BIDEN'S DANGEROUS GAFF.

Biden could have started a world war 
just on a gaff .

(1)>>Biden's last Gaff may be the last ...gasp
for any ending to the Ukrainian -Russian conflict. What we are seeing today is not a stutter, it is dementia. .  As the rest of the World stares open mouthed at Biden’s latest mumbling diplomatic gaff, how many Americans must be praying for a regime change of their own? 
With a poll taken before  (1.2)>>Biden’s European trip saying that some 70% of Americans have limited or little confidence in his handling of the Ukraine war, the stakes were already high. After Saturday’s speech, Biden faced questions about the wisdom of going off-script and aides fanned out to say that the U.S. hasn’t adopted a policy of seeking regime change. Funny how gaffes are crippling to Democrats. Treating these things he say as innocent "mistakes" just allows him to avoid responsibility for who he really is. He is a  architect of the patriot act and one of the biggest proponents for the war on drugs. He voted for the Iraq war that cost our nation TRILLIONS. (Billions alone in air conditioning). (2)>>Joe Biden is a bought and paid-for industry military shill , so far his Poland trip is like a deep state leak . Every gaff he says spills the beans of what his state department has been planning behind closed doors . I looked at it many times, with teleprompters in frame, and it sure looks like he's reading that last line directly off teleprompter. So is his team using the well-known Biden gaff thing as a planned ruse for him to say what he wants with some deniability? Matryoshka dolls? Regardless, this seems like an oddly cut piece of his speech, what did he say before or after this? There’s no context at all.Where will they see this? History books? The news? In movies? In the context of (3)>>US troops in Ukraine, why would they see it? Are Ukrainian women going to stand in front of US tanks? It doesn’t even make sense if you put it in the context of troops in Ukraine.  His ad-libbed words -- "For God's sake, this man cannot remain power" -- caught even US advisors off guard, representing a stark departure from oft-stated American policy.The White House sprung immediately into action, clarifying within minutes that Biden was not advocating "regime change" in Russia.But the comments by Biden -- who hours earlier called Putin a "butcher" -- drew predictable fury from Moscow, raised eyebrows in allied countries, and sent the president's advisors into high gear to mollify the criticism.Stoking a potentially dangerous confrontation with the Russian leader would be a risky approach for Biden as domestic challenges -- inflation, soaring gasoline prices and an economic agenda that’s stuck in Congress -- pile up ahead of mid-term elections in November where his Democrats’ majority in Congress is at stake.  (4)>>Biden has a decades-long reputation for unfortunate off-the-cuff remarks -- newspapers have previously listed his "top 10 gaffes of all time" -- and Risch, the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the president had again shot himself in the foot.Everyone says that Biden committed a "gaff" in his comment about Putin. Just a reminder that a gaff is when a politician tells the truth/ LIE . "A 'gaffe' is the opposite of a 'lie'/ TRUTH : it's when a politician inadvertently tells the joke."

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>>Biden's last Gaff may be the last ...gasp .The administration quickly went into damage control mode, immediately distancing its official position from its Biden’s remarks, making it clear that the United States did not support regime change in Russia and—less convincingly—that the president really meant something different. “The president’s point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region,” a Biden administration official told reporters. “He was not discussing Putin’s power in Russia, or regime change.” This remark followed two others, in which Biden described Putin as a “butcher” and a “war criminal” that similarly were far more aggressive than the official American position. Biden himself, meanwhile, further confused the situation on Monday by saying “I just was expressing my outrage. He shouldn’t remain in power, just like, you know, bad people shouldn’t continue to do bad things,” but also that “it doesn’t mean we have a fundamental policy to do anything to take Putin down in any way.”(1.2)>>Biden’s European trip saying that some 70% of Americans have limited or little confidence in his handling of the Ukraine war. The HONEST TRUTH is , like "what the hell are we doing there ?" -- I personally don't care about Ukraine , why did our government meddle there since 2014 , why has the US been sending billions worth of weapons for years  . Joe Biden has his legs deep in the Ukraine problem , its his mess going back to Obama . HIS HANDLING of it , there is plenty of blame to go around why this new proxy war is going on .The poll comes on the heels of Biden's emergency trip to Europe to meet with world leaders about the escalating conflict in Ukraine. A new NPR/Ipsos poll finds that a majority of Americans think President Biden has not done a good job in his handling of the war. Many say the president has been too cautious, even as a majority say they're wary of sparking a broader conflict. (2)>>Joe Biden is a bought and paid-for industry military shill. The cold war phrase “military-Industrial complex” seems so dark and sinister,  sorta like deep state . Biden’s Pentagon budget satisfies that demand. In this respect at least, it’s as if Trump never left office. Joe Biden signed into law his first military budget — the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 — which boosts “defense” spending higher than even under Donald Trump. The bill’s $778 billion price tag confirms that Biden intends to double down on the same “New Cold War” framework . A proxy war in Ukraine would give the US a good chance to get our foot firmly in the door of controlling Ukraine oil and gas just like we hoped for in Iraq, though that didn't quite work out like we hoped. Wars also help unite public opinion in favor of the current president and it's obvious Biden needs massive help in that department.What a Joke the military industrial complex leaders are. What are they going to fund it with, the U.S. Dollar? Oh I get going green means, we will press Dollars from dumb truck loads into Tanks that can't move and that will be "Green".(3)>>US troops in Ukraine. Although Biden spoke as if US troops were heading into Ukraine, he repeatedly ruled out that possibility in prior public remarks.The US/NATO can't send boots on the ground to Ukraine because it would probably start WW3. It would start WW3 because Ukraine is not apart of NATO and Putin knows this, which is why he invaded Ukraine (for many other reasons too) after they showed some interest in joining. If Ukraine had joined NATO that would essentially have stopped Ukraine from being invaded. (Hypothetically). I also think Biden's gang are living out our decades-long collective national fantasy of confronting Russia which makes them that much more motivated.It was not immediately clear whether Biden misspoke or misused the word “train” to describe interactions between American and Ukrainian military personnel in Poland. (4)>>Biden has a decades-long reputation for unfortunate off-the-cuff remarks --. Sleepy Joe's gaffs are DANGEROUSLY FUNNY ,its been decades of odd slurs . Yet WE outta be worried now since he is President . LOL . Think that Putin is bad , I kind wonder who is pushing the buttons here .Biden's "gaffes" are communicative-syntax related thought errors , he may garble a word or sentence, but this is something not uncommon in former stutterers. At the end of the day the "gaffe" doesn't call into question his mental acuity or decision making capabilities. Biden can understand complex subjects, listen to experts/advisers and understands their role. BUT he could also has a long history of outright lies. Even in Poland that god awful rant sounded like he was making real threats at  Putin. During a carefully crafted speech in Poland, Biden added a line that seemed to suggest he was calling for regime change in Russia — something Russian officials have accused the U.S. of attempting for years, despite U.S. denials. BUT the US Liberal media took it VARY SERIOUSLY .Biden has long been known for making odd, inappropriate or sometimes confusing extemporaneous remarks during public appearances, and the cleanup doesn’t necessarily undo the damage.

