Putin's Moves Against Ukraine Partly Due to Telegraphed US Weakness

Feb 24, 2022

Vladimir Putin’s move into the sovereign nation of Ukraine is now in the history books. There is no stopping him from achieving exactly what he wants, regardless of any paper chase pressures from the United Nations, the G7, NATO, or any Western nation. This move was set with the telegraphing of weakness the West – and especially the United States – had to offer.

The writing was on the wall when the Biden administration allowed the Communist Chinese to subjugate the United States at their initial meeting in Alaska. Then, Chinese Communist Party foreign affairs chief Yang Jiechi told US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, “The United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength.”

From that point on, for not pushing back hard on the insult issued by the oppressive and genocidal Communist Chinese government, Russia’s Putin knew that there would be no serious repercussions coming from the United States should he decide to begin his quest to reclaim control over any and every part of the old Soviet Union.

Since both China and Russia have identified that the West is experiencing a void in leadership on the world stage, two of the more unthinkable acts have and will come to pass: Putin’s claiming of Ukraine (has) and Communist China’s claiming of Taiwan (will).

As Russia rolled military units into Ukraine the Communist Chinese not only refused to condemn Putin’s aggression but sent nine warplanes into Taiwanese air space elevating the level of aggression it has been projecting onto the sovereign nation.

President Biden’s anemic response last week to Putin’s “recognizing” the breakaway Ukrainian regions and granting military aid to their separatist leaders telegraphed that there would be no meaningful response from the United States and, thus, no real consequences for his actions.

Why This Is Important

What should be most alarming in all of this is Mr. Biden’s forced error in losing the handle on the triangulation of world power. In the coming together of Mr. Putin (Russia) and Xi Jinping (China), two nations whose governments were founded on Marxism, the world has lost the triangulated and fragile balance of power that kept violent aggression on a global scale in check. Communist China had its issues with Russia, Russia had its issues with China, and the United States nurtured those differences thus maintaining the triangulated balance.

Today, China and Russia are cooperating on the world stage and that means a 2-to-1 power imbalance to the side of totalitarian government. Even with a confident and capable US president at the helm, the challenge would be enormous.

And, although the current resident of the White House is wholly unsuited for the office and ultimately incapable of leading the free world out of the dark time in which we currently find ourselves, there is enough blame in US leadership to go around.

The leadership in the US Congress must bear some blame for putting partisan politics before the crafting of meaningful action on behalf of the American people where both Communist China and Russia are concerned. For that matter, they must bear almost all the blame for allowing unelected leaders at non-sovereign entities, like the World Economic Forum and the International Monetary Fund, to have any sway over the paths free countries take toward their futures.

This blame does not know the Left or Right side of the aisle. It only knows the whole of the Washingtonian political class who have greedily gorged themselves from the taxpayer-funded government feed trough and who have thought only of their own special interests rather than serving the people of the United States with fidelity.

Through the arrogant fixation of the Left’s addiction to transforming the United States away from being a constitutional republic and the Right’s dedication to the “it’s my turn” political status quo hierarchy that has proved to put political party ahead of good government, our political class has become so narcissistic in their self-importance that they have ceased serving the American people.

And so we have a void of leadership in a country that is supposed to not only serve its people in a representative manner – and with fidelity – but also the people of the world by being the epitomic example of that “shining city on the hill.”

This is not to say that the United States should pick up Ukraine’s battle as our own. The United States should not serve as the world’s policeman and our US military should never be seen as a go-to, ace in the hole for other countries to exploit. That practice should never have been started. But it does mean that We the People have to do a much better job of bringing statesmen to elected office, dispensing with the lazy practice of ceding elected office to the one-trick-pony activist class.

It is impossible for the United States to rally the world to our cause – in this case, coalescing to counter the totalitarian march of Communist China, Russia, and the globalist organizations who want to end the sovereignty of nations – when we exist ethically challenged, owned by special interest, and rudderless on the sea of the global stage.

In the very moments Vladimir Putin’s military started bombing Ukrainian assets and marching troops across the Ukrainian border, failed Democrat presidential candidate, former secretary of state, and 1960s activist John Kerry had the heartless audacity to say:

“I hope President Putin will help us to stay on track with respect of what we need to do for the climate...[there will be] massive emissions consequences to the war...you’re going to lose people’s focus. You’re going to lose certainly big country attention because they will be diverted. I think it could have a damaging impact.”

With people losing their lives – and their country – and the balance of power tipping into the darkness of totalitarianism; despotism that has no qualms in eradicating freedoms, enslaving people, and committing genocide, an American presidential envoy is depraved enough to focus on the false flag, economically transformative scheme of climate change.

Kerry is a perfect example of how far the United States has fallen from the ranks of leadership in the world. At this point, it's hard to see how the other free nations of the world aren't embarrassed to know us.
