It's actually quite DISTURBINGLY Mind Blowing when one sees how successful the Media has been over the years in convincing SO MANY MILLIONS OF INDIVIDUALS that what they "Report" is Factual and those MILLIONS OF INDIVIDUALS have just generally been prepared to accept it without question.
A recent classic example is how it has been reported that Russia has "100,000+ Troops directly on the border of Ukraine and an invasion by Russia of Ukraine is IMMINENT" .......... DESPITE the fact that no such thing EXISTS.
Russia does not have 100,000+ Troops within spitting distance of Ukraine's border. Russia DOES HAVE its troops stationed in their forward barracks, approximately 100+ kilometers from Ukraine's border, and they are at the ready IF Ukraine decides to send its Military forces into the DONBAS Region to attempt to take over the two breakaway states of the DONETSK and LUHANSK who are aligned with Russia.
Whenever some "Expert(?)" commentator comes on TV and is questioned about the "situation" in Ukraine, the FIRST THING that they refer to are those 100,000+ Russian troops on Ukraine's border !!!
Even the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, HAS PUBLICLY TOLD THE WORLD, AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA, THAT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF 100,000+ RUSSIAN TROOPS ON HIS COUNTRY'S BORDER !!!! ..............And if ANYONE should know then HE F*CKING-WELL SHOULD KNOW !!!! ........
And DESPITE Zelensky saying what he has said, YOU STILL HAVE COMMENTATORS TALKING SHIT and you still have MILLIONS of people who are swallowing the Media's CRAP !!!! ....... JEEZ !!!!

As I write this it's 00:11 in Moscow and 23:11 in Kiev, Ukraine ........... So what happened to the "INVASION": of Ukraine that Biden and his Inept, "Out-Of-Their-Depth" Lackeys, such as Jake Sullivan, have been TRUMPETING about FOR WEEKS ........ and not to mention that other "TRUMPETING" that also came from Biden's lap dog, "Bad-Hair-Day" Boris Johnson ???!!!
JEEZ ...... What a bunch of Highly Overpaid, Globalist Arseholes .....
Anyway, here is Alexander Mercouris who puts that whole sorry saga into perspective .........

Latest Marxist/Fascist Style, Dictatorial Action taken by those SUCKING at the HIND TIT of the DEMENTED DEMOCRATS .......
So, what is needed here, IMO, by the PATRIOTIC, FREEDOM-LOVING, LAW-ABIDING, GENERALLY CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS, is for them to adopt the same DETERMINATION, AS ONE SEES WITH THE PEACEFUL PROTESTING CANADIAN TRUCKERS, and to put that DETERMINATION into EFFECTIVE ACTIONS.
And those ACTIONS, among others are :-
1) A PARALLEL ECONOMY must be created in those areas identified as areas that the Marxists/Fascists can utilize to suppress GENUINE DEMOCRACY and ADHERENCE TO THE US CONSTITUTION, e.g. Social Media, Banks, Communication Channels, etc, etc.
2) A FINANCIALLY SPONSORED SET OF LEGAL TEAMS who can attack, from a legal position, ANY GROUP, BUSINESS, etc, who Attack, Harass, Accuse, Deprive, etc, those Americans who are acting perfectly within their Constitutional Rights. The Far Leftists, the Fascists, the Marxists, the Demented Democrats must be made ACUTELY AWARE that there is a LEGAL FORCE at hand who will IMMEDIATELY CHALLENGE their Dictatorial Actions.
3) PEACEFUL PROTESTS must be arranged, planned and managed, preferably outside the Headquarters, of those Institutions in (2) above so that they are EXPOSED AND TARGETED and Far More of the General Public are MADE AWARE of their DICTATORIAL, MARXIST/FASCIST TENDENCIES.
IMO, if PATRIOTIC, FREEDOM-LOVING, LAW-ABIDING, GENERALLY CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS want to Preserve their Republic, their Chosen Culture and Way of Life, their Inherent Freedoms, etc, they must be prepared to ACT in Greater Unison with Unwavering Enthusiasm and Determination similar to the SPIRIT and UNWAVERING PRINCIPLES expressed by those thousands in Canada.
Expecting others to carry the Burden while one remains an "Observer" is a Recipe for SUCCUMBING TO THE "ENSLAVEMENT" INHERENT IN MARXISM ANS FASCISM.
NO MORE PUSSYFOOTING AROUND !!!!!!!!

As Alexander Mercouris mentioned in The Duran video BELOW (at around 7:05) the Biden administration will now go for Sanctions against Russia and it seems that Nord Stream 2 is "finished" ....... Well, so be it.
I don't think Vladimir Putin cares much about that seeing as it was Germany that WANTED it, and NEEDED it, and PLEADED with Russia for it, a la Angela Merkel !!!
There's also no doubt that Putin knew EXACTLY that the "Biden Team" would impose those sanctions that they've been trumpeting about when he declared that Russia will recognize the two breakaway states in the Donbas in Ukraine, but he couldn't care less. I'd say he has finally had enough of the West's BULLSHIT.
Russia has developed itself over the last decade or so into a self-sufficient country, plus doing very lucrative trades with Eastern countries and others as in India, etc....., so Russia doesn't actually need the West.
In fact, maybe Putin should do some of his Own Sanctioning against his adversaries in Western Europe which may WAKE THEM UP and get them to start behaving as Sovereign countries no longer under the "whip" of NEOCONS and Marxist-Inclined administrations in the USA and to stop "taking orders" from them.
Maybe Putin should SANCTION Gas supplies to Europe by, say, 50%, PLUS Confirm that Nord Stream 2 is cancelled so NO GAS to Germany and her neighbors. I look forward to the reactions of the MAJOR GERMAN INDUSTRIALISTS when all of this SINKS IN !!!
I suspect the Coffers of certain German Political Parties are going to suffer SEVERE FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION CUT-BACKS from their Industrialist Donors if the relevant Politicians don't rapidly remove their Heads from their Arses !!!
And when the Europeans are NEXT FREEZING THEIR ARSES OFF IN WINTER AND PAYING THROUGH THEIR NECKS FOR FUEL, they may then decide to STOP THEIR CRAP with Russia and start behaving like good, constructive neighbours, INSTEAD OF LACKEYS TO THE LIKES OF BIDEN & Co., who actually DON'T GIVE A F*CK FOR THE EU's WELFARE ........ and that MOST CERTAINLY INCLUDES UKRAINE AS WELL !!!

As soon as the hundreds of thousands of people in the Donbas region of Ukraine heard that Russia had recognized their Independent Status and would be there to assist them in a time of ANY conflict, THERE WAS CHEERING AND JOY BEING EXPRESSED IN THE STREETS, because they would now, no longer, have to duck into their basements when they heard the sounds of PROJECTILES HEADING IN THEIR DIRECTION FROM THE MILITARY OF THAT EX-COMEDIAN ZELENSKY AND INNOCENT PEOPLE GETTING KILLED !!!
And what do the VILE, WAR-MONGERING "HUMAN(?)" TRASH in the Biden administration and within that EU CABAL and that NATO "Relic" do ??? ...... They immediately start dishing out SANCTIONS against Russia, as well as against the independent breakaway states of the Donetsk and Luhansk, ... and that weak-kneed buffoon of a German chancellor puts a hold on the certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas supply pipeline from Russia to Germany !!! .......
Well, should the German population end up freezing their arses off in the next winter and paying through the neck for the little energy that they may have, one hopes that they will remember who caused them that problem and kick him and the rest of his "cohorts" out into the cold at the next German general election !!!
Just goes to show, NONE OF THEM GIVES A F*CK for the peoples of Ukraine, or anywhere else for that matter, where they cannot EXERT EXTERNAL CONTROL OF THE AFFAIRS OF ANY COUNTRY OF THEIR CHOOSING !!!

People need to UNDERSTAND that Vladimir Putin is not interested in "ANNEXING" or "TAKING OVER UKRAINE BY SOME ALL-ENGULFING INVASION". Russia does not NEED Ukraine. Russia is a virtually self-sufficient country. There is NOTHING that Russia "wants" from Ukraine.
ALL THAT VLADIMIR PUTIN HAS INSISTED ON FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS IS THAT UKRAINE ABIDE BY ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE MINSK AGREEMENT (i.e. UN RESOLUTION 2202, AGREED TO BY THE USA AND ALL THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL, WHICH MAKES IT INTERNATIONAL LAW) WHICH REQUIRED UKRAINE TO ENTER INTO DISCUSSIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE 2 BREAKAWAY REPUBLICS OF THE DONETSK AND LUHANSK AND THEREBY PRODUCE A REVISED AND AGREED-TO CONSTITUTION FOR UKRAINE.
Unfortunately NO Western country, INCLUDING FRANCE AND GERMANY, who, together with Russia in 2015 got Ukraine to sign the MINSK AGREEMENT, have been prepared to put sufficient pressure on the Government of Ukraine to abide by their Obligations.
I suspect that if Donald Trump, as president, had also not been prepared to see Russia's side of this situation regarding Ukraine's Obligations and had not been prepared to put pressure on Ukraine in that regard, resulting in the Genocide against Russian-Speaking and Russian-Aligned Ukrainians in the Donetsk and Luhansk breakaway Republics by Neo-Nazis, Vladimir Putin would have done much the same as he has done in recent weeks.
But I also suspect that Donald Trump would have been prepared to sit down with Vladimir Putin and to OBJECTIVELY listen to Russia's side of the story and would not have gone the way of "Obama-Puppet" Biden, "Bad-Hair-Day" Boris Johnson and the rest of those "War Mongering Arseholes" !!
And now, the situation in Ukraine has deteriorated into the following ........................
Due to the INIQUITOUS, SYCOPHANTIC, ANTI-RUSSIAN BIAS OF THE LEFTIST MSM, VERY FEW HAVE EVEN HEARD, OR KNOW ANYTHING, of the FAR RIGHT, EXTREMIST GROUP IN UKRAINE KNOWN AS THE "AZOV MOVEMENT" Here is who they are ----> "Azov Special Operations Detachment, often known as Azov Detachment, Azov Regiment, or Azov Battalion, is a right-wing extremist and neo-Nazi Ukrainian National Guard unit, based in Mariupol, in the Azov Sea coastal region. It saw its first combat experience recapturing Mariupol from pro-Russian separatists forces in June 2014".
It is PRIMARILY this outfit who have been doing the indiscriminate shelling and bombarding of the two breakaway Republics of the Russian-Speaking, Russian-Aligned Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the Donbas, thereby killing MANY innocent civilians resulting in thousands of women and their children to flee to the safety of Russia.
Vladimir Putin, after getting nowhere for OVER 7 YEARS with the West in insisting that Ukraine abide BY ITS OBLIGATIONS under the MINSK AGREEMENT, which is UN RESOLUTION 2202 (2015), and thereby INTERNATIONAL LAW, approved by the USA, finally decided, with the approval of the Russian Security Council, to recognize the Donetsk and Luhansk Republics and let them know that if they requested Russian Assistance then Russia would come to their aid ...... AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS UNDERWAY AT THE PRESENT TIME !!!!!!!!!!! ....
And with regard to the Nazi-like AZOV elements, that is EXACTLY WHY Vladimir Putin said in a recent interview that the Russian military is out to "DE-NAZIFY" Ukraine. In other words Vladimir Putin knows the INFLUENCE that AZOV has over Zelensky, especially within Ukraine's military.
So Putin has sent the Russian military into the Donbas region in order to surround and defeat and remove the AZOV military element and thereby stop their Genocidal actions against the peoples of the Donetsk and Luhansk.
The Russian military has also encircled Kiev to prevent AZOV units from heading South to the Donbas region as well as to stop any further military equipment being flown in from the "West" to boost their AGGRESSIVE MILITARY ACTIONS.
I'm afraid the collective knowledge and understanding by most Western citizenry is SADLY LACKING with regard to the Demographics in Ukraine and what has transpired since the duly elected former President of Ukraine WAS OVERTHROWN in an ILLEGAL COUP, backed by the USA and other EU countries, and replaced by the ex-comedian Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is weak, inexperienced and inept and who is extremely antagonist towards Russia and any Russian speaking people within Ukraine and who has been powerless to react effectively against the Nazi-like AZOV "National Guard" who are, by their nature, fiercely ANTI-RUSSIAN !!!!
In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the CIA have been "collaborating" and "colluding" with the AZOV Neo-Nazis in order to INCITE a reaction from Russia and thereby fulfill the "Biden, UK, EU and NATO Prophecy" about a "Russian Invasion" of Ukraine. This is what the CIA has been so good at over the decades when it came to orchestrating a "REGIME CHANGE" within foreign countries.
Russia has NO INTENTION of "Invading" the whole of Ukraine and "Annexing it". Russia is out to rid that country of the NEO-NAZIS as represented by the AZOV "Brigade" who have been supplied with military equipment by the "West" and who are hell-bent in attacking and eliminating ALL UKRAINIANS WHO ARE RUSSIAN SPEAKING AND RUSSIA ALIGNED IN UKRAINE !!!!
