Russian Soldier Reportedly Runs Over Commander With Tank After ‘Deaths Of His Friends’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Russian soldier reportedly drove over his colonel with a tank — while two other service members were caught venting about strongman Vladimir Putin’s “bulls—” invasion of Ukraine amid reports of heavy losses.

The Russian soldier who was behind the wheel of the tank “blamed the commander of the group, Col. Yury Medvedev, for the deaths of his friends,” Ukrainian journalist Roman Tsimbalyuk said on Facebook.

“Having waited for the right moment, during battle, he ran over the commander with a tank as he stood next to him, injuring both his legs,” he wrote, the Daily Beast reported.

“Now Col. Medvedev is in a hospital in Belarus, waiting for monetary compensation for combat wounds received during the ‘special military operation to protect the Donbass.’ Colonel Medvedev was awarded the Order of Courage,” he wrote.

Although there was no independent corroboration of the claim, footage released by Chechen leader and close Putin ally Ramzan Kadyrov showed Medvedev being transported to a hospital. (Read more from “Russian Soldier Reportedly Runs Over Commander With Tank After ‘Deaths Of His Friends'” HERE)

These Biden Actions Drove Gas Prices to Historic Highs

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .[I]t’s not as simple or as nefarious — at least not on the part of oil and gas companies — as the Biden administration would like you to believe. And now, thanks to Rep. Jim Banks’ (R-IN) team at the Republican Study Committee, there are a lot more examples — 81, to be exact — of Biden’s actions that led to consistently rising gas prices since he took office. . .

On January 20, 2021, Biden signed an executive order directing the federal government to review and rescind President Trump’s policies that made the United States energy independent. Biden’s first actions also included increasing emissions regulations and restricting domestic energy. And, of course, he killed the Keystone XL Pipeline. The average price for a gallon of gas: $2.379.

Through his first months in office, Biden continued taking actions that cut off America’s rich fossil fuels and artificially incentivized alternative energy sources. There was another executive order focused on enforcing “environmental justice.” A decision to double the amount of wind energy on federal lands. A moratorium on oil and gas leases. And Biden put the United States back into the Paris Climate agreement. By mid-April in Biden’s first year, the national average for a gallon of gas had risen to $2.855.

Summer 2021 saw more anti-fossil fuel actions from the Biden administration, including a Department of Justice “Climate Action Plan” and a Department of Energy determination to ramp up regulations that would direct buildings away from using fossil fuel energy sources. By September, the national average for gas had reached $3.176.

The Biden administration continued through the fall to rescind or revoke President Trump’s actions and policies that had incentivized American energy and promoted safe, clean drilling and production to make the United States an energy-independent country. More “climate action plans” from federal agencies were released that further regulated and disincentivized reliable American energy. The Biden administration went after financial institutions to urge them not to do business with fossil fuel companies, required federal properties and contractors to move away from oil and gas, and went all-in on falsely-named “green” energy instead.

Ukraine: Blundering Toward Apocalypse?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Having an open mind on the Ukraine situation earned me some gratuitous insults last week. Seems Putin (aka “Putrid”) is “exactly like Adolph Hitler” (which somehow means he wants to conquer Europe and put the communist Soviet Union & Eastern Block back together). And I am “exactly like Neville Chamberlain, willing to sell out your fellow man’s freedom for peace in our time.” An otherwise reasonable person wrote that. Guess I missed “Putrid” murdering millions in death camps. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Zelensky, aka Mr. Freedom, who has actual Nazi battalions in his army, banned a dozen dissident political parties and two TV stations.

The vibe around the Ukraine situation feels a lot like the vibe leading up to the invasion of Iraq. Dictator Saddam was portrayed as a middle-east Adolph Hitler, murdering babies, grave threat to the USA etc. We were lied to about the WMDs and alleged terror training camps. None existed. In fact, Saddam had Christians in his cabinet and was standing on the necks of the Jihadis, who were a threat to his rule. If he’d had WMDs he would’ve used them. Nothing to lose once the invasion started. Thanks to the Bush administration’s lies, over 6,000 American warriors died for nothing, 60,000 maimed, probably $10 Trillion wasted-stolen-pocketed, over $100,000 from each taxpaying American. Our invasion of Iraq caused vastly more death and destruction than Saddam ever did or ever would have. And hundreds of thousands of Christians were displaced, many of whom had their heads displaced, Christian communities destroyed that had survived for 2000 years in Iraq.

