Sunday Talks, Psaki Gives Away the Ukraine Game – Russia Is Needed As Fall Guy for Biden Energy Policy and Economic Damage
2022-02-28
[ConservativeTreehouse] During an ABC interview today, White House Spokesperson Jennifer Psaki gave away the game for the Biden Administration’s intent on exploiting the Russia-Ukraine crisis.

Keep in mind, as the Biden team were getting pummeled for negative economic outcomes, massive inflation, skyrocketing energy costs and gas prices set to double, the White House worked to create an urgent defense by manufacturing the crisis.

While Joe Biden ate his pudding, the people behind the scenes told Zelenskyy and Putin that Ukraine was about to enter NATO {December 2021}. The White House then seeded details through China knowing the intel would get back to Putin. Russia took the bait and intervened.

#12  1. Insulting the US President is not gonna get a rise out of anyone on this board. We know.
2. I agree with Darth Vader except I blame Bush sr who was in charge when the wall came down. the should have taken the Warsaw Pact (without ex-soviet states) and pushed for a neutral alliance between West Europe and Paranoid Europe.

#10  Where is the American president?

The real one, down in Florida. He would have kept his warning. And we all probably wouldn't be posting. The Ukraine would be the least of the Russians worries. The Chinese would be moving north and west to mop up.

#9  If you had a president who was not braindead, you could force an end to this war right now.

Zelensky is in Belarus for peace talks. You can still tell him to accept partition - Russia now dominates the east and south and has secured their land bridge to Crimea. Zelensky is still alive and his big cities have not yet been leveled. And you could threaten Putin with a real stick - a thermonuclear strike unless he accepts the deal MF pulls back to the Novorossia line.

Where is the American president?

Nero, fiddling little girls while the world burns?

#8  I blame Clinton and the idiots that came after him. Instead of throwing a party and disbanding NATO after the Soviet Union fell and trying to establish ties with Russia, they pushed NATO right up to the border of a very paranoid and humiliated nation and sought to punish them.

The aggressive and paranoid Russia we have now is a direct consequence of those actions.

I still blame Putin for being an asshole though and support the Ukraine in spite of our feckless political class.

#7  Your nation's cretin president encouraged Ukrainians to hope for NATO membership and then you left them hanging in the wind.

Now that cretin is destroying your economy and your position in the world. $150 oil. Hyperinflation everywhere. Millions of Americans thrown into poverty.

Soon there will be war in Asia. War in the Middle East. Nations lining up to get their own nukes.

Why are you doing this? Why didn't you force Zelensky to be reasonable and accept partition? You could have backed it up with a serious threat to Putin -- not your stupid useless sanctions but a serious nuclear threat -- as a way to force a lasting durable peace agreement from both sides.

Instead you made promises you weren't willing to keep and enabled Putin to commit this atrocity.

Man up and admit that your idiot president bears a large responsibility for what we know now is the destruction of the world's security and prosperity. Man up. Stop denying.

And they have often been proven correct.

#1  Of course it is the "fall guy." We've discussed this here for weeks. BTW, where is that worthless POS Hunter these days? Where is the media reporting on Julian Assange, or Ghislaine Maxwell, Jan 6 protestors ?