Once Russia has achieved that it's my contention that the Russian military will leave Ukraine in much the same way that THEY LEFT GEORGIA after they had sorted out the "UNNECESSARY SHIT" that was going on there and left Georgia to run its own country and its own affairs, AS IN ------>
"The Russo-Georgian War was a war between Georgia, Russia and the Russian-backed self-proclaimed republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The war took place in August 2008 following a period of worsening relations between Russia and Georgia, both formerly constituent republics of the Soviet Union."
So there we had a similar situation where Russian-Speaking and Russian-Aligned Georgians were being persecuted by Anti-Russian elements within Georgia. So Russia went in, SORTED THE SHIT OUT, AND LEFT, ...... THEY NEVER INVADED OR ANNEXED OR TOOK OVER THE WHOLE COUNTRY OR GOVERNMENT OF GEORGIA !!!
I have suggested and encouraged folk ,who are interested to know what is ACTUALLY GOING ON IN UKRAINE, to tune into THE DURAN, as well as to tune into the separate channels of the two contributors, ALEXANDER MERCOURIS and ALEX CHRISTOFOROU. Alexander is particularly well informed of events, etc, in Western and Eastern Europe and especially in Russia, including its past history. They can all be found on Youtube, RUMBLE, LOCALS, etc.......

It must also be noted that the PRIME FOCUS of the Biden Cabal was NOT on any concern that they said that they had for the Ukrainians, BUT WAS BASED SOLELY ON THEIR DETERMINATION TO END THE NORD STREAM 2 PIPELINE transporting Natural Gas to Germany, especially, and to Europe from Russian gas fields.
Biden & Co. knew full well that there was nothing that the USA could do to stop Nord Stream 2 ...... ONLY GERMANY COULD STOP NORD STREAM 2 !!! ..... and to "Force" Germany to do that the USA would have had to enforce SANCTIONS on Germany which they would most certainly not want to do at this stage of the Proceedings.
That was why Biden & Co. tried to get Germany to commit stopping Nord Stream 2 if Ukraine was "Invaded".
Initially the German Chancellor Scholz was not prepared to tie the end of Nord Stream 2 to an invasion of Ukraine probably because, at that stage, he and many others, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE, saw No Evidence of Russian Troops "MASSING" on the Ukraine border.
So things needed to "GET HOT" ....... THAT MEANT major aggression being shown against the breakaway Republics in the Donbas which included Mortar and Artillery shells flying indiscriminately into the Russian-Aligned states of Donetsk and Luhansk killing innocent civilians.
When Russia decided that Enough was Enough and moved to protect these Russia-Aligned states, that was the signal FOR THE TOTAL CONDEMNATION BY THE WEST AND THE TOTAL SCREECHING BY THE WEST THAT "RUSSIA WAS INVADING ALL OF UKRAINE", despite the fact that Russia was targeting the NEO-NAZI Elements that were involved with all the Military Aggression !!!
A rather Inept and Inexperienced Chancellor Scholz, after some "prodding" by Biden & Co., then came out and stated that Certification of the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline was SUSPENDED ......... AND as a result Biden & Co., the NEOCONS, the suppliers/producers of LNG gas in the USA GOT WHAT THEY WANTED. So as far as they were concerned Ukraine was out the window and would be left to fend for itself ....... They No longer GAVE A F**K for Ukraine and its peoples.
At the end of the day those who will suffer from the SUSPENSION Nord Stream 2 will be the Germans and Western Europe because they will be PAYING THROUGH THE NECK FOR THEIR ENERGY because the supply of a much cheaper Natural Gas from Russia will be replaced with FAR MORE EXPENSIVE LNG FROM THE USA and MAYBE, TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, FROM QATAR.
But NOT ONLY is LNG more expensive to purchase than long term piped Natural Gas, it also has to be processed once delivered by supply ships, AND THE PROCESSING FACILITIES IN GERMANY ARE AT CAPACITY AND CANNOT PROCESS THE GAS ANY FASTER OR IN GREATER QUANTITIES.
So as the demand for Energy goes up in Germany and in Europe, the supply will be severely REDUCED if the supply of Natural Gas from Russia is reduced, ESPECIALLY AFTER 2015/2016 when the supply of Natural Gas to Europe from Russia, via pipelines crossing Ukraine, comes to an end !!!
It should also be noted that at the present time Europe has ONLY ABOUT 4.7% OF ITS GAS RESERVES LEFT IN ITS UNDERGROUND STORAGE FACILITIES and winter hasn't yet come to an end ------>