Back then, for questioning the Iraq invasion and subsequent corrupt “nationbuilding” quagmire, I was lumped in as “You, Dan Rather, Jane Fonda, and Tom Brokoff (sic).”

Once again, those who would save America First as a priority, who question the USA nannying the world while our country and economy are destroyed from within and invaded from without, are called disloyal, dismissed for being reticent to threaten and confront Russia over Ukraine, the assumption being that Russia’s nuclear capability is a bluff.

What if it’s not a bluff? What’s the cost to humanity? Our leaders have been very wrong about the thinking of nuclear powers in the past. See Catastrophic thinking on nuclear weapons, by Dominic Cummings, 3-18-2022[.]

Some conservatives (and all neo”conservatives”) say “we” should confront Putin. But “we” is the same Obama-Biden-Harris-Milley-Vanilli team they correctly ream for the disastrous Afghan withdrawal that left $80 billion in weapons for the terror sponsors we supposedly went in to oust 20 years ago, achieving nothing but another 6,000 dead and 60,000 maimed Americans and more trillions wasted-stolen-pocketed. Neo”cons” actually trust these clowns to confront a nuclear power in wartime as a co-belligerent without getting us all killed. And they call you a traitor if you question it. See Biden’s Reckless Words Underscore the Dangers of the U.S.’s Use of Ukraine As a Proxy War, by Glenn Greenwald, 3-27-2022[.]

The tens of trillions of dollars squandered by big government in wars, “nationbuilding”, lockdowns, vaccine mandates, blocking oil production, destroying small businesses, and paying people people not to work is the cause of the current inflation and $6 gasoline, crushing the middle & lower income classes.

It’s abundantly clear Obama-Biden-Harris-Clinton and their neo”con” allies provoked Russia’s invasion with their 2014 Ukrainian coup d’etat, threatening to put Ukraine in NATO, running bio-weapon labs in Ukraine etc. See Oliver Stone’s documentaries and any number of articles, including:

Professor John Mearsheimer Explains Who Is Responsible for the Ukraine-Russia Crisis

If our warmongers wanted to allow it, the crisis could still be ended by letting Ukraine become a neutral non-NATO country. Their goal is to sacrifice Ukraine as a tool for Russian regime change, further threatening Putin. And the sanctions are just as likely to exacerbate the war as end it. See Reporting from Moscow: Sanctions May Achieve the Opposite of Biden’s Stated Long-Term Goals, by Dimitri Simes Jr., 3-27-2022[.]

Finally, our “cheap labor” ruling elites are using the Ukraine crisis they provoked as an excuse to import millions of Ukrainian “refugees” even though Europe has already offered to take them all, thereby accelerating the already crushing hikes in our cost of land, gasoline, and “housing”.

Newsweek: Russia is Avoiding Civilian Targets, Used Far Less Total Ordinance than U.S. Did in One Day in Iraq

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Russia’s conduct in the brutal war tells a different story than the widely accepted view that Vladimir Putin is intent on demolishing Ukraine and inflicting maximum civilian damage—and it reveals the Russian leader’s strategic balancing act. If Russia were more intentionally destructive, the clamoring for U.S. and NATO intervention would be louder. And if Russia were all-in, Putin might find himself with no way out. Instead, his goal is to take enough territory on the ground to have something to negotiate with, while putting the government of Ukraine in a position where they have to negotiate. . .

In nearly a month since Russia invaded, dozens of Ukrainian cities and towns have fallen, and the fight over the country’s largest cities continues. United Nations human rights specialists say that some 900 civilians have died in the fighting (U.S. intelligence puts that number at least five times UN estimates). About 6.5 million Ukrainians have also become internally displaced (15 percent of the entire population), half of them leaving the country to find safety. . .

