This is what they had planned in 2017, when Hillary was supposed to be president and US troops poured into the Baltics. The "infrastructure hacking" lie was going to be used to start a war and it's not far to Moscow.
But Trump ruined their plans and postponed everything for five years. Now the plan is back. It's like when they tried for years to invade Iraq, but had to wait until 2003 to start the war.
Invest in weapons manufacturers. They're going to provide some spectacular returns to investors for a few quarters.

The FDR model of incremental involvement. Sort of got overridden by an Asian power. Then they sweated it for a week trying to get America focused on Europe only to have it handed to them by the Axis powers there declaring war. Once is a tragedy, twice is a farce.

Yeah, it was kinda slow for a while after Afghanistan but looks to be gaining steam now.
And, of course, we need regime change in Washington a whole lot more than we need it in Moscow.
But I'm still not sure Tucker has it right. Even with Democrats, it's too much of a stretch to believe they want revenge for the 2016 hacking. They'd crow about it if they got it but I still think they want to control the whole world, spread their sick socialist ideology all over the planet and suck the blood out of ordinary people everywhere. Extending NATO all the way to Vladivostok and getting a seat on the Gazprom board of directors for Hunter would be excellent steps in that direction.
Right now they think Putin is weak, he might be sick and his army is pathetic so they're gonna go for it. Forget the real threat which is China. They're all in bed with the CCP anyway, for now. (The CCP would be wise not to trust them.) They sense opportunity in Russia.

God knows I love a great conspiracy theory, but this one scares me deeply because so many of the events are actually happening:
By lurching incrementally to the edge of war with Russia, the Puppet Show is setting up the possibility of a National Emergency/Martial Law declaration that allows for the suspension of the Mid-Terms, habeas corpus, and those pesky individual rights defined by the Constitution, and effectively ends the Red Wave threat to Imperial Power. Ultimately, it would be the causus belli for civil war, and steps taken in recent history by DHS and the FBI to define the "greatest threat to America" being white supremacists and right wing extremist seems suddenly preparatory.
I can see no other reasoning for the path to nuclear confrontation with a mobilized Russia on a war footing.

One good point Tucker made is that nobody is mounting a diplomatic effort to de-escalate the conflict in Ukraine. All of the politicians in Washington are calling instead for escalation. Nobody is calling for negotiations. The only conclusion I can draw from that is that they really want war.