Hunter Biden's LAPTOP FROM HELL!

 


(1)>>The New York Times is still evil, but we're happy they finally admitted the  (1.2)>>Hunter Biden laptop story was true, which all thinking people who were paying attention knew a year ago.Who knows what the Times's motivation was to admit it at this point? Their history demonstrates they are propagandists with no interest in telling the American people the truth. So either they were forced to do this or they have some other motive, such as they want to swap out the dementia patient for someone who seems a little more competent, to help the struggling Dems in the polls.For 17 months, Joe Biden and his aides have ignored the Hunter Biden scandal. (2)>>The media has covered it up. Big Tech has censored the story. But you can’t hide from the truth forever. LOL they haven't "ignored" it... they have been actively burying it thru their media!It’s really astonishing how this White House won’t comment on Hunter’s laptop because he’s “a private citizen,” but they didn’t hesitate for a SECOND to demonize private citizens like Joe Rogan for saying things they didn’t like. Hunter’s laptop is the COVER UP of the century!!Oh man this is great it’s MAIN STREAM NEWS ! Can you just imagine the look on the pissed off screaming leftist faces right now ! U literally called people cultist and racist and every term in the book ! Just to find out that they were right the entire time !!!!!. YES AGAIN UKRAINE . (3)>>Hunter Biden served on the board of Burisma Holdings, an energy company in Ukraine. For a while, there have been generally unsubstantiated claims about the Bidens engaging in unethical behavior related to this company (e.g. allegedly getting a prosecutor fired so they couldn't bring a case against Burisma). For the past few weeks, the big news story has been the Russian invasion of Ukraine. (4)>>Since Hunter Biden has that direct connection to Ukraine and he's already a magnet for conspiracy theories, this has led additional spread of new and old claims about him. TRUE TRUE !!!! ! this is amazing !!!! AHAHAHAHAHA! Hunter Biden, who lives in Los Angeles, decides to fly 3000 miles across country (because we all know airfare was super cheap below $255 for round trip ticket there is no record of) to drop off 3 MacBook Pros at a computer repair shop run by a blind guy (whose security footage of the interaction was erased), who charges the insanely low price of $85 for data recovery (the average is $600). Hunter gets off the plane drunk, and drunk-drives to the repair shop in Wilmington desperate for service, because everyone knows there are no computer repair shops anywhere in LA.He staggers into the shop reeking of booze, drops them off, signs a contract for repair and then totally disappears, because he's so close to his easily-reachable dad that his dad is responsible for Hunter, but so not-close that his dad is unable to relay a message to Hunter that his computers are ready for pickup.The repair shop owner recovers the data but instead of doing what data recovery people normally do when computers are abandoned, which is wipe the data clean and sell the hardware, he reads literally thousands of (5)>>Hunter's *private* emails (half of which are probably the "Reply All" chains we hate) but a few of those thousands of emails MAY mention a possible meeting arrangement between his dad and some Ukrainian guy. (For what? it's not mentioned.)Repair Shop Guy is so alarmed that he contacts the FBI. The FBI arranges to pick up the hard drives, but Repair Shop Guy chooses to take the completely normal step of copying those drives. Once he realizes the FBI isn't doing anything with them (apparently they are not as technically savvy as blind guy) , he calls up the most credible ex-Mayor on Earth and hands him their contents.That totally credible ex-Mayor is also so alarmed by these emails that instead of immediately going public or talking to AG Barr's DOJ, he sits on them for months and then chooses to release them 3 weeks before the election all written up by Hannity's producer with info from Rudy Giuliani. When the responsible media then asks to independently verify their validity through a forensic analysis of the emails' metadata, but said ex-Mayor does what all normal people trying to prove facts and truth do, and chooses to totally ignore all of these requests and claims they are unavailable.Any other questions about Hunter's laptop?Now every single time I hear a leftist screech I’m gonna say but what about the hunter Biden lap top ! They are gonna just roll up in the fetal position and realize this entire time their decisions were influenced (6)>>and their votes were influenced to it’s literally 100% proof of a election fraud !!! This is gold !!



