Putin is a wicked despot. But Ukraine’s President is a blatant
Globalist which places him in league with other One-Worlders. I trust neither
leader in this Ukraine-Russia War. And so I have taken the unpopular stand
America should not send our military under the title, “Foreign
Entanglements & Globalists Controlling America.”
On the other hand has had a history of barbarism against
Ukrainian speaking people. When Soviet Russia controlled Ukraine a genocide occurred
killing 7 million people under Stalin’s rule. You probably haven’t heard what
that Ukraine genocide is called: Holodomor. The Holodomor Museum offers
details under the title, “Holodomor
History”.
Justin Smith takes this outrage of a past genocide and
couples it with the visible atrocities being perpetrated at the direction of
Putin upon the Ukrainian people. I don’t necessarily agree with his call as far
as America is concerned, but I do understand Justin’s position completely.

Ukraine Burns and Her People Fight
Putin Turns Life Into One Endless Hell

"These days in
Washington. It is cold, sunny, and a lot is being said about Ukraine."
~ Svitlana Zalishchuk, at the Capitol Building in D.C. on December 11th 2019 as
part of a diplomatic delegation
Those who would rule over others often say that their plans
and actions are for the children of their respective region or country, as
words to further their ends, but sometimes a thing is indeed a necessity for
the safety, security and general welfare and wellbeing of the children.
Today, nothing is more important for the sake of the
children of a country, as stopping the invasion and war against Ukraine and the
makings of a genocide underway, since Putin has given
his Russian soldiers the nod to target civilians, recently destroying a
maternity hospital and its children's ward in Mariupol, Ukraine in
a manner that approaches the viciousness of the Islamic State in Ramadi, as the
world witnesses Putin use inhuman vacuum bombs against military and
civilians alike. And as such, the entire free world should be
moving heaven and earth to stop this incredibly evil move by Putin without
escalating the war, if possible, as some two million Ukrainians have been
forced to flee.
[Blog Editor: Here is a description of what a Vacuum (Thermobaric)
Bomb does:
What is a vacuum bomb?
A vacuum bomb is also called a
thermobaric weapon.
It uses the oxygen of the
surrounding air to produce a high temperature explosion.
The blast wave produced is
significantly longer than typical condensed explosives.
They are among the most powerful
non-nuclear weapons ever developed.
Thermobaric weapons are about 100
percent fuel, and therefore more powerful than many conventional explosives.
How deadly are vacuum bombs?
A vacuum bomb can evaporate humans
and crush internal organs.
As oxygen is absorbed by the
atmosphere, rapid heat increases can be done by even those at a distance.
Thermobaric weapons can be
destructive against buildings and are effective in destroying defensive
positions.
In 2017, the US dropped a
thermobaric bomb weighing 21,600 pounds over the Taliban in Afghanistan.
It exploded six feet above the
ground and left the caterpillar more than 300 meters wide. (What is a vacuum bomb?
Love By Life)
While looking for a Vacuum Bomb definition, I ran into
info I suspect the Russian military will exploit if a war crimes tribunal is
formed:
Is there a ban on vacuum bombs?
Unlike cluster munitions, there is
no international treaty specifically banning thermobaric weapons. But the use
of weapons that don't discriminate between civilians and military targets are
broadly banned by the Geneva Conventions.
While neither Russia nor Ukraine is
subject to the International Criminal Court, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan said he
was opening an investigation into the possibility
of war crimes being committed during the invasion. (Cluster
Bombs: Russia Accused of Using Banned Munitions Every Day; By Dan Avery;
CNet; 3/6/22 12:15 p.m. PT)]
We see the images of worn, weary and often battered people
of all ages -- primarily only women and children -- trying to manage their way
through the ruins and rubble, across streams and under collapsed bridges with
the help of policemen and soldiers and the other men of the communities; the images
of the wounded, the dying and the dead, and the massive crowds breathing like a
living thing, as one sees the worry, anxiety, misery and the strain of going
without sleep, food and water, sometimes for days, etched across their faces.
We see them fleeing on foot, on bicycles, sometimes cars and rushing to the
train stations.
Like surreal glimpses of paintings by the old masters, one
cannot forget the people crying, praying, hugging and kissing one another and
saying "Good-bye" to parents, brothers and sisters, children and all
their friends, all they love -- the place they call "Home", the
Ukraine they all love so well.
