After all, he has already asserted that economic sanctions amount to a “declaration of war” (and yet he has not responded as if he believes this). And when considering whether a NATO move would be ‘provocative,’ it is important to remember that Putin provoked all of this — he chose to launch this unjustified war against Ukraine.
“Ultimately, we must weigh the dangers of escalation against what is at stake: the real possibility — given the brutal nature of the war so far — of the slaughter of civilians that could rise to the level of genocide. And we should weigh those dangers against what the United Nations calls the “responsibility to protect.”
"While there are risks in helping Ukraine survive the Russian onslaught, there are also risks in letting Putin’s expansionist aggression go unchecked. If he sees that NATO will sit back and let him take Ukraine, he is likely to turn next to other neighboring former Soviet republics that aren’t in the alliance, such as Moldova and Georgia (which he already invaded once, in 2008)…”
“By publicly dithering about providing fighter jets, and rejecting out of hand even limited humanitarian no-fly zones, we are setting unnecessary limits on ourselves and deferring to Putin — while the Russian army remorselessly kills Ukrainian civilians.”

Russian Strike Near Poland Kills 35 March 13, 2022 at 8:42 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 5 Comments
“At least 35 people were killed and 134 injured early Sunday when a barrage of Russian missiles slammed into a military facility in Western Ukraine about 15 miles from the border with Poland, a NATO member,” the Washington Post reports.
“The Yavoriv military range near Lviv, also known as the International Peacekeeping and Security Center, has for years been used for exercises by NATO troops and Ukrainians, with Americans on-site as recently as February… The airstrike came a day after the Kremlin warned that it viewed Western weapons shipments as ‘legitimate targets,’ heightening the possibility of a direct conflict with the West.”

China Wants to Appear Neutral But Isn’t 9:06 am EDT
“When Russia invaded Ukraine last month, a spate of wishful thinking ran through the West that China, a great power with friends on both sides, might step in to mediate a cease-fire,” the Los Angeles Times reports.
“China’s government struck a pose of neutrality, called for a peaceful resolution and said it supported the principle of ‘territorial integrity.’ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a public plea to China’s Xi Jinping to intervene.”
“But Xi has been missing in action — and in practice, his policies have been far less neutral than advertised.”

He was supporting the Ukrainian Nazis, according to Putin (and Tucker Carlson?)
Indeed. Which is your first indicator, and the only indicator you'll need, to understand that the left is bereft of ideas. Ideas on the economy, gas prices, inflation, Ukraine, and every other fucking mess they, led by the imbecile in the white house, has foisted upon us.
The left always needs a boogieman - Tucker, Putin, TRUMP, etc., when they are failing and failing at their worst. The left always needs a villain in every false narrative, and a cavalcade of asshats like the pederast and the alky to promote them.
Once you get an ideological bureaucracy in Washington, the more militant it becomes, the stupider it gets because it relies on groupthink and not expertise to reach decisions.

Even after the invasion, two Trump allies in the House - Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar - participated in a white nationalist conference at which participants applauded Russia's move on Ukraine and chanted Putin's name.
Infighting over Putin and Ukraine has exacerbated existing divisions within the party over Trump's false claims of widespread election fraud in 2020, and a House investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by the former president's supporters.

The infighting in the Republican party, endangers their chances of winning in November.
The Republicans are vying to become candidates at the November midterm elections in which control of the U.S. Congress is at stake.
In Utah, independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin, a former CIA officer, attacked Republican Senator Mike Lee in an ad accusing the two-term incumbent of "making us weak and unsafe" in the midst of the current Ukraine crisis by opposing sanctions against Russia and visiting Moscow.
But the actions cited in the ad occurred years before the Ukraine invasion or were mischaracterized, according to the fact-checking website PolitiFact, which judged the ad "mostly false."
Lee's office did not respond to a Reuters query seeking comment. But McMullin's campaign said it stood behind the ad and insisted that Lee has displayed a pattern of appeasing Putin.
Blogger Caliphate4vr said... KAMALA HARRIS: "Our task is to show people that in many ways they got what they ordered. Right? They said this is what they wanted...so let's get out there as we do and remind them of that."