NOTES AND COMMENTS:  (1)>>The New York Times .The New York Times, have since authenticated portions of the laptop contents. But at the time, there were widespread concerns about the authenticity of the contents and how they were obtained, with some worrying that the material was hacked.The “revelations” from the New York Times that Hunter Biden’s laptop is real is all the more remarkable in highlighting the media’s lack of introspection (“All the News That’s Finally Fit to Print,” Review & Outlook, March 19).The media piously condemns Vladimir Putin’s falsely called  propaganda machine, and justifiably not so, yet it seems blind to how it has blocked reporting on Biden Inc. The quarantining of valid, important news stories by the media here borders on propaganda to influence a election outcome. (1.2)>>Hunter Biden laptop story . Of 1,000 US voters polled by Rasmussen Reports, 66% believe the laptop story is important and 48% percent say it is “very important,” according to the survey published. Most Americans not only believe the revelations about Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop are “important,” they also think President Biden had knowledge of — and may have made money from — his son’s foreign business deals, a new poll shows.Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is spearheading an effort to investigate 2020 censorship and suppression of news coverage about the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, previewing the kind of oversight House Republicans plan to engage in if they win back the House.(2)>>The media has covered it up. Big Tech has censored the story. I'm at least as concerned about that whole "...and then all social media companies, and almost all of the legacy news media companies, moved in lockstep to protect the Democrat presidential campaign by barring people from even discussing a story which turned out to be 100% true, and which 17% of voters say would have changed how they voted in 2020. The kickbacks are just run-of-the-mill, workaday political corruption. The other stuff is much, much worse for a functioning Republic.(3)>>Hunter Biden served on the board of Burisma Holdings. Hunter Biden started serving on Burisma's board in 2014. Joe Biden leveraged $1 billion in aid to persuade Ukraine to oust its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, in March 2016. But it wasn't because Shokin was investigating Burisma. It was because Shokin wasn't pursuing corruption among the country's politicians.Donald Trump tried to make issue out of Hunter’s business dealings in Ukraine, Russia and China, which included high paid consultancies and gifts, and allegations that, as vice-president, Joe Biden had shaped American foreign policy in Ukraine to benefit his son. For Trump, it backfired, when efforts to uncover information about the Bidens and Ukraine helped to trigger his first impeachment. Then came the surfacing of Hunter Biden’s missing laptop, with its library of decadent pictures and business email chains, mysteriously left at a Wilmington repair shop, which found its way to Republican political operatives including Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon, plus the rightwing press and the FBI.Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina, who has not been sanctioned, but who allegedly wired $3.5 million on Feb. 14, 2014, to a firm associated with Hunter’s former business partner Devon Archer. That wire was flagged in a suspicious activity report provided by the Treasury Department to a Senate Republican inquiry, chaired by Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson.Now, new evidence has emerged via the laptop showing that Baturina wired as much as $118 million to various offshoots of Rosemont Seneca Partners, the consulting firm co-founded by Hunter, Archer and John Kerry’s stepson, Chris Heinz. Evidence also exists showing that Joe Biden financially benefited from his then-drug-addicted son’s overseas business dealings — perhaps by several million dollars.(4)>>Since Hunter Biden has that direct connection to Ukraine and he's already a magnet for conspiracy theories. The conspiracy theory alleges that then-Vice President Biden withheld loan guarantees to pressure Ukraine into firing a prosecutor to prevent a corruption investigation into Burisma and to protect his son. The United States did withhold government aid to pressure Ukraine into removing the prosecutor, in accord with the official and bipartisan policy of the federal government of the United States. The US government, along with the European Union, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, believed the prosecutor to be corrupt and ineffective and too lenient in investigating companies and oligarchs, including Burisma and its owner.A January 2018 video shows Biden taking credit for withholding the loan guarantees to have the prosecutor fired, acting to implement bipartisan US policy rather than for the reasons the conspiracy theory alleges.(5)>>Hunter's *private* emails. Here is speculation , am sure that Biden's emails probably name Obama , Hillary , Pelosi . The emails’ alleged availability, which has not been previously reported, circulated in Ukraine which detail plans to remove Donald Trump from office starting in 2018 by using information obtained by Ukrainian spy's looking for dirt on Trump in Russia , by forging information damaging to Trump. Many questions have been raised about its sourcing , the emails published in the story are unverified, and more than 50 former intelligence officials have signed a letter stating their belief the story is part of a foreign disinformation campaign,  which actually was  part of a cover up of sorts to dismiss a possible coup. (6)>>and their votes were influenced to it’s literally 100% proof of a election fraud !!! This is gold !! Back in 2014 after a change of regime in Ukraine, Hunter Biden joined the board of a scandal-plagued Ukrainian natural gas company named Burisma. Hunter had no apparent qualifications for the job except that his father was the vice president and involved in the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy. AS MUCH AS WE KNOW that Ukrainian government officials later tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers. BUT Hunter's  hiring led to scrutiny in the media, including an Associated Press article that called Hunter’s hiring “politically awkward” because the Obama administration was looking to “influence the policies of Ukraine’s new government, especially on energy issues.” Hunter Biden resigned from the company in April 2019, while his father was running for president.The war in Ukraine sparked by the invasion by Russian forces has brought Hunter’s work with Burisma back into the limelight.

Zelenskyy's WAR propaganda at US Capital .



