The way things are going here in the USA/World putin picked a perfect time to act on his plans. Make no mistake he is not an idiot and he is ruthless. More than likely he will take more countries before the governments of the world take him seriously. This has all happened before. It is nothing new. A big war will thin down the worlds population and be a Boon to the economies of the world. A great reset if you will. At least this is one way to look at it.

Sadly, I think you are correct.

Putin is the man riding a white horse depicted in this painting.
He is a man seeking conquest and his companion riders are war, famine and death.



It is an old story but what is new is the computer age and our dependence of computerised systems that control just about everything we need from banking to agriculture and distribution of energy.

Let's hope Putin doesn't become too unhinged and start a nuclear holocaust. That would be the biggest reset of all.

Typical for Europe. There's the ongoing conflict between Greece and Turkey. There's the separatist issue in Spain. Not too long ago was the Bosnian war.

Russia isn't going to take things laying down.

"Moscow may respond to Western sanctions by opting out of the last nuclear arms deal with the United States, cutting diplomatic ties with Western nations, and freezing their assets, a senior Russian official warned.

The threat on Saturday by former President Dmitry Medvedev came as Russia’s ties with the West sank to new lows over its invasion of Ukraine."

Comparing Putin to Hitler is in many ways a close comparison. Lets take it a step further. What happened with Hitler? He became delusional and went way over the top and too far for even his own Nazi Army to handle. Then when everything started to deteriorate around him what happened? He killed himself. Things seem to be lining up in a sort of similar fashion with Putin. He is seemingly becoming more and more power hungry and also delusional. There is going to come a time where he will bite off more than he can chew and all will start to deteriorate around him. Whether that be when all these other countries start to come up against him and his army becomes extremely weakened. Then will he either be killed by some military or will he end up going the Hitler route in committing suicide?

...Sweden and Finland both border Russia in the Arctic Circle. Vladimir Putin is widely believed to have attacked the Ukraine after western nations mooted the idea of the country joining NATO, over fears it could end up with a US military presence on its doorstep.

A similar move by Sweden or Finland could potentially provoke similar ire.

Now what would the USA have done during the Cold War if Russia made a base on our door step in Cuba? NATO and its member nations simply had to stop encroaching on the buffer nations that Putin pleadingly complained about before the crisis for years and he would not have had a valid [in his mind] excuse to invade. Read my several inputs on the below thread that is already being addressed during interviews today on other foreign OTA tv channels. Even better beyond my terse snippets, actually go to the links and read what is being said. This did not have to happen with someone in charge of 6000 nukes that can destroy all advanced life on our planet and at a minimum is likely to end up killing myriad innocents in Ukraine.

I think Putin is showing the early signs of Dementia, much like some of our "Senior" politicians, and he is trying to cement his legacy before he becomes totally incompetent. As such, he presents a huge danger to the entire global population. I just hope there is a more sensible group in the Kremlin that will remove him from power before he creates havoc all over the world.

Yeah...we hoped that for his "buddy" here in the U.S., but it nobody had the cojones to do it! Birds of a feather!

@oldpop "A big war will thin down the worlds population and be a Boon to the economies of the world. A great reset if you will. At least this is one way to look at it." I heard that theory before, several years ago. I don't understand how war could boost global economies though.

It's Been reported that Belarus an ally of Ukraine, is to join in with Russia in an attack against Kiev..





Belarusian special forces are loading onto airplanes in preparation for an air assault on Kyiv in what would be a widening of the conflict and a declaration of war on Ukraine by dictator Alexander Lukashenko, military sources have claimed.

Ukrainian intelligence has reportedly learned from within Belarus that ‘special ops’ troops have been spotted loading up planes for a major attack.

A widening of the war to potentially include Russian ally Belarus could signal Vladimir Putin’s growing fury and frustration as the Russian campaign appears to get bogged down in fierce fighting around Kyiv and Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second biggest city. It could also run the risk of sucking in other states including NATO allies, triggering a pan-European conflict.

A senior source told the Mirror: ‘If this happens it will mean Belarus has openly joined Russia in its invasion of sovereign Ukraine. We believe they are being targeted at Kyiv and Zhytomir.’

Andriy Zagorodnyuk, Kyiv’s former defence minister, has claimed that Belarus is about to declare war on Ukraine. The Guardian quoted Zagorodnyuk as saying: ‘Republic of Belarus is highly likely to join the Russian war against Ukraine. On Russian side. There is an information about airborne troopers from Republic of Belarus loaded on the planes to enter Ukraine.

‘This is a terrible development as it involves a country, which until very recently was a great friend of Ukraine; which people always considered Ukraine as a brotherly nation. Ukraine and Belarus has never been to war one with another in their many hundred years of history.

‘We believe that the only reason for that decision was personal demand from President of Russia, which completely depends from Putin in its policy.’


The paranoid 'old man in the bunker': Isolated Putin spends time 'stewing in his own fears' after 'withdrawing into himself' during pandemic and only has contact with his inner circle ​

Questions have been raised over whether Covid-19 has fueled Vladimir Putin's paranoia after claims emerged the isolated president spent time 'stewing in his own fears' after 'withdrawing into himself' during the pandemic.
Putin reportedly only had contact with his inner circle during the pandemic, but even they were asked to present faecal samples several times a week to check for infection and, in some cases, asked to isolate for two weeks before face-to-face meeting.
It is the latest in a string of questions being asked about the Russian leader's state of mind after he announced the invasion of Ukraine in 'rambling, terrifying, apocalyptic' fashion.

