* Moscow has officially demanded that NATO deny membership to Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin today announced he would ponder a slew of options if the West fails to meet his push for security guarantees preventing NATO's expansion to Ukraine.
Earlier this month, Moscow submitted draft security documents demanding that NATO deny membership to Ukraine and other former Soviet countries and roll back its military deployments in Central and Eastern Europe.

This tells me that Putin senses real weakness in the West and is acting accordingly while he can. Biden's current condition and his families proclivities for conducting blackmailable offenses makes it all too easy for Putin to get his way.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, some of this crying from Putin about Russia's security seems to be fearful by its nature.
ReplyDeleteSure the Biden family is blackmailable. But there are a lot of problems. You have to communicate with him. How can you do that? Biden has handlers. They are dirty too, but they themselves are not blackmailable. They are not going to communicate blackmail threats to Biden. Really the only people able to communicate a blackmail threat to Joe Biden is Hunter, James Biden, or maybe Jill. If you communicate to the handlers, they may at some point simple tell the blackmailers to do their worst and then clean up the political damage at home or try to.
ReplyDeletePutin and Xi could rely on that, since Joe is a cutout and and does not govern anything, the oligarchy behind him may not have efficient decision making and communication. Their decision making might be hours or maybe a day or two. That is scary.

Why Did Russia Give Away Crimea Sixty Years Ago?
The Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation was an agreement between Ukraine and Russia, signed in 1997, which fixed the principle of strategic partnership, the recognition of the inviolability of existing borders, and respect for territorial integrity and mutual commitment not to use its territory to harm the security of each other.
Russia is at fault here.
Is denying linguistic rights whatever that means worth going to war over? It may be. But not having tried the UN first, shows Russia to be a bad actor.

ReplyDelete"President Donald Trump has signed a law that will impose sanctions on any firm that helps Russia's state-owned gas company, Gazprom, finish a pipeline into the European Union." - BBC (21 December 2019)
"On 26 January 2021, the White House said that Joe Biden "continues to believe that Nord Stream 2 is a bad deal for Europe" and that his administration "will be reviewing" the new sanctions."
"The Biden administration has waived sanctions on a company building a controversial gas pipeline between Russia and Germany."

It seems Xi is not the only one, who has pictures of Hunter Biden. Putin has them too.
What was Biden, his aids doing in 2019 and 202? Obviously, they had not finished studying the NS2 issue. Or was their 26 JAN 2021 statement a head fake?
Also 9:55 is that the royal "we"?
Well known? ask mommy about your daddy and who he might be