Zelensky asks U.S. Congress for no-fly zone, saying: "Remember Pearl Harbor? The terrible morning of Dec. 7, 1941, when your sky was black from the planes attacking you? Just remember it. Remember September 11, that terrible day in 2001 when evil tried to turn your cities into battlefields?"
It's vary suspicious that  Zelenskyy is at center stage 
saying that World War 3 has begun to news outlets.
Am sorry about the people of Ukraine ,but Zelensky
is trying to goad the west NATO into a war
with Russia .
**************************


War is evil , war is insane . I condemn Russia's methods of "intervention" also . BUT I also Condemn the US meddling in Ukraine that led to Putin's invasion , but I also condemn (1)>>Zelenskyy's WAR PROPAGANDA for sympathy for a (1.2)>>"no -fly zone" If you declare a no-fly zone you have to enforce it. If the US declares a no-fly zone over Ukraine, that means they move troops, planes, and anti-air artillery to Ukraine, and if a Russian plane enters Ukrainian airspace, then the US military shoots it down. Russia has already said they would consider this an act of war. The US is part of a large alliance called NATO. NATO has stated that an attack on any NATO country is an attack on the whole alliance. The fear is that Russia (and maybe her allies, perhaps China, but probably not) would go to war with… well, most of the developed world.Additionally, NATO would have to attack targets inside Russia to ensure their own planes aren't taking SAM fire from Russian air defence sites. SO IS ZELENSKYY CRAZY !?  A FEW WEEKS BEFORE RUSSIA INVADED . President Volodymyr Zelensky held an event on digital transformation which resembled something out of Apple founder Steve Jobs' playbook.Flashy graphics and cool suits framed a presentation which included a pledge to gift heavily discounted smartphones and a preferential tariff for the internet to every senior in Ukraine who is fully vaccinated.The event might have been timed to distract attention away from the current crisis, or maybe quite simply as a follow-up on a Zelensky election pledge to transform Ukraine into a "country in a smartphone." Whatever the reasoning, the smartphone announcement didn't give the impression Zelensky was keeping his eye on the most important ball right now, namely the largest military threat to Ukraine in modern history. Zelenskyy was prepping for war with Russia weeks before the Russians moved troops along the borders of Ukraine . With American weapons pouring in in droves since 2014 , Zelenskyy was building up has own propaganda for war . (2)>>Besides Zelenskyy made a joke about a Russian invasion . HE  had to clarify that he was kidding when he claimed a Russian invasion was coming on February 16. Though Russia’s foreign minister endorsed the idea of more diplomatic talks [ which the US Rebuffed over the NATO issue ] the country’s military continues to mass troops and sophisticated weaponry around Ukraine’s borders.U.S. announced it would temporarily close its Kyiv Embassy and move diplomats to the western city of L’viv — a move Zelensky had said would be a mistake. U.S. officials have identified Wednesday the 16th of February as a possible day Putin could strike, making Zelensky’s faux warning about that date even less clear & RUSSIA INVADED !

A Plot to start World War 3 . 
(3)>>World War III "may have already started," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said  in an interview with NBC News. The INSANITY exposing Zelensky is probably worse than Putin's . People have to wake up AND SMELL that something is FISHY about how this proxy war started at first glance. (4)>>Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “thug” and the Ukrainian government “evil” in a video obtained and published by North Carolina affiliate WRAL amid the ongoing Russian invasion."Remember that Zelenskyy is a thug," Cawthorn said in the recording. (5)>>"Remember that the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies."Cawthorn’s tweet contains a link to an article called “World War Reddit'' with the caption Propaganda is being used to entice America into another war. I do not want Americans dying because emotions pushed us into a conflict.” Zelensky called on Biden to "be the leader of the world" in a virtual address to Congress , invoking some of the U.S.'s darkest days in a plea for help. Well sounds like a Trap to me . Did anyone read what he said ? (6)>>He's making his war , America's war . The other crazy part is how the US is sending weapons for Zelenskyy to fight the Russians . Right now , lets cut out the Ukrainians . The war is really now  between the US and Russia. I'm on this. Zelenskyy knows the NFZ is not going to happen. For me is that he wants to make solid evidence that NATO countries or the West are not going to military assist Ukraine and they are practically alone on this. (6.1)>>I get his desperation, but ultimately, he is wrong on this. If this escalates to war between Russia and NATO, they will absolutely deploy tactical nuclear weapons, including and probably first in Ukraine. From there, the path of escalation to full scale nuclear war is short. The grim reality is that the west can funnel in all the weapons they want, but this war will have to be won on Ukrainian blood.The difference is that Pearl Harbor was pre-nukes and 9/11 was against an adversary who lacked nukes.A no fly zone would inevitably lead to conflict as we would be tested and required to enforce it. This would be the first direct military combat between two nuclear powers. Seems like a recipe for catastrophe, especially since one of those countries is lead by a (7)>>dictator who consistently escalates whenever challenged.I'm sure Zelensky knows this, but that's not going to stop him from doing what he thinks is in the best interest of his people. He doesn't have any reason to care about the big picture or nuclear war, because his country is in the process of being destroyed either way. He knows why NATO hasn't imposed a no-fly zone, but he gets to look good for his people and put pressure on his allies.If nothing else, it's going to make it a lot easier to have the (8)>>West continue justifying aid and arms shipments to Ukraine if it's the "better" alternative to direct war. (9)>>YES AVOIDING PEACE AT ALL COSTS . By continuing to make noise on the issue, Zelensky makes it easy for his allies to keep doing what they're doing without push-back at home.Adults are very much duped by propaganda, tf are you on about? I would say majority of adults believe whatever the news tells them…aka propaganda.



