How Ukraine has become the crucible of the new world order
I guess it comes down to what your definition of "New World Order" means, but that term sure has been used a whole lot lately. On another note, I thought this was an interesting insight from the article...
Joe Biden’s tenure as US president may be fatally undermined by the war. He is praised for avoiding direct military confrontation with Russia. But as in Afghanistan last year, he has failed to prevent a humanitarian disaster – or stop Putin. Anger over resulting domestic energy price rises and retail inflation could be his undoing.

I've always liked that Carville meme: "The economy, stupid." He was speaking to Clinton strategists that were going all over the place in their effort to beat Bush Sr.
IMO, nothing can sink a presidency faster than a bad economy. Second place is war. Third place (but moving up fast) is when the MSM coordinates several false narratives and does everything it can to defeat a prez.

They clearly had a hand in provoking the invasion, as I and MM pointed out. What kind of dummy invites Zelensky to a meeting right after you had just given the world warnings that an invasion by Russia was imminent and gives a speech about joining NATO days before the invasion? I don't believe the Biden admin is that dumb.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostIt seems likely that Biden is "expendable" in that they will allow him to take the heat for the damage he is doing as long as they get what they want. If they succeed it won't matter to them if Biden goes down in history as the most inept, despised -- worst -- president ever. It is a sacrifice they are willing to make.

I was wondering about that. Obama didn't do a lot of this specific damage because he wanted to protect his legacy. But I bet he's behind the curtain and getting Biden to do it. Joe is clueless; they wave an ice cream in front of him if starts to think about a legacy.

Why would the NATO chief tell Russia to stop all this naughty talk about nuclear war and then reassure Russia that NATO won't get physically involved if they do?
NATO head tells Russia it cannot win nuclear war
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – NATO warned on Wednesday against Russia’s war in Ukraine sliding into a nuclear confrontation between Moscow and the West.
“Russia should stop this dangerous irresponsible nuclear rhetoric,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told a news conference. “But let there be no doubt about our readiness to protect and defend allies against any threat anytime.”
“Russia must understand that it can never win a nuclear war,” he said on the eve of a summit of the Western military alliance’s national leaders in Brussels. “NATO is not part of the conflict … it provides support to Ukraine but isn’t part of the conflict.”
“NATO will not send the troops into Ukraine… It is extremely important to provide support to Ukraine and we are stepping up. But at the same time it is also extremely important to prevent this conflict becoming a full-fledged war between NATO and Russia.”
