He Pulled a Biden! Trudeau Tries to Distract From Anti-Mandate Trucker Protests With Ukraine Panic

/0 Comments/in , /by

The government of far-left Prime Minister Justin Trudeau withdrew nonessential personnel from Canada’s embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, this weekend and sent the nation’s defense minister to the capital to discuss an alleged potential Russian invasion of the country.

The extensive focus on Ukraine for Canada follows nearly two weeks of elevated coverage of the eight-year invasion of Ukraine by Moscow that became a global priority after President Joe Biden hinted that America would not aid its allies in Kyiv if Russia engages in a “minor incursion” of the country. Tensions between the Biden administration and its counterpart under Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have escalated since the “minor incursion” remark, culminating with an exasperated Zelensky telling reporters during a press conference Friday that his country has lost nearly $500 million in foreign investment since Biden predicted a further invasion of the country.

It also follows a tumultuous week of domestic politics in Canada. After nearly two years of onerous pandemic lockdown policies under the Trudeau government, a protest convoy organized by truckers across Canada arrived in Ottawa this weekend, flooding the capital with thousands of peaceful protesters demanding the restoration of basic civil rights stripped from Canadians in the name of public health. Police following the event documented no incidents of violence, injuries, or any major disturbances following the peaceful protests.

Trudeau has dismissed the thousands of protesters as a “fringe” minority and fled to an undisclosed location shortly before the truckers arrived in the capital. He has since announced that he tested positive for Chinese coronavirus. (Read more from “He Pulled a Biden! Trudeau Tries to Distract From Anti-Mandate Trucker Protests With Ukraine Panic” HERE)

Ukrainian President Chastises Biden on Russia: ‘I Am Based Here, and I Think I Know the Details’; After Destroying America’s Economy Biden Now Destroying Foreign Economies: Zelensky Says Ukraine Lost Almost $500 Million to Biden War Hype

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. President Biden had a phone call Thursday night with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and it apparently wasn’t “perfect,” to borrow the term President Trump famously employed to describe a conversation with the Ukrainian leader that Democrats used to impeach him.

CNN reported Thursday, citing an unnamed senior Ukrainian official, that Biden’s call with Zelensky over the possibility of a Russian invasion of Ukraine “did not go well.”

Biden, according to the official, told Zelensky a Russian invasion is nearly certain in February, as soon as the ground freezes solid enough for Russian tanks to move. A frustrated Zelensky, the official said, told Biden the invasion threat has been exaggerated. . .

However, on Friday at a press conference in Kiev, Zelensky made it clear he believed Biden did not have a good read on the situation with Russia. . .

“But I am the president of Ukraine, and I based here, and I think I know the details deeper than any other president,” he emphasized. (Read more from “Ukrainian President Chastises Biden on Russia: ‘I Am Based Here, and I Think I Know the Details’” HERE)

After Destroying America’s Economy Biden Now Destroying Foreign Economies: Zelensky Says Ukraine Lost Almost $500 Million to Biden War Hype

By Breitbart. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned international corporate media and world leaders like President Joe Biden for publicly predicting imminent war with Russia on Friday, stating that the panic caused by these statements cost Ukraine 12.5 billion hryvnia (about $437 million) in foreign investment.

Zelensky spent nearly an hour and a half with reporters at a press conference in Kyiv on Friday following what has become a controversial phone conversation with President Biden on Thursday night. While the official readouts from both Washington and Kyiv depicted the call as productive and friendly, a CNN report based on anonymous sources described the call as frustrating and tedious, featuring harried warnings from Biden that Kyiv would be “sacked” and exasperated requests from Zelensky for the president to “calm down.”

Both the White House and the Ukrainian president’s office have rejected the CNN report, and Zelensky himself, during the press conference, repeatedly expressed gratitude to Biden without addressing the acute challenges the CNN report claimed exist in the relationship.

Zelensky did tell reporters that he spent much of the call emphasizing to Biden that telling the world that Russia would imminently invade Ukraine – something Kyiv has repeatedly stated there is little material evidence to believe – could lead to economic devastation in the country that would, in turn, increase the probability of a full-fledged Russian assault.

“I mentioned this to President Biden … we need to stabilize the economy of our country because of those signals which say that tomorrow there will be war,” Zelensky said, “because these signals were sent by even leaders of the respected countries, sometimes they are not even using diplomatic language! They are saying, ‘Tomorrow is the war.’”

Americans to Biden: Don’t Run U.S. Into Ukraine War

/0 Comments/in , /by

A recent Guardian report addressed the issue of American presidents and foreign wars, explaining a “rally around the flag” effect that appears to boost the standings of sitting presidents if they take certain foreign actions.

“Wars can be great for presidential popularity,” the report said, citing the conclusions of political scientist John Mueller who said that effect results when presidents take international action, involves the president directly, and is “specific, dramatic and sharply focused.”

It reported that a 2015 study showed the 2003 invasion of Iraq gave George W. Bush a surge in support. . .

The polling showed 84.8% of American voters think the U.S. should have limited involvement in the event Russia invades Ukraine.

It revealed 31.1% believe the U.S. should provide supplies and military weapons, 30.5% think the U.S. should provide only diplomatic area pressure, and 23.2% believe the U.S. should provide U.S. military advisers. (Read more from “Americans to Biden: Don’t Run U.S. Into Ukraine War” HERE)

Will They or Won’t They? Ukraine Insists ‘No Reason to Panic’ as Russia Invasion Fears Grow

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ukrainian officials have attempted to ease concerns about a possible Russian invasion, telling their citizens there is “no reason to panic,” despite the US and its NATO allies preparing to provide additional support.