NOTES AND COMMENTS: (1.)>>Zelenskyy's WAR PROPAGANDA.Some of Ukraine’s official social media accounts have pushed stories of questionable veracity, like the heroic yet unverified account of the Ghost of Kyiv, a single pilot who single-handedly shot down several Russian fighter jets. Others have shared fake road signs with expletives aimed at Russians to boost morale. Government accounts have re-shared videos with digital effects that depict unreal explosions in Paris, France, in order to evoke emotion in the international community.Experts say that so far these instances seem largely indicative of a wartime battle to boost morale in a nation under siege by an outsized power that has been practicing the art of spreading disinformation for years. Yet digital fakes are also being debunked in real time, while real footage is verified by a cohort of trained investigators from newsrooms and volunteer organizations. (1.2)>>"no -fly zone" The NATO defense clause can only be invoked if the external aggressor attacks a NATO member over NATO soil, not some non-NATO state's land. So that article cannot be invoked. Just the way it couldn't be invoked when USA was fighting in Afghanistan or Syria. USA can still go in solo though. BUT UKRAINE is NOT PART OF NATO . No fly zone can only happen as a result of Russian aggression against a NATO-country to trigger Article 5 of NATO. Otherwise Putin might go haywire and it will end bad. (2)>>Besides Zelenskyy made a joke about a Russian invasion . This whole situation is so odd. According to the U.S. an invasion is imminent, but all the reporters on the ground in Ukraine say no one is worried at all. And then you have Zelensky, who seems like a very untrustworthy leader so who knows what's going on in his mind. Why on earth would he make that joke?Zelensky, last week: “Calm down, everyone, stop overreacting, war is not coming to Ukraine.”This week: “War on February 16th?  We will make it a holiday!  What? Oops, just kidding!”Somebody needs to adjust this guy’s meds…What Zelensky said is exactly the sort of satirical humor he earned his living with before he became president.  So I can't be too surprised that he said it, and I can't be too surprised that he still hadn't fully internalized how completely different his current job is from the one he had. Not that it was a good idea for him to say it, mind you.(3)>>World War III "may have already started," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky . AS Beauregard as Zelensky is , he is crazy. If NATO declared a no fly-zone or if we admitted Ukraine into NATO, it would likely be the US responsible for policing it. How would Russia respond to that? How would they react to another nuclear power declaring war on behalf of an ally?At what point of supplying weapons and economic sanctions, does Russia declare war? The headlines makes it sound as if Zelenskyy WANTS World War III, begging other nations to get so involved to "save his nation" that he expects to proclaim that Putin started World War III in the future. Zelenskyy's begging not just of the US but many other nations as well, sure has the ring of him wanting not just trying to protect his "democracy" (which isn't even as old as I am) but that he hopes it will escalate to World War III. It is one thing to ask a neighbor foreign power for aid; it is another basically going from country to country asking everyone for aid, trying to get every nation in the world involved in what amounts to a land-dispute.(4)>>Rep. Madison Cawthorn .Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) recently called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “thug” and said the Ukrainian government is “incredibly evil,” in remarks that are at odds with the broad bipartisan support for Ukraine among American lawmakers and the public amid Russia’s invasion.“Remember that Zelensky is a thug. Remember that the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt, and it is incredibly evil, and it has been pushing woke ideologies,” Cawthorn told supporters at a recent event in North Carolina, according to video published Thursday by Raleigh-based TV station WRAL.(5)>>"Remember that the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies."A comprehensive poll by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology at the end of 2015 showed the Ukrainian population was confused about corruption: many people believed it was getting worse, while ordinary citizens were also less inclined than in the past to give voluntary bribes. Transparency International’s most recent Corruption Perceptions Index ranks Ukraine 120th out of 182 countries, making it the second most corrupt country in Europe . Similarly, a recent Freedom House survey assesses the level of corruption in Ukraine today as only slightly better than at the height of the presidency of Viktor Yanukovych, who was toppled  in the Maidan revolution.EU officials have been urging Ukraine since 2014 to clamp down on corruption and to carry out other reforms.But critics say not enough has changed, and President Petro Poroshenko has been accused of backing corrupt officials.The Brussels talks with senior EU officials will focus on the progress of reforms, with the promise of visa-free travel for Ukrainians on the table.(6)>>He's making his war , America's war .  Zelensky has been using his newfound status as a Western media darling to put pressure on the Biden administration to escalate tensions with Russia by establishing a no-fly zone over Ukraine and providing it with advanced weapons.AS we know Ukrainian officials are trying to goad the US into war is because that’s exactly what they say they’re doing. There is no ambiguity here — at this very moment, a furious multi-front lobbying blitz is underway to solicit full-fledged US military intervention in Ukraine, and therefore open warfare against Russia. To put it bluntly, a foreign country’s representatives are doing all they possibly can to instigate the closest thing anyone on Earth has ever experienced to World War III.Unfortunately, if you actually examine the logic that’s operative here, your relief should quickly turn to dread. Zelensky is saying that NATO (or in other words, the US) has already been dragged into the war. World War III has already commenced, is what he’s saying. In which case, a “No Fly Zone” wouldn’t really be an escalation per se — it would just be a retaliatory strike in a war that’s already ongoing, whether we like it or not. (6.1)>>I get his desperation, but ultimately, he is wrong on this. Yes you'd think hes so desperate to stay in power . I CERTAINLY FEEL SORRY for the UKRAINIAN PEOPLE  who are caught between RUSSIA and the USA in a proxy war power struggle . I've never seen any action from there to know. But yeah... it all seems staged. Could be wrong, but it's a conspiracy theory.He needs to know whether NATO will ever accept Ukraine, even when war is over, so he can decide whether to give up NATO membership on the negotiating table. It is very possible that NATO would not have accepted Ukraine in say, 2013 either, even before any sort of conflict occurred out of fear of Russia. Or if the war magically ended tomorrow and there was peace and Ukraine rebuilt better than ever, there’s a high chance NATO may still not accept Ukraine if Russia reacts to an application by waving its nukes around again.(7)>>dictator who consistently escalates whenever challenged.I'm sure Zelensky knows this.  Zelensky knows the ropes of manipulation .He knows how suckered Americans are literally dragged into war . To ordinary Americans, Ukraine is just another Iraq waiting to happen. And as delicious as that sounds to State Department staffers still bearing a grudge over Crimea, the oft-heard consternation of the political Right—"Biden cares about Ukraine's borders more than America's!"—is becoming more common a refrain in the middle ground of American politics, and even sometimes on the Left.(8)>>West continue justifying aid and arms shipments to Ukraine. The recent 16 billion dollar aide to Ukraine approved by Congress is a example to keep the war going . It amazes me that the American political system is so inept to doing a dialog with the Russians on ending the war . Since January of this year , The State Department has given the go-ahead for three NATO allies to rush anti-armor missiles and other U.S.-made weapons to Ukraine, a sign of renewed urgency among Western allies over the threat of a multi-front invasion by Russian forces.The requests from Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania were received in recent weeks, and the last of the three was approved Wednesday after being received the night before The Biden administration will also begin the process of shipping $200 million worth anti-armor missiles, ammunition and other equipment to Ukraine in the coming days.(9)>>YES AVOIDING PEACE AT ALL COSTS .We can shift to a “just peace” framework. Rather than reacting to perceived threats by trying to one-up an adversary for the sake of “deterrence,” or identifying justifications for war, a just peace approach begins with identifying the root causes of a conflict, as well as the genuine needs of the adversaries. Neither side shows any sign of backing down or giving up. Direct negotiations between representatives of Moscow and Kyiv have yet to include the senior-level negotiators needed to conclude a deal. Neither those talks nor shuttle diplomacy by French, German, Israeli and Turkish leaders have revealed much moderation in Moscow’s stance or much overlap between Russian and Ukrainian positions. However, leaders in the United States and Russia, including Vladimir Putin and Mr. Biden, too often escalate conflict in Eastern Europe with military deployments, at times dehumanizing opponents and rallying their populations for “just wars.” This is the time for creative thinking to avoid a humanitarian and environmental catastrophe.

