    As Russian Tanks Move Toward Ukraine, The Globe Braces For World War 3

    I don't endorse the article's title. I don't see WWIII starting over the Ukraine. But it looks like Russia may invade with its military overtly. And I don't think the Ukraine can retake the Crimea.


    As Russian Tanks Move Toward Ukraine, The Globe Braces For World War 3

    Western military leaders say that they are concerned that the troop movements that we have witnessed in recent days may be leading up to an invasion, and if an invasion does happen it will greatly test the resolve of the Biden administration, EU leaders and NATO brass. In particular, the hawks in the Biden administration would almost certainly not be willing to just sit back and let the Russians conquer all of Ukraine. There would likely be a major response by the United States, and that could set off a chain reaction that could ultimately spark World War 3.

    So what made the Russians suddenly move a massive invasion force toward Ukraine?

    Well, it turns out that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky essentially signed a declaration of war against Russia on March 24th. The document that he signed is known as Decree No. 117/2021, and you won’t read anything about it in the corporate media.


    I really had to dig to find Decree No. 117/2021, but eventually I found it. I took several of the paragraphs at the beginning of the document and I ran them through Google translate…

    In accordance with Article 107 of the Constitution of Ukraine, I decree:


    1. To put into effect the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine of March 11, 2021 “On the Strategy of deoccupation and reintegration of the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol” (attached).
    2. To approve the Strategy of deoccupation and reintegration of the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol (attached).
    3. Control over the implementation of the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, enacted by this Decree, shall be vested in the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
    4. This Decree shall enter into force on the day of its publication.
    President of Ukraine V.ZELENSKY
    March 24, 2021


    Basically, this decree makes it the official policy of the government of Ukraine to retake Crimea from Russia.


    Of course the Russians will never hand over Crimea willingly because they consider it to be Russian territory, and so Ukraine would have to take it by force.


    This is essentially a declaration of war against Russia, and Zelensky would have never signed such a document without the approval of the Biden administration.


    Following the signing of Decree No. 117/2021, we started to see Russian forces pour into Crimea and into separatist-held areas of eastern Ukraine at a staggering rate.

    Wait a minute - I thought that Russia was a peaceful, non-aggressive, freedom-loving, rights-respecting non-trouble-causing country.

    The central government in Ukraine is a fascist junta that came into power by violently overthrowing the duly elected president with the help of the CIA. The eastern half of Ukraine has basically seceded. Crimea belongs to Russia now and there is absolutely nothing the fascist morons in Kiev can do about it. That the US political class is even entertaining ideas of military conflict with Russia over this issue speaks to just how insane, depraved, and criminal they are.

    If a foreign intelligence agency overthrew the government in Mexico and replaced it with a government hostile to the USA, how would you react?

    I don't know the current state of the Ukraine military, but at least recently it was made up of hired guns of various oligarchs.

    Agreed, Look Ukraine has always been part of the Russian sphere. It has no strategic value to the US, it has no resources, we have zero trade with Ukraine, no historical ties no cultural connection.. NOTHING. They and the Russians need to figure it out. What happens happens.

    Russia is not a major threat, not military or economic, and we obsess because Obama got Butt Hurt insulted by Putin.

    Meanwhile China is both and they own enough US Debt to cause havoc in our economy.



    And the idiot Woke left are worried because Trump calls it a "China Virus" when it is!