Rumours surrounding the Russian leader's health have been swirling for years, with repeated reports suggesting that he is suffering from cancer and Parkinson's disease, or been affected by long Covid-19 causing 'brain fog'.
Fears were raised again yesterday after US Senator Marco Rubio appeared to suggest he believes Putin is mentally unwell in a tweet that warned it was 'pretty obvious' that 'something is off' with the Russian president amid his invasion of Ukraine.
'I wish I could share more, but for now I can say it's pretty obvious to many that something is off with #Putin', the Republican Senator for Florida wrote.
'He has always been a killer, but his problem now is different & significant It would be a mistake to assume this Putin would react the same way he would have 5 years ago.'

This is interesting.. and very forward thinking, as well as concerning if they're right, and so far it looks like they have been
..posted in the Japan Times 4 weeks ago...


With a surprise announcement in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin this past week laid down the path allowing him to wield power well past his nominal term limit of 2024. This led quickly to the resignations of the long-suffering prime minister, Dmitri Medvedev, and the entire Cabinet. Now an advisory board will suggest changes to the constitution that will almost certainly weaken whomever follows Putin as president and strengthen the office of prime minister.

It doesn’t take a Machiavelli to see what’s going on politically: easing into the power-enhanced role of prime minister when his presidential term expires is but one way Putin could now extend his reign. It will be the culmination of what people who plan strategically against Russia have predicted for years: Putin will be the czar of all the Russians for another decade and more. Only health appears likely to change the course upon which he now sails.



The questions for the United States and its global allies are clear: What does this mean for Russian grand strategy? How can they construct a modus vivendi with Putin and Russia?

Much like President Xi Jinping in China, Putin will now be able to shape events and planning indefinitely. This will mean many of his personal priorities will continue to drive Russian policy.

One has been his penchant for putting very serious pressure on weak neighbors, trying to recreate the group of buffer states (what Russians call the “near abroad”) that the Soviet Union enjoyed in the Warsaw Pact countries. Countries such as Ukraine and Georgia (both now invaded and partly occupied by Russian troops); Belarus; the “stans” of Central Asia; and Armenia will feel long-term pressure to join Russian-led customs arrangements, and receive political pressure to align themselves with Putin’s political and diplomatic moves.

Good God... 3 mile long convoy of military Vehicles heading towards Kyiv ..now this is beginning to look like WW2 pictures, this is getting scary now..

Satellite image so not great quality ...

54724899-10556975-image-m-4_1645991855781.jpg


Satellite imagery taken today showed a large deployment of Russian ground troops moving in the direction of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv from approximately 40 miles (64 km) away, a private U.S. company said.

The images released by Maxar Technologies showed a deployment comprised of hundreds of military vehicles and extending more than 3.25 miles (5 km).

The images released by Maxar - which has been tracking the buildup of Russian forces for weeks - could not be independently verified.

As Russian troops draw closer to the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv's mayor is filled with pride over his citizens' spirit but remains anxious about how long they can hold out.

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko tonight issued a chilling threat that the West's sanctions on Russia are pushing the Kremlin into a Third World War, after Vladimir Putin put his nuclear deterrent forces on 'alert'.

Lukashenko's comments came as Kyiv and Moscow agreed to hold peace talks at the border with Belarus - though Volodymyr Zelensky admitted he wasn't confident of a positive resolution, adding that he owed it to his people to at least try and engage.

This evening also saw the EU unveil a fresh package of sanctions against Putin's regime, closing off its airspace to all Russian planes and banning Kremlin propaganda outlets Russia Today and Sputnik. In response to the measures, Russian carrier Aeroflot said it was suspending all flights to Europe.

'Now there is a lot of talk against the banking sector, gas, oil, SWIFT,' Lukashenko said. 'It's worse than war. This is pushing Russia into a Third World War. We need to be restrained here so as not to get into trouble. Because nuclear war is the end of everything.'

Ukraine's health ministry said on Sunday that 352 civilians, including 14 children, had been killed since the beginning of Russia's invasion. It also said that 1,684 people, including 116 children, had been wounded

Ukrainian President Zelensky's office had earlier said the two delegations will meet 'without preconditions' near the Pripyat River, to the north of Chernobyl, in a deal brokered in a phone call with Lukashenko himself

The Ukrainian state security service has officially reported that a rocket attack on Zhytomyr Airport - located some 93 miles west of Kiev - was launched from the territory of Belarus.

Belarusian special forces were seen loading onto airplanes in preparation for an air assault on Kyiv in what could be a widening of the war, military sources stated.

Ukrainian intelligence has reportedly learned from within Belarus that ‘special ops’ troops have been spotted loading up planes for a major attack.

Videos have circulated of the explosion at Zhytomyr Airport, with reports of shockwaves nearby.

A widening of the conflict to potentially include Russian ally Belarus could signal Vladimir Putin’s growing fury and frustration as the Russian campaign appears to get bogged down in fierce fighting around Kyiv and Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second biggest city. It could also run the risk of sucking in other states including NATO allies, triggering a pan-European conflict.

In a bizarre rant on Sunday, Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko warned that the war in Ukraine will ‘become a meat grinder’.