America's Gas fuel shortage ( coming) ?




NOW here is what is ahead . Gas shortages in the
US & Gas approaching 10 dollars a
gallon . 

What I WARNED in 2019 :I wrote parts of this between 2015 and 2019 . Its about our gas prices . I warned that gas prices would go over 8 dollars $$$. Yes did I write about gas shortage in 2023 ?  Well we are approaching [ have approached] the 5 dollar mark [and beyond]   in gas prices in some parts of (0)>>California. Certainly California has created a gasoline island by its anti-pollution rules. I don’t question that. When it comes to fuel , Californians are overtaxed and suckered into raising gas taxes. We all have been told that it's   (1.1)>>because of supply and demand issues , Oil company executives admit the supply shortages to which they frequently expose California are highly profitable.Normally, the price differential between California and the U.S. would return to around 30-40 cents per gallon. But not likely anymore .  (1.2)>>This BIGGEST LIE we are told is that there is a "special blend" of gas that is a Summer blend and a Winter blend . I believe its BULLSHIT! Sorry for the bad language , the cuss word , but I have not heard any Consumer Watchdog group jumping to  (1.3)>>REALLY INVESTIGATE if there has been any changes of gasoline formula  during the seasons to verify that there is a defence between the gas formula's to justify the high gas prices . California raised GAS TAXES thanks to Gov. Brown without the vote of Californians   (2)>>TO REPEAT WHAT I SAID he added a tax to an already existing tax on fuel .  Outside factors also play their part in our gas scams , perhaps OPEC  like (2.2)>>the oil sanctions against Iran which oil prices jumped 28 % in a matter of hours , but nothing explains why crazy prices for gasoline out here in California, they’re nearing $5. To be sure, those prices are outliers, economists say, and California is the country’s most expensive gasoline market, due to taxes, other costs, and environmental regulations.Also there is a shortage of new refineries, no refineries have been built in CA for five decades, which is curious as I was saying for such a large state that needs to meet the supply and demand with the different blends . This altogether furthers the notion that some kind of hoax is going on a state (3)>>level bureaucracy . Experts predict prices won’t be coming down anytime soon. California’s gas tax goes up again effective July 1I'm 100% convinced that gas station owners in my conservative town  (4)>>purposefully jack up the pricesbecause they canIf you're not for high gas prices you want people to be killed and you're unpatriotic.  The Wall Street Journal had an interesting opinion piece about (4.1)>> "who get's Rich off the Price of Gas" .  I have noticed that Gas prices here in (5)>>California have remained over the national average .  Yes , it's all about taxes rather than supply and demand. Here is my low down on the profits.  The federal gas tax is 18.4 cents on every gallon of gasoline sold in America.  ***State gas-tax rates vary from a low of eight cents per gallon in Alaska to a jarring 49 cents per gallon in New York. Other states where it's steep to fill up include California and Connecticut—each with 48.6-cent-per-gallon gas taxes—and Hawaii, at 47.1 cents per gallon.Some local governments have gotten in on the act, too. In California, local sales and excise taxes on gasoline average 3.1%, according to the Los Angeles Times.   According to the Washington Times.The Joke is  Gas prices are so high that even Priuses are looking attractive If gas is double the price today than it was yesterday, you may decide to only buy a little gas in hopes that the price will return to normal soon, leaving more for others. According to a contemporary poll, the most commonly forgotten line of the theme song is “Through the courtesy of Fred’s two feet.” Which incidentally is how I’ll now be traveling. Or you may decide to delay gassing up, which means fewer lines Second, if consumers pay more for every gallon of gas, producers can justify spending more to hire more drivers to transport gasoline to the station, for example. Or, they can buy gas from neighboring states that aren’t suffering from the shortage and pay the higher transport costs. The higher price consumers pay makes these decisions worth it. On the other hand, when prices don’t rise, there is no incentive for a consumer at the pump to conserve gas for others. That leads to politicians resorting to moral suasion to get consumers to stop pumping. Funny story: The people that plotted to kill the governor are from my town. (6)>>So yes, the "Biden: I did that!" stickers are on our gas pumps.
It's NOT PUTIN'S FAULT !
Even before Russia started surrounding Ukraine,  (7)>>rising gas prices were affected by  Biden energy policy or action.Where in hell are the government agencies that are supposed to protect us from this BS? Oh wait. The government itself benefits from this in the form of higher tax revenue. And don't hold your breath waiting for the Harper Government (tm) to take a stand against big oil. Americans must understand that this is no accident. It’s the result of European climate policies just like those that Democrats want to force on Americans, substituting unreliable and costly renewable energy for oil and gas. It is the continent’s adoption of a (8)>>Green New Deal-like agenda – banning fracking, subsidizing wind and solar, etc. – that has made Europe dependent on a hostile nation to power their economies.  So I did some research, in 2020 the average price to fill up the tank was almost $40. You will also see it did drop a bit under Trump, when the country was shut down and no one was buying gas. That problem was fixed which lead to an increase in cost, which isn't bad for a worldwide pandemic, our failure to handle said pandemic, global supply chain issues, and global inflation....plus now a war in Europe.But as reluctant as he was to ban (9)>>Russian oil, it took Biden no time at all to start blaming Russia for rising gasoline prices. “Since [Russian President Vladimir] Putin began his military buildup at Ukrainian borders . . . the price of gas at the pump in America went up 75 cents,” Biden said in his announcement of the oil ban. When asked what he could do about rising prices, he replied, “Can’t do much right now. Russia is responsible.” The White House even came up with a slogan — “Putin price hike” — and tried to make it trend as a hashtag. “This is the #PutinPriceHike in action,” White House communications director Kate Bedingfield tweeted. Meanwhile, the Biden administration was busy changing its narrative about high gas prices. After promising a couple of weeks ago to “work like the devil” to address rising gas prices, (10)>>Biden himself said he “can’t do much right now” because “Russia is responsible” as he arrived in Fort Worth, Texas for an event.