Ed was famous for saying after an election - "The people have spoken, and now they must be punished."
In Utah, independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin, a former CIA officer,...
...Paid himself millions in salary funded by campaign $$$ while stiffing the campaign vendors/workers out of over $600K during his last run for office.
A true scumbag, so someone the left can easily get behind.
• McMullin paid himself $45,000 as president of Stand Up Ideas (his non-profit) • Stand Up Ideas paid McMullin's for profit business $222,305 in 2017, $1.5 million in 2018 • McMullin's other non-profit (Stand Up Republic) paid his business $1.2 million in 2018.
This is what you get when your president is in the midst of a severe cognitive decline...
President Biden issued a warning to his party about the possibility of Republicans taking control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections during remarks to Democratic National Committee members on Thursday evening.
He encouraged Democrats to use the same work ethic, enthusiasm and energy they had in the 2020 election as they seek to keep control of the House and Senate, and to add seats.
“If we don’t do that, don’t do that, it’s going to be a sad, sad two years. Think about Republicans if they controlled the Congress these last two years,” the president said to members at their winter meeting in Washington, D.C.
He praised Democrats’ record and told them to use it when campaigning for the midterms.
“I believe we have a record to be incredibly proud of … a message that resonates: Build a better America. Now we have to do the work,” Biden said.
“Now what we have to do is we have to sell it with confidence, clarity, conviction and repetition,” he said.
A South Carolina Republican who was attacked by Donald Trump at a rally in Florence on Saturday night fired back by calling the former president a "would-be tyrant" after the event.
According to a report from the Guardian, Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC) didn't take Trump's comments lying down and defended his decision to vote to impeach the former president for his part in inciting the Jan 6th insurrection.
She might be the first woman President in history.
Nikki Haley, like Trump, has been slated as a potential presidential candidate in 2024. However, while she has previously been a vocal critic of Trump, she has never gone so far as to fully condemn or break ties with him, and has even suggested that she would not run against him for president.
Political experts have noted that she is likely always staying mindful of how the GOP views Trump.
"Nikki's very smart—it'd never occur to me that she doesn't know exactly what she's doing," South Carolina's treasurer, Curtis Loftis, told the Times. "If the political winds change for President Trump, she's prepared to be there, and this is part of that."

just imagine for one millisecond if the media gave the same quantity and tone of breathless coverage to *our* border invasion as they're giving ukraine, picture it - the blood and carnage in mexico relentlessly documented, detailed profiles on the worst of the cartel figures and human traffickers, up close, showing the sheer volume of people crossing the border each day, people scaling the walls, human interest stories given to the victims, their full names, ongoing reports of immigrant violence and crime inside the country, following these people, detailing their every crime, showing housing in america overflowing with 10 immigrant families living in a building, nonstop for weeks or months on end - imagine the coverage.
the average american would be panicking and demanding an immediate end to it, they would call for boots on the ground, armored vehicles, immediate action, polls would shift as violently as they have for russia's invasion, in lockstep, across the aisle, if the media just bothered to cover it
Irina Tsukerman, a geopolitical and security analyst, suggests a more sinister linkage between Ukraine and the Iran deal. Biden could be sacrificing Ukraine in order to secure Russia’s co-operation in pushing the recalcitrant Tehran towards a deal, she argues. This may allow America to secure cheap Iranian oil, easing the squeeze on household budgets at home.
Worse still, once the nuclear deal is done, Biden may seek to handcuff Israel to prevent it from taking further military action in Syria or against Iran itself. Why? With the US hooked on Iranian oil, Biden would need to “contain” the regime and prevent it from turning the financial screw by raising oil prices.
In the coming weeks, NATO, which has vowed to defend allied countries from any incursion by Russian forces, plans to gather 30,000 troops from 25 countries in Europe and North America in Norway to conduct live-fire drills and other cold-weather military exercises.
The exercises, which Norway hosts biannually, were announced more than eight months ago, NATO said, and are not linked to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which NATO said it was responding to with “preventive, proportionate and non-escalatory measures.”
But the training has taken on greater significance as Russia steps up its bombardment of Ukrainian population centers.
Around Kyiv, the capital, Russian forces have advanced into the suburbs but have been slowed by Ukrainian troops that have counterattacked with ambushes on armored columns. On Saturday, artillery fire intensified around Kyiv, with a low rumble heard in most parts of the city.
By Saturday, there were no indications of further efforts by the Russian army to move armored columns closer to the capital. Instead, soldiers appeared to be fighting for control of the towns along the highways that encircle it.
In Irpin, about three miles from Kyiv city limits, Ukrainian and Russian soldiers were fighting a street-by-street battle on Saturday, turning what was a quiet suburb just two weeks ago into a suburban battleground.
The former would have withdrawn from NATO and we would not have given support. Putin would have won by now.

I was waiting for one of her aides to inform her that Ukraine is NOT part of NATO, but I don't think there's anyone left on her staff with the courage to open themselves up to one of her histrionic tirades.