***Ukrainian cities are being
closed in upon and encircled and bombarded by the Russians,
from Mariupol and Odessa and on to Kyiv. And in Lviv, the scene is stark and
jarring as the world bears witness to several hundred thousand people, women
and children and the elderly pouring into the city that sits approximately 50
miles from the Polish border. The numbers grow and the trains and every other
means of transportation are running day and night. Shelters in every major
Ukrainian city are overflowing and the people are running out of fresh water
and food, with all manner of waste now a problem, but the Ukrainian people on
the whole still seem quite positive and unbroken twelve days into the fight for
their homeland.
***[Blog Editor: Here is the Youtube video of the ABC
report of the Russian military targeting Ukrainian civilians:

Even worse, despite assurances given by Putin that the
Ukrainian civilians could safely traverse the "safe corridors"
established, invariably each time a convoy of civilians attempts to flee, they
are shelled by the Russians. There are not really any safe corridors to exit
Ukraine, for those who have chosen to flee, for whatever the reason.
Twelve days into this war and the world stands astounded by
the resolve and strength of the majority of Ukrainians who are currently
fighting back more fiercely than anyone could have foreseen, and they are
enduring, even though in many instances they are fighting in the cold on short
rations and one meal a day because supply stores have been destroyed by the
Russians. And right at their side, President Volodymyr Zelensky has stood
courageously, refusing to run or hide, telling President Biden "I need
ammunition, not a ride" when offered a way out of Ukraine; this resolve
and courage represents the unsubdued will of all Ukrainians and it has
inspired nearly 140,000 Ukrainians from other countries, as
well as some 3,000 Americans, to rush to aid in the fight.
Bloody, crumpled bodies lay in city squares, along the roads
and in private courtyards of homes, with what is left of their earthly
possessions scattered about them, left for others to clean away as the chaos of
war swirls about them all for the entire Free World to see. In Irpin, an entire
family was killed in front of the mayor, including two small children, when a
Russian rocket hit a local checkpoint, something which President
Volodymyr Zelensky declared was "deliberate murder".
And many Russians agree.
Russian dissident, largely freelance journalist and editor
for RT News until recently, Maria Baronova has strongly denounced Putin's
invasion into Ukraine. She's regularly spoken and written in opposition to
Putin's tyranny at home and his moves against Ukraine since 2014, and left her
job at RT News in protest over the invasion.
"Our (Russian) grandfathers
didn't fight for this, everything was betrayed. If I chose to be with Russia,
this doesn't mean that I should walk in a totalitarian system -- be silent. And
if I chose to be with Russia, this does not mean that I, for example, rejoice
that the regime, which I do not want for my country, is being exported
somewhere else. And this regime will finally turn our life into one endless
hell. What's there. Already turned."
And all Ol' Joe can do is stumble, mumble, falter and fail,
as he congratulates himself for the current coalition of diplomats, who exude
uncertainty in their stated certainties, very similar to Neville Chamberlain celebrating
the coalition that declared war on Germany after Hitler invaded Poland.
As former
Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) told Laura Ingraham on March 8th 2022:
"Nothing that the Biden
administration has done has helped to make this situation better -- has helped
to de-escalate the situation -- which is why the only conclusion I can draw
about why they have been completely silent and not engaging at all on this
window of opportunity that President Zelensky opened last night is that
[pulling back from his stated goal of joining NATO] -- what is happening
before our eyes right now is exactly what they want to see continue. Why is
that? Because it's good for the military-industrial complex. It makes these
politicians look tough and really it allows them to have this proxy war with
Russia, something that Hillary Clinton laid out just recently, really what
their aims are. This war machine, this power elite in Washington. They want to
turn Ukraine into another Afghanistan, turn it into this killing field where
this long term insurgency is supported and they bleed out and cripple -- kill
as many Russians as possible for who knows how long. They are showing their
real aim in the fact that they are not taking action right now to end this
conflict."
I never thought I'd see the day I'd agree with a Democrat on
anything, but to some great degree, Tulsi has it right. There is a large
component of our Congress that would love nothing better than ultimately
destroying Russia. And, there's actually a good many reasons we should destroy
Putin's grip on Russia, and the oligarchs who side with him, if and when we
can, doing as little harm in the long term to the Russian people themselves;
but for now, the main focus should be on stopping the war from growing larger
and neutralizing Putin's ability to do this again anytime soon.