NOTES AND COMMENTS:
(0)>>California. A bit of history of California gas tax, was: 27.8 cents/gallon 11/1/2017: 39.8 cents/gallon 7/1/2019: 47.3 cents/gallon, 1/1/2020: annual increases based on the inflation rate California diesel tax, was: 10.19% sales tax, plus 16 cents/gallon 11/1/2017: 14.19% sales tax, plus 36 cents/gallon, 1/1/2020: annual increases based on the inflation rate. (1.1)>>because of supply and demand issues.  It is embarassing to watch an oil company executive on television try to explain the reasons for a spike in gas prices. It reminds me of the guys outside of the subway entrances in New York City playing "three card Monte" asking the spectators "where is the queen?". Just a total grift on the driving public is all. They have no shame and the real joke is that they think this is all a plausible explanation and we believe them. So sad. Isn't it amazing how often these outages seem to happen and how gas prices spike immediately, before the effect of shortages can actually occur? Oil company and tobacco company execs are professional liars. Don’t be embarrassed for them. They know they are lying and are happy to make people think they have no alternatives to gasoline.  AND AS mysterious refinery outages right on time as they seem to be every year. Just as scheduled.  (1.2)>>This BIGGEST LIE. What the crock is this? Every year we always here the same thing. Prepare for high prices at the pump for the summer season. This usually extends well into August citing late summer vacation travel as the culprit. But lookie here a sudden reversal calling the season immediately after July 4. (1.3)>>REALLY INVESTIGATE.   I have a bold theory here , I don't believe that WE are being sold two different types of fuel.First place there are not enough fuel refineries in the state to switch between blends of gas each season for each statewide gasoline station [ Exxon , Arco, Union76 and Shell to name a few] so this seasonal blend of fuel is vary slow to transport. Another observation is that a local gas station let say its May , its time to switch to the summer blend of gas still has its station tanks filled with a winter blend of gas ,  EVEN through its summer that station gouges its price per gallon , while still selling to the California Consumer a winter blend of gas while its  SUPPOSED to be selling a summer blend. (2)>>TO REPEAT WHAT I SAID. What happened? I thought if we approve taxes that they will only take what they need? Well, at least the roads and schools will get better like the last tax hike. I mean, look at them now! Only potholes that are 1 foot deep, and the kids can almost read now.The high price of fuel is due to California’s taxes on gas and diesel. The price of crude has gone up in the past few months driving the price of gas slightly. It drives me crazy when everyone blames the refineries for the price of gas. Look up how much the feds and the state, and county, are taxing gasoline. Its all available online. Fuel prices are pretty consistent across the country. It all comes down taxes in California its state sponsored gouging of gas to funnel money into other dark projects , not fixing roads !(2.2)>>the oil sanctions against Iran.  Iran is a massive player in the oil market. It’s the world’s fourth largest producer of oil, pumping five million barrels a day or about 5.4% of global supply, according to data compiled by oil giant BP BP, -0.36% Cutting off some or all of that would have an out-sized effect on prices because the markets are so finely balanced between supply and demand, say economists. (3)>>level bureaucracy . Here's something Newsom could do for CA citizens instead of jetting down to El Salvador for a meet and greet with the future democratic voters, how about finding out why these refineries schedule their maintenance at the same time? They can't make a phone call to each other and come up with a plan to stagger the shutdowns so CA citizens can have a stable supply of gasoline? Wow, how many more times will big oil get away with scam before someone who is in power (Gavin) does something about it?  (4)>>purposefully jack up the prices.   Drivers are experiencing the 'Golden State Gouge' as gas prices soar in California.While this “Putin spike” talking point is half-true, it ignores the reality that oil and gasoline prices have risen steadily throughout the Biden administration. The average price for gas at the pump was $2.11 on the day Biden was elected and markets began pricing in his promises to restrict and ultimately diminish the domestic oil and gas industry. It stood at $2.29 on the day he took office and rescinded the federal cross-border permit for the Keystone XL pipeline. Had he not done that, that major pipeline would be complete by now and moving far more Canadian crude into the U.S. than had been coming in from Russia.(4.1)>> "who get's Rich off the Price of Gas" .  You may blame high gas prices on rich oil company executives or greedy gas station owners. The truth is that governments rake in a larger profit at the pump than anyone—and with gas taxes on the rise in many parts of the country, there's no relief in sight.The price of a gallon of gas is based on the combination of four costs: that of crude oil, of refining gas, of distribution and marketing, and of taxes.Some local governments have gotten in on the act, too. In California, local sales and excise taxes on gasoline average 3.1%, according to the Los Angeles Times. That works out to about 12 cents in local taxes for each gallon of gas, based on the state's current average of $3.80 per gallon.