Anyone trying to sexualize kindergartners is satanic. Full stop.
This is the way.
I can see why pedophiles are upset
American Journalist Killed In Ukraine
10:44 am EDT
Brent Renaud, an award-winning American filmmaker and journalist, was killed in Ukraine on Sunday while reporting in a suburb of the capital, Kyiv, the New York Times reports.
________
He was supporting the Ukrainian Nazis, according to Putin (and Tucker Carlson?)
One can easily compare Tucker's words and Putin's words and see the similarity.
The left is going apeshit over Tucker.
Indeed. Which is your first indicator, and the only indicator you'll need, to understand that the left is bereft of ideas. Ideas on the economy, gas prices, inflation, Ukraine, and every other fucking mess they, led by the imbecile in the white house, has foisted upon us.
The left always needs a boogieman - Tucker, Putin, TRUMP, etc., when they are failing and failing at their worst. The left always needs a villain in every false narrative, and a cavalcade of asshats like the pederast and the alky to promote them.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson has been accused of using his platform on the network to push pro-Russia talking points.
The allegation came from ABC News' chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl during an interview with MSNBC.
Russia has been showing actual footage of Kamala Harris and Joe Bidens shockingly amateurish "speeches" as propaganda
puppets?

Once you get an ideological bureaucracy in Washington, the more militant it becomes, the stupider it gets because it relies on groupthink and not expertise to reach decisions. Critical feedback is absent and it becomes just as blind as Putin's inner circle.

They are genuinely bewildered by everything blowing up in their faces because they've double checked the infallible ideological calculations and it's all apple pie so failure must be a fluke. Let's try again.

You need an external POV to unstick a bogged down ideological bureaucracy the way you need holdbacks, pulleys and a recovery vehicle to get a tank out of the mud. Without real intellectual diversity a civilization can languish indefinitely.

"It's all Tucker's fault." Say the small thinkers who always need someone to blame, when that someone always turns out to be THEMSELVES.
This is real.

Even after the invasion, two Trump allies in the House - Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar - participated in a white nationalist conference at which participants applauded Russia's move on Ukraine and chanted Putin's name.
Infighting over Putin and Ukraine has exacerbated existing divisions within the party over Trump's false claims of widespread election fraud in 2020, and a House investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by the former president's supporters.
Report ad
Trump has been widely criticized for describing Putin's actions toward Ukraine as "genius" and "pretty savvy" in a Feb. 22 interview.
The most diverse President in history.
“I ran twice, I won twice, and I did much better the second time.”
— Donald Trump, quoted by Rolling Stone, on the 2020 presidential election that he lost by over seven million votes.
YOU WILL DO EVEN BETTER THE THIRD TIME, DONALD, WHEN YOU "WIN" BY ZERO VOTES.
He has divided the country more than any other person in our history.
The host and the truthers are loyalist members to Donald Trump.

Joe Tzu: The Art of Losing War
Brent Renaud, an award-winning American filmmaker and journalist, was killed in Ukraine on Sunday while reporting in a suburb of the capital, Kyiv, the New York Times reports.
He worked for the NY Times.
I must say that when I heard the news I felt absolutely... Nothing.
Like when a couple of FBI agents were shot and killed in Florida serving a warrant or something recently.
Nothing.
It must be the fact that Renaud and those two agents work for two of the most disgustingly corrupt American organizations on the fucking planet.
When you work for an entity that knowingly, gleefully, and aggressively LIES to the American people as part of their ethos. Your sudden demise is not tragic, but helpful.

As the alky arises from his slumber of idiocy to prove my point -
The left always needs a boogieman - Tucker, Putin, TRUMP, etc., when they are failing and failing at their worst. The left always needs a villain in every false narrative, and a cavalcade of asshats like the pederast and the alky to promote them.
Good morning alky.

The infighting in the Republican party, endangers their chances of winning in November.
The Republicans are vying to become candidates at the November midterm elections in which control of the U.S. Congress is at stake.
In Utah, independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin, a former CIA officer, attacked Republican Senator Mike Lee in an ad accusing the two-term incumbent of "making us weak and unsafe" in the midst of the current Ukraine crisis by opposing sanctions against Russia and visiting Moscow.
But the actions cited in the ad occurred years before the Ukraine invasion or were mischaracterized, according to the fact-checking website PolitiFact, which judged the ad "mostly false."
Lee's office did not respond to a Reuters query seeking comment. But McMullin's campaign said it stood behind the ad and insisted that Lee has displayed a pattern of appeasing Putin.

In Utah, independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin, a former CIA officer,...
...Paid himself millions in salary funded by campaign $$$ while stiffing the campaign vendors/workers out of over $600K during his last run for office.
A true scumbag, so someone the left can easily get behind.
• McMullin paid himself $45,000 as president of Stand Up Ideas (his non-profit)
• Stand Up Ideas paid McMullin's for profit business $222,305 in 2017, $1.5 million in 2018
• McMullin's other non-profit (Stand Up Republic) paid his business $1.2 million in 2018.

