Until America understands that a free press is not a censored press we will continue to be deceived by the Deep State press on virtually every subject. In no area, other than the validity of the presidential election of 2020, have we been more deceived than on Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelensky is not a freedom fighter but a tyrant no better than Vladimir Putin. He has outlawed all opposing political parties and presses.
Ukraine was taken over by the Deep State (Secret Combinations) in 2014-2015 and Zelensky was installed by Barack Obama and Joe Biden. He is supported by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Deep State world wide, including the Biden Administration. All of these want war to cover their crimes, the WEF wants depopulation. This is common knowledge for those who have escaped the censored press. Without a free press America should be neutral on Ukraine. Neither Zelensky or Putin are honorable dictators but unfortunately Biden appears to be poking the bear—Russia—for nuclear war starting in Ukraine?”
We observe that the United States is decidedly the lead funder of the war against Russia. The war would have been over months ago were it not for this funding. “From January 24 to November 20, 2022 the United States provided around 47.8 billion euros in bilateral financial, humanitarian, and military aid to Ukraine in view of the Russian invasion that started February 2022.” The second lead funder of the war is the European Union (EU) “at approximently 35 billion euros.” Comparably all other countries are insignificant contributors (Statista. “Total bilateral aid commitments to Ukraine between January 24 and November 20, 2022 by type and country or organization,” Statista Research Department, Jan. 2023). That total was upped in early January 2023 by another gift of $3.1 billion from the Biden Administration bringing the total to $50.9 billion (Yahoo! News, “US military spending in Ukraine reached nearly $50 billion in 2022…,” Monica Duffy Toft, January 18, 2023).
As the principle funder of the war against Russia, the United States has effectively started a proxy war with Russia, as has NATO through the contributions of the European Union. World War III is just one button push away. It will be up to Russia to determine when they have been provoked enough and they have no other option. Would the U.S. not respond similarly were we in their place? “The U.S. has not formally declared war on Russia, but the battlefield in Ukraine serves as a classic case of a proxy war, waged without a formal declaration” (Ibid.).
About half of the $50 billion given to Ukraine thus far $24.9 billion “went toward military spending. By comparison, U.S. military aid to Israel – a longtime top recipient of U.S. military aid – in 2020 was $3.8 billion (Ibid.). Ukraine gets over six times as much. The Kremlin may conclude that they could have finished the war in their favor months ago without this funding and that we are their real enemy.
A second major poke of the bear happened September 26, 2022, when Russia’s two Nord Stream natural gas pipelines in the Black Sea were severed by explosives leaving Europe, especially Germany, facing an approaching winter with a critical—even life threatening—fuel shortage. Russia accused us and we them of blowing the lines.
The Biden Administration had threatened to take the Without a free press America should be neutral on Ukraine. Neither Zelensky or Putin are honorable dictators but unfortunately Biden appears to be poking the bear—Russia—for nuclear war starting in Ukraine?” out. Department of State Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said, “If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.” AND, ABC News quotes President Biden as having said, “If Russia invades…then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.” Reporter: “But how will you do that, exactly, since…the project is in Germany’s control?” Biden: “I promise you, we will be able to do that.” Only the United States had the necessary technology, motive, and opportunity. (“The Predicted ‘Scare Event’ Likely War with Russia” LibertyUnderFire, By Harold Pease, Ph.D., October 2022)!!!
If the U.S. took them out it was an act of war. If Russia wanted war with the United States it would have happened then. Their restraint was why it did not. Russia’s first targets in Ukraine were America’s 14 installed bio weapons labs near the Russian border threatening Russia.
The third major poke of the bear goes far beyond financing the war, even beyond providing the guns and ammunition for the war. We are now inviting Ukrainian forces to train on an Air Force system in the U.S.. “The training will prepare approximately 90 to 100 Ukrainian soldiers to operate, maintain and sustain the defensive system over a training course expected to last several months.” We also announced in January 2023 that we are “sending a range of armored military vehicles to Ukraine.” (Yahoo! News, “US military spending in Ukraine reached nearly $50 billion in 2022…” Monica Duffy Toft, January 18, 2023). These include 90 Stryker armored personnel carriers, 59 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, and anti-aircraft systems. (“Despite Ukraine’s pleas…,” by Tom Vanden Brook, USA Today, January 20, 2023). So it is no surprise when Biden announced in January that we will now send 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. Biden has clearly declared war on Russia.
Donald Trump said it best. “FIRST COME THE TANKS, THEN COME THE NUKES.” Is Biden Poking the Bear for Nuclear War? With certainty!! But if you are still hooked on Deep State controlled media you will think Putin started the war, Zelinsky is a hero, and his cause just. War with Russia is the scare event we told you about last October. Will the Deep State (secret combinations) get Russia to retaliate with nukes? No!! Perhaps on the Deep State media outlets. But sooner or later the bear gets tired of being poked.