(5)>>California have remained over the national average . California gas prices are the highest in the nation . Northstate Congressman John Garamendi is calling for an investigation into potential price gouging by oil companies as gas prices continue to rise in California. This is one of many potential solutions legislators have come up with to solve the rising issue. It comes after the California Assembly had turned away a potential suspension of the 51-cents per gallon statewide Gas Tax this week. "With the Gas Tax, if we suspended it, it absolutely would be passed down to the consumer," said California Assembly Republican leader James Gallagher when asked if he thought the proposed gas tax suspension was the right solution to lowering gas prices for the consumer.A public watchdog group is now calling on the Attorney General's Office to investigate our state's oil refineries.This public advocacy group believes that what we pay now is about $1.30 more than what we should be paying. They are asking for an anti-trust investigation to be conducted. California Republicans made a push for suspending the 51-cent per gallon gas tax in an effort to give relief to drivers it failed obvious as we would suspect who profits off the price gouging the Government.(6)>>So yes, the "Biden: I did that!" stickers are on our gas pumps. I think the Biden sticker is funny. If I saw this sticker next to it, it'd be 10x as funny. Do it. Biden's baffling illiteracy on economics is also compounding the issue.Stickers of a finger-pointing Biden with the words “I did that!” have been appearing on fuel pumps across the country,Shouldn't we be more concerned with, instead of lol w did it first stickers, forcing the hand of those in power and leadership to make this country ACTUALLY improve? instead of both parties just spewing nonsensical, radicalized bullshit that they never follow through on but then somehow the supporters of both parties talk about how stupid the other party is.(7)>>rising gas prices were affected by  Biden energy policy . Asked why oil production in the U.S. had not yet caught up to demand, the acting administrator of the Energy Information Administration—the Department of Energy’s data arm—explained to senators that American producers were “trying to reposition for the long term. To state it more bluntly, the Biden administration and its allies in Congress have made it very clear that they intend to put the oil industry in America out of business. What does it look like to “work together” with an administration that promised “to get rid of fossil fuels” and advised that oil company executives be “thrown in jail”?The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s International Energy Outlook projects no scenario in which global demand for oil does not increase through at least 2050. But the Biden administration seems determined that none of that oil will be produced in the United States.(8)>>Green New Deal-like agenda .  Hidden taxes in gas prices ? Perhaps blame the NEW GREEN DEAL .  Many of the Democrats running for President in 2020 support the Green New Deal that was introduced by Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Senator Markey of Massachusetts. The Green New Deal, however, would require a $10 tax increase on a single gallon of gas, according to a study by the CO2 Coalition. Key to the Green New Deal is the goal of eliminating gasoline-powered vehicles in favor of electric vehicles. But in order to make electric cars desirable to consumers gasoline prices would have to increase to $13 per gallon. Such a tax would undoubtedly harm consumers and the U.S. economy.  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez unveiled her Green New Deal to great fanfare and media hype. The plan calls for a “massive transformation” of the U.S. economy by moving away from fossil fuels to “100% clean and renewable” energy in ten years, while creating more jobs and health care for all (among much else).Harris urged Americans struggling to afford skyrocketing prices for fuel, groceries and all other consumer goods to delight in her vision of a beautiful green future. “Imagine a future: the freight trucks that deliver bread and milk to our grocery store shelves and the buses that take children to school and parents to work,” she said. “Imagine all the heavy-duty vehicles that keep our supply lines strong and allow our economy to grow. Imagine that they produce zero emissions.”  “It’s Not Russia (they supply just 3% of our oil.),”“It’s’ not the oil companies, It Is the GREEN NEW DEAL regulations. They are lying to us…”   (9)>>Russian oil.  In the US, Russian oil made up about 3 percent of shipments in 2021, according to Bloomberg, and when you include other petroleum products, that rises to 8 percent. That’s not a ton, but it’s not nothing, either.Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Monday that if the United States and the European Union banned oil imports from Russia, international oil prices could climb to more than $300 a barrel. "It is clear that rejecting Russian oil will have disastrous consequences for the global market and harm the interests of consumers," Novak said in a video statement broadcast on state television "The surge in oil prices will be unpredictable. If not too high, it will reach $300 a barrel." Novak said that it will take Europe more than a year to replace Russian oil, and it will have to pay a much higher price than Russian oil. (10)>>Biden himself said he “can’t do much right now”.  President Joe Biden is looking for every excuse to ignore the powers he has but refuses to use to help bring prices down.“Can’t do much right now,” he told reporters. “Russia is responsible.”He accused oil companies of exercising “excessive price increases or padding profits” and exploiting American consumers.  “They’re gonna go up,” Biden said of gas prices after landing for a visit in Fort Worth, Texas. The average price of a gallon of gas hit a 14-year high of $4.009 on Sunday, according to AAA.But the trends are clear. After gas prices crashed following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, they stabilized around $2.20 through 2020.From the beginning of 2021 through the middle of May of that year, prices spiked from $2.25 to over $3.00. From there, gas prices rose steadily hitting $3.40 in mid-November, dipping slightly as the country dealt with the Omicron variant, only to continue upward for most of 2022.All that occurred before Russia invaded Ukraine. The president has only himself and his opposition to domestic energy production to blame.