This is what you get when your president is in the midst of a severe cognitive decline...
President Biden issued a warning to his party about the possibility of Republicans taking control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections during remarks to Democratic National Committee members on Thursday evening.
He encouraged Democrats to use the same work ethic, enthusiasm and energy they had in the 2020 election as they seek to keep control of the House and Senate, and to add seats.
“If we don’t do that, don’t do that, it’s going to be a sad, sad two years. Think about Republicans if they controlled the Congress these last two years,” the president said to members at their winter meeting in Washington, D.C.
He praised Democrats’ record and told them to use it when campaigning for the midterms.
“I believe we have a record to be incredibly proud of … a message that resonates: Build a better America. Now we have to do the work,” Biden said.
“Now what we have to do is we have to sell it with confidence, clarity, conviction and repetition,” he said.

The jokes AND the campaign ads. They write themselves.
A real Republican said Thecoldheartedtruth.
A South Carolina Republican who was attacked by Donald Trump at a rally in Florence on Saturday night fired back by calling the former president a "would-be tyrant" after the event.
According to a report from the Guardian, Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC) didn't take Trump's comments lying down and defended his decision to vote to impeach the former president for his part in inciting the Jan 6th insurrection.
Trump loves Putin.
Straight from the horse’s ass himself: Biden MIGHT want to look at what he ‘promised’ he’d do to the oil industry during the primary (watch)
No more drilling on federal lands.
No more drilling offshore.
No ability for the oil industry to drill, period.
But you know, PUTIN! RUSSIA!
They think we’re stupid.
Most of us are not.

She might be the first woman President in history.
Nikki Haley, like Trump, has been slated as a potential presidential candidate in 2024. However, while she has previously been a vocal critic of Trump, she has never gone so far as to fully condemn or break ties with him, and has even suggested that she would not run against him for president.
Political experts have noted that she is likely always staying mindful of how the GOP views Trump.
"Nikki's very smart—it'd never occur to me that she doesn't know exactly what she's doing," South Carolina's treasurer, Curtis Loftis, told the Times. "If the political winds change for President Trump, she's prepared to be there, and this is part of that."
She is not an isolationist.
Trump loves Putin.
And there it is. The slogan that completely encapsulates the left's mid-term election strategery right now.
And it conveniently fit's on a bumper sticker even!
Of course it mind-numbingly stupid, but I suppose that's part of the appeal.
Small slogan for small thinkers.

just imagine for one millisecond if the media gave the same quantity and tone of breathless coverage to *our* border invasion as they're giving ukraine, picture it - the blood and carnage in mexico relentlessly documented, detailed profiles on the worst of the cartel figures and human traffickers, up close, showing the sheer volume of people crossing the border each day, people scaling the walls, human interest stories given to the victims, their full names, ongoing reports of immigrant violence and crime inside the country, following these people, detailing their every crime, showing housing in america overflowing with 10 immigrant families living in a building, nonstop for weeks or months on end - imagine the coverage.
the average american would be panicking and demanding an immediate end to it, they would call for boots on the ground, armored vehicles, immediate action, polls would shift as violently as they have for russia's invasion, in lockstep, across the aisle, if the media just bothered to cover it
but they don't even know
FACT CHECK - TRUE
Irina Tsukerman, a geopolitical and security analyst, suggests a more sinister linkage between Ukraine and the Iran deal. Biden could be sacrificing Ukraine in order to secure Russia’s co-operation in pushing the recalcitrant Tehran towards a deal, she argues. This may allow America to secure cheap Iranian oil, easing the squeeze on household budgets at home.
Worse still, once the nuclear deal is done, Biden may seek to handcuff Israel to prevent it from taking further military action in Syria or against Iran itself. Why? With the US hooked on Iranian oil, Biden would need to “contain” the regime and prevent it from turning the financial screw by raising oil prices.

In the coming weeks, NATO, which has vowed to defend allied countries from any incursion by Russian forces, plans to gather 30,000 troops from 25 countries in Europe and North America in Norway to conduct live-fire drills and other cold-weather military exercises.
The exercises, which Norway hosts biannually, were announced more than eight months ago, NATO said, and are not linked to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which NATO said it was responding to with “preventive, proportionate and non-escalatory measures.”
But the training has taken on greater significance as Russia steps up its bombardment of Ukrainian population centers.
Around Kyiv, the capital, Russian forces have advanced into the suburbs but have been slowed by Ukrainian troops that have counterattacked with ambushes on armored columns. On Saturday, artillery fire intensified around Kyiv, with a low rumble heard in most parts of the city.
By Saturday, there were no indications of further efforts by the Russian army to move armored columns closer to the capital. Instead, soldiers appeared to be fighting for control of the towns along the highways that encircle it.
In Irpin, about three miles from Kyiv city limits, Ukrainian and Russian soldiers were fighting a street-by-street battle on Saturday, turning what was a quiet suburb just two weeks ago into a suburban battleground.
The former would have withdrawn from NATO and we would not have given support. Putin would have won by now.
