It is time. The time has come. For this has gone on for far too long now.
Vladimir Putin had been up all night long with his security council. Creepy Joe had kept him on edge all autumn long, ever since Joe botched Trump’s perfect Afghanistan withdrawal, doing as Obama warned he would do, as only he could do. With even Thoroughly Modern Milley protesting, Joe insisted Bagram be evacuated before the civilians.
Who can forget those horrific images of desperate people hanging onto the airplanes? Flashbacks to the unspeakable terror of 9/11. The middle finger to the world as caskets arrived, Joe demonstrably checking his watch again and again.
All the while heroes like Lara Logan worked with little or no sleep for weeks on end, trying to rescue the betrayed people that Joe didn't care about.
Who can forget?
You knew he was going to stir the pot with Russia. You knew it.
You knew it right then if not earlier. Joe, Obama’s point man for Kiev, had installed his crackhead son there. Toria handed out cookies and directed things on location, but Toria reported to Joe. Joe was the boss.
And so, all autumn long, after the botched withdrawal, Joe poked the bear.
Poke poke poke.
Putin had been very careful back in 2014 not to give Joe the chance. Putin sent convoy after convoy with humanitarian aid to the poor people of the Donbass, and he wanted to protect them from the Nazis who kept shelling them, but he knew that was precisely what the neocons wanted. Now Joe was going for broke - he had to. He'd made a complete mess of Afghanistan, living up to his reputation, midterms looming, his re-selection in jeopardy.
You saw what Joe Biden was doing all autumn long and you expected it. You knew exactly what he was doing.
The Minsk Agreements. Who remembers them? Putin wanted the West to follow the Minsk Agreements. That’s why everyone signed them. But no one followed them.
Then word came that the Servant of the People was planning an invasion. That's right: Kiev was about to invade Donbass. And perhaps beyond, into Rostov, into Russia. Putin convened the security council. He'd just given a major policy speech three days earlier. Now it was time for another.
The speech was televised on RT, beginning shortly before 06:00 MSK. The speech was timed so that the announcement of the 'Special Military Operation' (SMO) would come at precisely 06:00, which was when the forces of the RF were to enter the Ukraine.
The clueless West was of course the clueless West. They somehow didn't prepare for being found out. Their secret bioweapons labs? They had to scramble. The Russians got there anyway. Nuland had to do cleanup with Marco Rubio. Things that Dilyana in Bulgaria had been reporting for years, things that of course were ignored by the New York Times and the Washington Post: they were now exposed to the world.
The science of warfare says that an invading force must be three times the size of its target. Russia entered the Ukraine with a force only one third the size of its target. Or one ninth the size needed. The Russians weren't there to carpet-bomb. Their presence was a show of force.
The tactic would have worked. Within a month and a half, Turkey got Zelensky to agree to a peace deal with Russia. And everything would have been fine, had not Britain's blundering buffoon Boris Johnson been flown into Kiev to stop him - acting on behalf of Joe Biden of course. Who was acting on the advice of Sullivan and Nuland, who'd also been key players in the 2014 Kiev coup.
(Word has it Hillary Rodham was also involved, losing her temper over the rumour that peace was close at hand. Hillary started believing her own lies about Russia and wanted to exact revenge, it was said.)
Zelensky was also under pressure from Dmitro’s Bandera-style Right Sector, threatening to hang him from a downtown lamppost if he stepped out of line.
Nevertheless: from that moment on, late March / early April 2022, had there been any doubts beforehand, there were none anymore.
This was Joe Biden's war.
Now, in July 2023, so many months and hundreds of thousands of lives later, despite all the promises and threats he's heard, Zelensky is no better than the hired help, probably not even of the status of a history teacher, shunned by a NATO who simultaneously will of course not admit to having shunned him, and barking at him threateningly as soon as he starts whimpering in pain.
Word has it that the Military Industrial Complex couldn't let him go on any longer, as their fancy and very expensive toys started looking like the shite they really are when put to the test on the battlefield.
Now even the infamous Zelenska, Zelensky's wife, doesn't seem to want to have anything to do with her comedian husband anymore. Alex Christoforou of the Duran predicts that, should things get even worse for Zelensky, he'll find himself dropped like the dead weight he's so quickly become.
Agent Zelensky, Part 1
This all plays back like an Ink Factory miniseries. But Zelensky's no angel. Here's part one of Scott Ritter's exposé of the 'Servant of the People'.

People may feel shocked with all the recent revelations about the ‘Biden Crime Family’ but they shouldn’t be - it’s been an open secret in the Beltway for fifty years what a two-bit crook Biden is.