But, the analyst says, the damage associated with a contested ground war involving peer opponents shouldn’t blind people to what is really happening. (The analyst requested anonymity in order to speak about classified matters.) “The heart of Kyiv has barely been touched. And almost all of the long-range strikes have been aimed at military targets.”

.. .In the analyst’s view, though the war has led to unprecedented destruction in the south and east, the Russian military has actually been showing restraint in its long-range attacks.

As of the past weekend, in 24 days of conflict, Russia has flown some 1,400 strike sorties and delivered almost 1,000 missiles (by contrast, the United States flew more sorties and delivered more weapons in the first day of the 2003 Iraq war). The vast majority of the airstrikes are over the battlefield, with Russian aircraft providing “close air support” to ground forces. The remainder—less than 20 percent, according to U.S. experts—has been aimed at military airfields, barracks and supporting depots. (Read more about Russia avoiding civilian targets HERE)

Reports: Joe Biden’s Call for Regime Change in Russia Not Part of Prepared Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House confirmed Sunday that President Joe Biden’s call for regime change was not part of his prepared speech.

“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden said at the conclusion of his speech, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Biden’s quip prompted administration officials to scramble and walk back his comment in an effort to reassure the world that the United States was not calling for regime change in Russia.

Axios cites “a top official” who confirmed the line was not on Biden’s prepared text or on his teleprompter. The Washington Post cited “a person familiar with the speech” who also said Biden’s line was not planned.

During the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden repeatedly campaigned on the idea that he would be a better president than President Donald Trump because of his understanding of the gravity of the presidency.

WATCH: Intense Video Reportedly Shows Americans Fighting In Ukraine; US Selective Service Tweets “In The Event Of A Draft” Message

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A viral video blowing up on Twitter reportedly shows armed Americans fighting in Ukraine against the Russians.

According to the news agency NEXTA, the video shows multiple armed Americans fighting somewhere near Kyiv. The men are all wearing camo combat gear and clearly armed with rifles as a fire rages in the background.

A man is also clearly speaking English talking about how a couple men were shot during an exchange. Seeing as how President Biden has ruled out American troops on the ground, these would have to be American volunteers. You can watch the crazy video below.

Another day goes by and we have another video of absolutely insane stuff going down in Ukraine. At this point, you’d have to be living with your head in the sand to be surprised by what’s going on over there.

We’ve seen drone strikes, helicopters get taken down, gun battles and much more. Now, we reportedly have a video of Americans on the ground putting in work. (Read more from “Intense Video Reportedly Shows Americans Fighting In Ukraine” HERE)

Biden Warns Americans A Food Shortage Is Coming (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Speaking to reporters at NATO headquarters in Brussels Thursday afternoon, President Joe Biden warned Americans a food shortage is coming. Citing the war being waged by Russia and Ukraine, in addition to sanctions imposed by the west, Biden said warnings about fertilizer and wheat scarcity are real.

“We did talk about food shortages. It’s going to be real. The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia. It’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well including European countries and our country as well,” Biden said. . .

Farmers and truckers in the United States have been sounding the alarm about the pending crisis.

Here’s Why Russian Forces Can’t Take The Ukrainian Capital Of Kyiv (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

When the Conservative Political Action Committee kicked off in late February, so did Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It seemed by the time the conference ended; Russian troops would be in firm command of the country. The Ukrainian capital of Kyiv was projected to fall within days of the invasion. Retired Gen. Jack Keane, a regular on Fox News, did say that the Ukrainians will mount a solid defense, but they will eventually be overrun by Russian troops. Not the case. We underestimated the Ukrainians’ ability to stand their ground. We overestimated the Russian military’s supposed prowess. What happened? It seems that things have atrophied.

Russian armored tactics used to be excellent. Russian tanks are not usually blown to bits in the numbers like we’re seeing in Ukraine. To add more humiliation to Moscow’s supposed military might, armored columns have run out of gas. Everything is stalled except in the city of Mariupol which is besieged and engulfed in classic urban house-to-house fighting right now. Despite no food, water, or electricity, the Ukrainian defenders are not surrendering. Elsewhere, Russian forces are truly stuck in the mud.

Will the capital fall? As of now, no—the Russians don’t have the men or materials to capture the capital. Vladimir Putin is reportedly pressuring Belarus’ Alexander Lukashenko, but he is reluctant to deploy forces into the country. The first phase of this war is over, and Russia failed.

Frank Ledwidge of the University of Portsmouth was on DW News, Germany’s English-speaking outlet, where he noted what former CIA Director David Petraeus said on CNN, that Russia’s top-down command structure has really done them regarding operational efficiency in Ukraine. Post-Crimean annexation, Ukraine retooled its strategy and tactics. They appear to have taken to heart the notion of trusting your subordinates to get the job done. In the US, we have our non-commissioned officer corps that’s entrusted to do that—they’re the backbone of any armed forces. Russians can’t do anything without their general saying so, which is why so many of them are deployed in front-line situations which have led to them being killed by Ukrainian snipers. Ledwidge noted that this could be due to some help from Western intelligence services but the two separate thoughts on how to fight a war are on display and the Russian way is very much killing them in the field. That 40-mile-long convoy hasn’t moved in days. With reports that Russia has gone as far as they can at this point, it might become a 40-mile funeral procession, as Ukrainians are picking off these idle vehicles.

‘This Is War’: Russia Launches Nuke Threats to the West (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .[A]mid reports the Russia aggressors are stalling out in mud, in frostbite weather, and more, Russian officials are ramping up their threats to the rest of the world.

One such attempt to intimidate is coming from Dmitry Peskov, Vladimir Putin’s press secretary, who told Christianne Amanpour on CNN that his nation will use nuclear weapons if faced with an “existential threat.”

There also was the warning from Igor Korotchenko, a military expert on Russian TV, who claimed, “The West will never lift the sanctions … This is war. What should be our reaction? Tactical nuclear weapons…”

And Putin’s propagandist Vladimir Soloviev warned, “If you decide to prepare NATO peacekeepers and bring them in, this will mean a nuclear war. This was told to French journalists on February 8. Brave Poles, your Warsaw will disappear in a split second. Brave Germans, brave Estonians, brave Baltic states. By the way, brave Baltic states, I know there are big problems at the border in Kaliningrad. Maybe it’s time we think about a corridor to Kaliningrad? A land corridor to Kaliningrad. Why not? If we are making one to Transnistria, why not?”

Ted Nugent: ‘Ukraine Is Not an Innocent Player Here’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Ted Nugent has suggested that Russian president Vladimir Putin was forced to act in Ukraine in order to impose neutrality on Russia’s neighboring country, in the process preventing it from joining NATO to stop it from posing a threat to Russia’s national security.

Nugent weighed in on the situation in Ukraine during today’s (Monday, March 21) edition of “The Nightly Nuge”, a news-style clip in which Ted offers his take on the news of our world every night. Speaking about whether the United States and the West invited this war with their support for admitting Ukraine into NATO, a step that Russia finds unacceptable, Ted said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I would like to think that Putin, the murderous punk that he is, the tyrannical monster that he is, historically has to have the same security on his borders [as I do on my personal property], and when the NATO countries threaten to be right on his doorstep, he has to respond.

“Let me put it in simple terms. I spoke to some real heroes, boots on the ground in the Ukraine,” Ted continued. “Ukraine is not an innocent player here. Putin is clearly a guilty player here.

“So, our prayers are with those poor families in the Ukraine who just wanted to have a semblance of quality of life and justice and good will and decency, who are now escaping with the clothes on their back to Poland and elsewhere, NATO members.

“I don’t trust NATO, I don’t trust Putin, I don’t trust [Ukrainian president Volodymyr] Zelensky, and I sure as hell don’t trust [U.S. president] Joe Biden or the Department Of Defense,” Nugent added. “The whole hellraising about the military industrial complex I dismissed for many years; now it cannot be dismissed. These monsters are playing their games to enrich their inner core, and that’s the real horror that’s unfolding before our very eyes because of the Russian invasion of the Ukraine.” (Read more from “Ted Nugent: ‘Ukraine Is Not an Innocent Player Here’” HERE)
