Are We Thinking Ahead As To What Trump's Praise Of Putin Actually Means?
Last year in January, I wrote here that Putin would invade Ukraine within a year. My Blog address is on my Facebook profile. Click on it, and enter "Russia, Putin " in the search bar. You will see a large archive of articles going back three years, where my public output is there for any among my readers to access.
I said that Putin jailed Navalny a year ago as a test of the new incoming administration, which was based on not simply his autocratic leanings coming forth, but as a probe. I warned that we should expect a Russian strategic move in Europe within a year, for the purpose of both a humiliation of Biden and NATO, and to fuel the increased division and civil conflict in the US driven by the Trump/Fascist GOP Mob.

Honestly, I have little idea how widely my articles are read, that is, based on the reactions I get to them here, but everything I've said that would play out in the various pieces I've posted on the Russia/Putin front has happened. Is there any curiosity at all on how I made this assessment?
Yes, Putin wants Ukraine in his sphere, but everything he does is concommitantly designed to accelerate chaos, division, and civil conflict within the United States. That is his actual strategic goal, and he is using every asset at his disposal to do this. Putin, like his understudy Donald Trump is driven by his desire for revenge, except in Putin's case against the United States, in addition to restoring the "Third Rome" Orthodox Russian Empire of the Czars, which prophesies the destruction of the Western infidels in a "rain of fire".
Trumpworld is Putin's treasonous "Fifth Column" in the US, and they are traitors to the Nation. What more is needed for one to just state this outright, now that Trump himself has lavished praise on the military invasion of Ukraine? Trump has been in Putin's pocket for a long time, but this is different.
Ukraine's President Zelensky wouldn't manufacture a scandal against Joe or Hunter Biden to help him steal the election. Therefore Trump is watching events today with glee and barely contained almost sexual gratification driven by his revenge against Ukraine being fulfilled. It's a virtual multiple orgasm for Trump, serving to humiliate Biden and NATO, both of which he hates. He gets to watch a "strongman" in action, Putin, doing to Ukraine what he plans to do to Mexico and America's "Democratic" cities in all of those "poorly run States" that voted against him last time should he get back into the Presidency. And finally he watches the destruction of Ukraine, which has been nothing but trouble for him and led to his first Impeachment. Putin is giving Trump some measure of his revenge. When video of the bloodshed begins surfacing on Fox, he will watch it on rewind, just like the Capital riot which he started.
The appropriate response to this atrocity by Putin is for President Biden to use the full range of Presidential powers to neutralize and defeat the leadership and co-conspirators of the much aforementioned Insurrection, and to end this ongoing charade of pursuing unity and bipartisanship at home which has already led to so much damage. He should stop trying to forestall a civil conflict which has already begun. If there has been a failure of Biden's leadership, that is where it has occurred.
Some might say, "what Presidential powers, what do you want him to do"? Well, there are precedents for this. President George Washington personally led an armed force to confront the Army of insurrectionists known as "The Whiskey Rebellion" which marched in a planned attack on our Capitol in Philadelphia during the earliest phases of our Republic. (Depicted above) Washington on the advice of Hamilton taxed Whiskey to help capitalize the First National Bank of the United States. And the opponents of that tax sought to overthrow the government, much like our "Tax Revolt" Militia idiots of today. It was not what one might call "legitimate political discourse". (The post script, they surrendered as soon as they saw Washington leading the armed force against them)
The Insurrection of today consists of far more than those individuals and events involved in January 6th. Narrowly focusing on those events in Washington that day has rendered us vulnerable to the insurrection underway nationwide, being conducted by borderline psychotic Governors, State legislators, and candidates for local offices.
Our people are spectating from their living rooms, sending up prayers that the "lawyers" working on court cases are going to get the job done for us and put Trump in jail, thus bringing to an end our national nightmare. Meanwhile, we are losing our right to vote, our right to a free press, our right to protest, our right to make our own health decisions, and soon our economic rights, because we are so goddamned passive in watching this unfold as if it were reality TV. We are becoming a nation of "Bingers" on a never ending Cable docudrama series, "The End of Democracy".
At what point does Trump's praise for Putin's actions in Ukraine, along with jailing and killing his oppoents in Russia become personal for you and others? You do realize that if the GOP takes Congress and the White House, that Trump or his surrogates will be modeling himself even more on his mentor Putin, and will most certainly use the US military against his adversaries in the US and our neighbors in Mexico?
The following Trump quote covered on NPR--
["I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius.' Putin declares a big portion ... of Ukraine, Putin declares it as independent," Trump said in an interview Tuesday on the conservative Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show.
"So, Putin is now saying, 'It's independent,' a large section of Ukraine. I said, 'How smart is that?' And he's gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That's [the] strongest peace force," Trump said, adding that that was the kind of show of force the United States could use on its Southern border."]
If you need to prove this to yourselves, just look at what he is doing with his movement now. Listen to what they are talking about, and consider the level of racial and religion driven violence they are inciting. Biden will be facing Impeachment within a year from now. Congressional investigations will be launched against all of Trump's enemies (Including the Clintons, Obama, Schumer and Schiff, Pelosi, etc) as "fishing expeditions" to fuel indictments. Also for example, imagine if Trump comes back to power, him appointing the most vile White Supremacist law enforcement official in America to run the Department of Homeland Security, someone who would make J. Edgar Hoover seem like a Progressive. (Erik Prince?) Or Michael Flynn as Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. Jim Jordan as US Attorney General. Is their any doubt at all as to what will unfold if this plays out? Well if not, why aren't we talking about it, why avoid thinking about it? Who didn't know that this is where we might be headed?
Imagine the worst, as you consider what it means that Trump has praised the invasion of Ukraine, and use that thought to measure what you are doing, or what you think you are doing, versus what you could be doing. Then you will know what to do personally, and won't have to ask anyone for advice. And then, the biggest question you will have will not be, "is someone, anyone going to stop this", rather, "what should I be doing, starting today, which is different and might affect this?"