On Monday, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said the situation is “under control,” while Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov affirmed Russia’s armed forces had not yet formed battle groups “which would have indicated that tomorrow they could launch an offensive.”

“There are risky scenarios. They’re possible and probable in the future,” Reznikov told Ukraine’s ICTV in an interview before adding that “as of today … such a threat doesn’t exist.”

Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, sounded the same message, saying the military buildup “is not news.”

“As of today, we don’t see any grounds for statements about a full-scale offensive on our country,” Danilov said. (Read more from “Will They or Won’t They? Ukraine Insists ‘No Reason to Panic’ as Russia Invasion Fears Grow” HERE)

US Draws Down Ukraine Embassy Presence as War Fears Mount

/0 Comments/in , /by

The State Department on Sunday ordered the families of all American personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine to leave the country amid heightened fears of a Russian invasion.

The department told the dependents of staffers at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv that they must leave the country. It also said that non-essential embassy staff could leave Ukraine at government expense.

The move came amid rising tensions about Russia’s military buildup on the Ukraine border that were not eased during talks Friday between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Geneva.

US Wants Russia to Pull Back Troops From Ukraine’s Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

The American envoy to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) said on Tuesday that the U.S. and its allies want Russia to take concrete actions to de-escalate tensions on Ukraine’s border, amid fears that Moscow is prepared to launch a large-scale invasion of the former Soviet state.

The U.S. ambassador to NATO, Julianne Smith, said the U.S. expects Russia to pull back the forces it has massed on Ukraine’s border and commit to engaging with the Minsk agreements, the 2014 diplomatic protocol intended to end fighting in eastern Ukraine.

“We want to see the full implementation of the Minsk agreements with Russia pulling back its forces. But if Russia pursues confrontation, there will be serious consequences,” Smith told reporters during a briefing from Brussels, ahead of a meeting of the NATO-Russia council and set for Wednesday.

The Minsk agreements are a step-by-step guide written between 2014 and 2015 aimed at resolving war in Ukraine’s east, where Ukrainian government forces are battling Russian-backed separatists.

Kyiv and Moscow recommitted to a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine in December, in what was viewed as a welcome confidence-building measure amid Russia’s massing of more than 100,000 troops on the Ukraine’s border and ahead of the diplomatic meetings in Europe.

Russia Reacts With Fury to Blinken’s Jab at Troops in Kazakhstan

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tensions are rising between the US and Russia, after the Kremlin on Saturday slammed a comment by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that Kazakhstan might have a hard time getting rid of Russian troops now deployed there.

Blinken on Friday challenged Russia’s justification for sending forces into Kazakhstan after days of violent unrest in the Central Asian country.

‘One lesson of recent history is that once Russians are in your house, it’s sometimes very difficult to get them to leave,’ Blinken said.

Russia’s foreign ministry called Blinken’s remark ‘typically offensive’ and accused him of joking about tragic events in Kazakhstan. It said Washington should analyze its own track record of interventions in countries such as Vietnam and Iraq.

‘If Antony Blinken loves history lessons so much, then he should take the following into account: when Americans are in your house, it can be difficult to stay alive and not be robbed or raped,’ the ministry said on its Telegram social media channel.

Report: Ukraine Invasion ‘Likely’ as Biden Prepares for Call With Zelensky

/1 Comment/in , /by

Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday he believes it is “very likely” that Russia will invade Ukraine as President Biden prepared for another call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about the tense standoff.

“I fear that Putin is very likely to invade. I still, frankly, don’t understand the full motivation for why, why now he’s doing this. But he certainly appears intent on it unless we can persuade him otherwise,” Schiff (D-Calif.) said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

“And I think nothing other than a level of sanctions that Russia has never seen will deter him, and that’s exactly what we need to do with our allies,” he added.

Biden said he warned President Vladimir Putin during their phone call on Thursday that he will be hit with “severe sanctions” if an attack is launched against Ukraine.

“I made it clear to President Putin that we will have severe sanctions, we will increase our presence in Europe, with NATO allies,” Biden told reporters last Friday. (Read more from “Report: Ukraine Invasion ‘Likely’ as Biden Prepares for Call With Zelensky” HERE)

WATCH: Tulsi Gabbard Says GOP Senator ‘Must Be Insane, a Sociopath or a Sadist’ for Hinting at Nuclear War With Russia

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Hawaii Congresswoman and 2020 Democratic Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard criticized a high-ranking Republican on Wednesday for his suggestion to use nuclear weapons against Russia to save Ukraine from invasion.

Gabbard appeared on the Wednesday episode of Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” where she rebuffed Republican Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker’s earlier comments on the necessity to keep the nuclear option “on the table.”

“Anyone who would propose or even consider what he is saying as an option, must be insane, a sociopath or a sadist,” Gabbard told host and Daily Caller co-founder, Tucker Carlson.

She warned of the grim consequences of the suggested military action against Russia, which is a nuclear superpower, including the destruction of “the American people, our country, and the world.”

Biden: Sending US Troops to Ukraine ‘Not on the Table’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden on Wednesday said the United States is not considering sending troops to Ukraine amid rising fears about the possibility of a Russian military invasion.

“That is not on the table,” Biden told reporters at the White House before departing for a trip to Kansas City, Mo.

“We have a moral obligation and a legal obligation to our NATO allies if they were to attack under Article 5, it’s a sacred obligation. That obligation does not extend to … Ukraine,” he added.

Biden said it would “depend upon what the rest of the NATO countries were willing to do as well” but rejected the idea that the U.S. would “unilaterally use force to confront Russia” if it were to invade.

The president’s comments came a day after his tense two-hour virtual meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which White House officials said the American president warned his Russian counterpart of harsh economic sanctions should Russia invade Ukraine.