Many Russians, Ukrainians, Americans and many people all
across the globe do not want this war. It really serves no one's interests,
except those of President Vladimir Putin.
However, it's also more complicated in that the U.S. must
not allow Russia to dictate our defense measures, who we can let into NATO, or
any other aspect of U.S. defense strategies at home and abroad and what we see
as pertinent to their success. For anyone who believes that Ukraine isn't a
vital interest for America and Europe, just sit back and let Putin conquer
Ukraine and subjugate its people and watch how quick Putin
manipulates its resources, the food and minerals and natural
gas, to blackmail Europe and other nations, which heavily rely on
those exports today.
If the U.S. tries to fill the void left by Russia's invasion
of Ukraine, by increasing food exports internationally, American's
will soon see our own prices rise further, even after they
have already been increased by
thirty to sixty percent, in some cases, due to the lockdowns,
Biden's stimulus spending and the supply chain breakdown and a host of other
economic factors.
And then we see those who want to make biolabs in Ukraine an
issue-- as if their is some malevolent underlying scheme inside the cooperation
between the U.S. and Ukraine to keep these labs secure -- as if that
somehow demands or justifies Russia's invasion of the sovereign nation of
Ukraine. Russia has some of the most advanced biolabs in the world that are used
for medical and scientific advancements, just as the U.S. has such labs in Los
Alamos, John Hopkins University and even St. Jude's Children Hospital where
they find cures for cancer; and anywhere there are biolabs, regardless of who
operates them, they all can be quickly converted for military warfare and the
creation of deadly biological agents.
This is a deflection and a red-herring that doesn't negate
the fact that this is Putin's war, his war of choosing, his war for the rise of
the new Russian Empire.
The greatest portion of what has been disseminated to date, ***in
regards to the biolab issue has been Russian disinformation and outright
lies and propaganda, which started with Dilyana Gaytandzhieva, a
Bulgarian "journalist", who released her article 'The Pentagon
Bio-Weapons' on January 16th 2018 on an English portal called South Front. South
Front is administered from Russia and it is registered on a Russian domain,
which often published conspiracy theories about military and intelligence
issues. The same material in Russian was published at News Front, which
recognizes the independence of Donbass and notes that the purpose of the
publication is to defend the interest of Russian civilization.
***[Blog Editor: Here is one thing I know. Putin is a
regional despot focused on restoring old USSR boundaries. Zelenskyy and Ukraine
is definitely the victims of Putin aggression, BUT Zelenskyy has aligned
himself with the Globalist Cabal of Soros/Schwab/WEF which I have no doubt has
tentacles reaching Obama/Biden. Under Secretary Nuland has admitted to American
managed Biolabs in the Ukraine:
o Undersecretary
Nuland admits to biolabs in Ukraine: By Seth Hancock; The Liberty Loft; 3/9/22
Does that wicked Putin an excuse to commit atrocities in
Ukraine? HELL NO! But let’s be clear. Zelenskyy is no friend of individual
Liberty America’s Heritage derivers from the Declaration of Independence and
the U.S. Constitution. Zelenskyy
is aligned with One-Worlders where the State tells people what to think,
believe and speak.]
The Washington Post article on August 30th 2005 [Blog
Editor: Note the date chimes when Ukraine corruption was particularly heinous.
Also note American
influence of biolabs in Ukraine began with the Obama Administration after 2008]
by Jo Warrick opens with the statement:
"The United States and
Ukraine agreed yesterday to work jointly to prevent the spread of biological
weapons, signing a pact that clears the way for Ukraine's government to receive
U.S. aid to improve security at facilities where dangerous microbes are kept."
And, the two senators leading the way on this initiative
were Richard Lugar (R-IN) and Barack Obama (D-IL) [Blog Editor: National
Pulse link actually implicates Obama & Lugar]. Make of it
what You will, nothing surrounding this issue gives Putin license to invade
Ukraine.
This war is not in the best interests of anyone, but then
neither is the reconstitution of the Russian Empire and the exponentially more
massive amount of power it will hand Putin and his minions. The sooner we can
end it the better it will be for the world, however we may achieve this,
especially when Putin seems to be unhinged these days and all to willing to use
his nuclear weapons.
But neither can we be held hostage through nuclear blackmail.
It may come to a point in the coming days, months or years that we simply tell
Putin to do what he feels he must, and we will do the same, even if it means
raining down every nuke in our arsenal on his head, because if he can take
Ukraine without nary a flinch from the West, there isn't any country in the
world that is safe from his adventurisms and conquests, in tandem and co/operation
with his Big Buddy and ally, Xi of China.
For whatever it's worth, late to the game as usual, Joe
Biden finally decided share intelligence with President Zelensky last week, and
just yesterday, Ol' Slow Joe decided to sanction all Russian oil , but
it will take close to 45 days for the sanctions to actually go into effect,
and in the meantime, Putin just keeps getting wealthier and wealthier as he and
his fellow oligarchs rake whatever profits they want off the top. It's going to
take a bit more diplomacy in conjunction with some show of force that actually
rattles Putin and a continued strong backing of Ukraine to persuade Putin to
withdraw.
Lesia Vasylenko,
Member of Ukraine's Parliament and -- more importantly -- mother to three
children, now stands as a member of Ukraine's military too, with rifle slung,
and prepared to fight the advancing Russians, "house to
house" and "hand to hand" as she recently told Fox News.
[Blog Editor: Fox News video clip embed of Lesia Vayslenko:
Fox News VIDEO: Putin is a
psychopathic leader: Ukrainian parliament member
Mar. 04, 2022 - 9:22 - Lesia
Vasylenko provides insight on NATO's decision on a no-fly zone and
house-to-house combat in the Russia-Ukraine war on 'The Story.]
Several says ago, she told CBS:
"Right now, for me to leave
would be treason. And even if it wasn't written in the law, I would stay anyway,
because I am Ukrainian and my biggest value in life is freedom. For freedom, I
am prepared to fight. And for freedom, I am prepared to stay. And I want my
children to wake up tomorrow and everyday in a free and independent country
that believes in values and that fights for these values -- not in some kind of
empire where the Ukrainians are treated like slaves."
The specter of a harsh life under Russian influence and
control has surfaced once again, and this is a life that the majority of
Ukrainians will never accept again -- something they will fight to the death
before being forced once more down the road to serfdom.
The Ukranian people have never forgotten the millions of
peasants who were murdered during the 1919 de-Cossackization of the Don region.
They have never forgotten the 10 million Ukrainians who were starved to death
by Stalin's regime between 1932 and 1934 -- something Putin may be looking
to do, and they remember the forced exiles to Siberia during 1944-45. Their
resentment and hostility towards Russia and its past Communism and Putin's new
authoritarianism has boiled to the surface in this war, as they also recall the
cozy arrangement some of its past "leaders" had with President Putin,
birthed in the bowels of the murderous KGB.
On March 2nd 2022, Lesia also said that she had several firearms and stood
ready to pull the trigger in defense of her home and family, as she spoke of
spending the day in Kyiv evacuating her children and other families, sadly
noting:
"It's heartbreaking. It's
really hard to do because every mother wants to spare their children the pains
and burdens of war and the fear that comes with it."
One certainly must hand it to Ukraine's women. Many of them
are courageous beyond belief, perhaps more so than the men.
Svitlanka Zalishchuk, Ukrainian patriot and former Member of
Parliament stated the
case pretty darned well on February 24th 2022:
"Putin started the war not
against Ukraine -- but against the whole normal world. The international
community's response to the Kremlin should not be based on NATO membership, but
on conscience, dignity, and universal values. The story of February 2022 will
be harshly judged by the Chamberlains. Now is the moment of history, and much
depends on each of us. We need to panic, consciously determine where we can be
useful. I believe in Ukraine and my people." (from Google translate --
not certain of its complete accuracy)
Regardless of what the world leaders do to resolve this
current existential threat to the entire world, many people across the globe,
including here in America are standing in solidarity with the Ukrainian people
with a spirit in the hearts of all that crosses national boundaries, as we work
and fight for a lasting peace, and pray that our horizons may never ignite in
the orangish-red glow accompanied by a nuclear blast.
Ukrainians are writing the history of Ukraine today, as they
fight for their children and for their futures.
