And it’s very bad for America.
There are so many complex reasons for Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine. And so many outcomes yet to be determined — sadly, all of them bad for the USA.
[..]
But there’s also a shocking bonus to all of this that no one else is talking about.
I believe Putin is sick and tired of hearing Biden and America’s politicians lecture him about “Russia’s corruption.” Putin knows Biden is filthy and dirty. Putin knows the Biden crime family has taken kickbacks and payoffs all over the world. He knows Biden is “the Big Guy” who expects a piece of every deal. Biden lecturing others about corruption is like the Mafia lecturing about extortion.
Putin knows the center of Biden’s corruption was in Ukraine. Biden and his family intimidated, extorted and assaulted Ukraine. A little birdie tells me this is the big bonus for Putin after he invades and conquers Ukraine. He will capture and torture everyone involved in shady deals with Biden in order to unearth the secrets of Biden’s filthy corruption.
Then Putin has two juicy options. Behind door No. 1: Expose Biden’s massive crime wave in Ukraine, shock the world, make Biden step down, embarrass and demoralize the United States and paralyze America’s government. This makes Russia the new big, bad sheriff in town.
Behind door No. 2: Putin can blackmail Biden and hold his secrets over his head in order to get whatever Putin wants. Suddenly Biden is Putin’s flunky: the same relationship China already has with Biden. China has the goods on Biden. They clearly own Biden lock, stock and barrel. Now it’s Putin’s turn.
Lastly, one more bad thing that will almost certainly come out of this. Just like my high school days, when bullies sense weakness, they immediately attack. China is watching closely. If Putin takes Ukraine, outplays and humiliates Biden, China will absolutely invade Taiwan.
We are watching history unfold. Tragically, all of it is bad for America. Don’t you wish Trump were back in the White House? Unfortunately, tragically, this is proof that rigged elections produce bad consequences.
Hi, Reader. You said,
I don’t think he’s counting on that; but I do think he fears NATO will do that to him, if they get control of the Ukraine. The Book of Zechariah presents a scenario like the one you mentioned:
Zech. 14
…[6] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
[7] But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light…
[12] And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
[13] And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
Wars NEVER go the way intended by those who start them; and WWI shows us that seemingly insignificant events (like the assasination of the Archduke) can lead to catastrophic results.
Not just Joe and family!
Clintons, Kerry and many Dinos and Rinos must have gotten juicy deals.
That is why I hope to see a new book from Peter Schweizer.
@Michael S
Apparently “Putin” thought that a repeat of June 22, 1941 would be worse than hitting first and preventing NATO from occupying Ukraine.
Besides, if NATO decides to respond, it won’t be a conventional war.
If Russia has to go, it will take the whole planet together with it.
The official Russian rationale is this:
