| Joe Biden in 1997 saying that the only thing that could provoke a "vigorous and hostile" Russian response would be if NATO expanded as far as the Baltic states |

The public has been induced to embrace the Western narrative, while being kept in the dark about Washington’s ulterior motives. In his 1997 book, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives, Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote: "Ukraine, a new and important space on the Eurasian chessboard, is a geopolitical pivot because its very existence as an independent country helps to transform Russia. Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire. Russia without Ukraine can still strive for imperial status, but it would then become a predominantly Asian imperial state." |

| #8 We should always be welcoming to suggestions. Right up to the point we ignore them. |

| #6 Gratuitous insult and hectoring about topic management do not engender any interest in feeding a troll. |

| #5 Hi! The topic is: Joe Biden's speech in 1997 talking about what's relevant to today 25 years later. Is anyone there? Or are we just dealing with a stream-of-consciousness blather and verbal diarrhea? |

| #2 The way Joe and his handlers look at the calculus is that Russia is weak and now is the time to push hard on the geopolitical football field. If the current war in Ukraine can be used to bring about regime change in Moscow the new regime might be made friendly and subservient to the globalist elites in Brussels and Washington. They might be corrupted the way the Ukrainians have, the way Joe has. The European Union could then be expanded all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific. And, like they're doing in Western Europe and America, the native population will be replaced by You can remove your tin foil hats now but you can bet your butt that Putin won't. |

| #1 Pelosi has Covid. Just saw that and it prompted by suspicious nature, given the proximity to the now disastrous Obama White House return videos and the horrified reaction as people saw the true nature of the Puppet Theater we call the Biden Administration. Clearly the Hunter Biden miasma is now out of the basement sewer and sloshing around the steps leading up to 1600. It is the predicate to 25th the Puppet, but what to do about the Cackle-Jackal, who was in full display with Obama. If Pelosi exits, the House of Representatives can elect a new Speaker, and what if the name were Rice or even Obama? There is no prohibition for someone outside Congress to be elected to that post. Once the #3 position in succession is fixed, Jojo can be dumped, especially if some form of Modus Vivendi is reached with Harris to follow the script, or take a very very lucrative lifetime career elsewhere. Either way, the door might be opened for an Obama 3.5. Alternatively, if Harris could be bought off very soon, nothing prevents Obama from being voted by Congress as a replacement Vice President, and then, Jojo departs by the end of 2022 and poof, two more years as President for the Magic Kenyan. An in 2024, Big Mike is the candidate with the de-facto co-presidency sales pitch. Six more years of Change You Can Believe In to transform the country! This is the stuff of a fever swamp nightmare, and yet.... |