The Really Big Lie that Carlson and Biden are both cooperating in telling is that Biden wants to and is going to war with Russia. Check the article I just posted about Blinken talking about Russia's next funding request.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.
[ColonelCassad] Eight years ago, the Nazis killed several dozen residents of Odessa.
Together with the dead, the old post-Soviet Ukraine burned down with the House of Trade Unions.
After eight years, full-fledged military operations are underway on the territory of the Nazi freak that arose on the site of the burned-out Ukraine. Attempts to coexist with Nazism or to negotiate with him, did not bring results. As usual, he brought war with him.
As usual, Nazism has sponsors in the West who use it to their advantage. Therefore, calls to think again and look at "whom you created and support" do not work. The instrumental approach to supporting Nazism does not require morality, but requires the most familiar hypocrisy and double standards. Therefore, turning a blind eye to the brutality of the Nazis then, all the more easily in the "civilized West" close their eyes to their crimes now.
Therefore, no one can carry out denazification in Ukraine, except for ourselves.
[RIA Novosti] Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova condemned the silence of Russian stars who left because of the special operation.
She noted that "without money, their patriotism cannot be stirred up."
"And now I have a question: who of those who have abruptly left now for vacation because of extreme fright, at least once, even briefly said about this (the tragedy in Odessa in 2014) in their programs, Telegram channels and Instagram * accounts?," asked Zakharova, having published earlier statements of the department about the tragedy in the Telegram channel.
She drew a parallel with the trips of Western celebrities to Ukraine.
"Angelina Jolie went to Lviv. Empathize. No one believes in her sincerity. And which of our media personalities, socialites and social activists of all stripes, at least mentioned Odessa? Or won't you raise advertising money for this?" She emphasized.
She also drew attention to the fact that some Russian stars ignored the events in the House of Trade Unions, and the situation in Bucha was "sorted out instantly."
"I don’t believe in their sincerity either. I believe that without money their “real patriotism” cannot be stirred up, and when the Fatherland, without demanding anything from them, just expects decent behavior, they are sharply fetidly frightened," summed up Zakharova.
Earlier, American media reported that American actress Angelina Jolie , who is a special envoy of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees ( UNHCR ), is in the city of Lviv as part of a "personal" visit to the region.
In Odessa, after the coup d'état in Ukraine in 2014, anti-Maidan activists set up a tent camp on Kulikovo field as a sign of protest.
On the afternoon of May 2, brawls began between anti-Maidan activists on the one hand and football ultras from Kharkov and Odessa, as well as Euromaidan participants, on the other. The fight ended with the destruction of the tent city, after which supporters of the coup d'état and nationalists set fire to the House of Trade Unions, in which representatives of the "anti-Maidan" took refuge. The victims of the tragedy that day were 48 people, more than 250 were injured.
International organizations have repeatedly pointed out to Kiev the lack of progress in the investigation of this tragedy and demanded that the Ukrainian authorities punish those responsible for the death of people. The trial in the case is dragging on and the investigation has actually done nothing for eight years to clarify all the circumstances of the tragedy.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.
[ColonelCassad] 1. All evacuees from Azovstal go through a check of documents and personal data.
2. If there are questions, then such people are delayed until all points are clarified.
3. Nobody will let anyone go without verification. Filtration is a mandatory procedure for everyone who leaves Azovstal.
4. The attempts of the Nazis to dress up as civilians are well known, many of these have already been caught at checkpoints during the fighting in the city.
5. The special services are interested in catching such people - on the one hand, this is the replenishment of the exchange fund, on the other hand, the opportunity to catch those who have been prosecuted in the DPR for war crimes.
6. The official position on the military - either captured or in the ground.
[REGNUM] Dozens of foreign citizens are still being held hostage as human shields by nationalists in Ukraine. This was announced on May 2 by Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev , head of the National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation, at a briefing.
“ Ukrainian nationalists continue to hold 90 foreign citizens from five states hostage as human shields ,” he said.
As REGNUM reported on May 2, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Major General Igor Konashenkov , said at a briefing that the aviation of the Aerospace Forces (VKS) of Russia had hit another 13 strongholds of Ukraine in a day.
[Babylon Bee] HADES—Ever since hearing the news of President Biden creating a 'Disinformation Governance Board', George Orwell has been really kicking himself for not thinking of it first.
"He nailed it, absolutely nailed it," said a dejected Mr. Orwell. "It sounds grimly clinical and impersonal, yet threatening. It really is a much better title than 'Ministry of Truth'. I don't know how, but this Biden guy managed to become more Orwellian than, well, me - George Orwell."
Mr. Orwell also expressed incredulity at the discovery of Nina Jankowicz to lead the Board. "I could have spent a thousand lifetimes and never come up with such a perfect character," said Mr. Orwell. "It's a top-shelf villain name. Then you have the woman deliver vicious pronouncements of what may or may not be spoken by her cheerfully singing to the tune of a children's song—a song famously sung by an omnipotent nanny while the parents are gone? Very twisted. How do they come up with these ideas?"
While feeling that Biden's ideas had been partially plagiarized from his work, Mr. Orwell did give him credit for the very original idea of destroying gender and sexual identity. "Of course, The Party wants to be stronger than family ties, but the best I could come up with was a direct attack on the act of sex itself. These liberals have done me one better, and instead attacked the very reality of humans having a sexual nature as male and female...I just never even conceived of such an audacious attempt to bully people into something so incomprehensible. Well played, Leftists. Well played."
At publishing time, Mr. Orwell was dumbfounded to learn that U.N. soldiers dispatched to war are called "peacekeepers", freedom to speak is considered "racism", and remaining silent instead of voicing agreement with Party beliefs is called "violence".

...I am wondering why the Bee has Mr. Blair (AKA George Orwell) in Hades. He was a serious lefty in his youth, but after his experiences in the Spanish Civil War he repented - Animal Farm and 1984 show very clearly where his thinking had moved to.
