Putin Finds Some Unlikely Allies in the United States Congress
The Squad and the Democratic Socialists of America.
18 comments
Everyone knows that The Squad in the House of Representatives is so far to the Left as to make Stalin look like a John Bircher, but would they go so far as to cheerlead for a former KGB man’s war of aggression? It looks as if the answer is yes.
“The Democrats,” Stephen Kruiser observed on Feb. 21, “were lurching leftward long before the arrival of AOC and her gang. What they’ve done though is help drag the party so far to the lunatic fringe left that whatever passes for center with them these days is probably somewhere in Cuba.” Or, say, Moscow. Putin, after all, has called the fall of the Soviet Union a “tragedy” for “most citizens,” and said it was “the greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century.”
In October 2020, Putin praised the Democrat Party for being “traditionally closer to the so-called liberal values, closer to Social Democratic ideas, if compared to Europe. And it was from the Social Democratic environment that the Communist Party evolved.” He went on to reveal: “I still like many of these left-wing values. Equality and fraternity. What is bad about them? In fact, they are akin to Christian values. Yes, they are difficult to implement, but they are very attractive, nevertheless.”
What’s for a good Squad member not to like in all that, except maybe the reference to detested “Christian values”? And so the New York Postreported Saturday that “comrades in ‘The Squad’ have bent over backwards in the House of Representatives to defend Vladimir Putin, voting against sanctions on Russian oil and parroting Kremlin talking points.”
For at least one of the far-Left Squad members, the winsome and patriotic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu), this may represent a hard-headed business decision: Omar “has family with business interests in Russia and its oil industry. Omar’s father, Nur Omar Mohamed, was a colonel in the Somali army during the 1970s and 1980s under the Soviet-backed regime of dictator Siad Barre. During that time he received a military education in the Soviet Union, according to an obituary.”
That’s not all. “Omar’s brother-in-law, Mohamed Keynan, served as a government spokesman and then later as chief of staff to former Somalian Prime Minister Hassan Khaire. Khaire is known in the West for all but giving his country’s oil reserves to Putin, according to news reports.” Well, then, why not Ukraine?
To be sure, Ilhan Omar did condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but still came out against sanctions, explaining: “I don’t support broad based sanctions on any country. They are economic warfare and we should all oppose them like we oppose military actions. Also, as humans who are interconnected to other humans globally, we will directly or indirectly be impacted by it.” Well, sure, especially those of us who have family members involved with Russia’s oil industry. She and Rep. Cori Bush (D-Race-Baiting) were the only two Democrats in the House who voted against sanctions on Russian oil.
But Omar is not alone among Squad members in wanting to go easy on Putin. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Ditzville) tweeted and then deleted a call to “avoid sanctions” because they would “hurt the Ukrainian people.” The Post pointed out that this stance “echoed Russia’s own propaganda network, RT which blared in February that ‘Anti-Russia sanctions are threat to Ukraine too.’”
But the Squad’s concern about sanctions hurting regular working people is selective and inconsistent. The Post notes that “the concern for sanctions on ordinary civilians does not extend to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel — which all Squad members either openly support or have expressed sympathy toward.”
Of course, they have. The Squad’s line may come from a higher power: “All four women are closely aligned to the Democratic Socialists of America, which has stood steadfastly with Russia during the conflict and blamed the war on US Imperialism. None have moved to distance themselves from the organization’s stance.”
Why should they? They know that the establishment media will back them up whatever they do, and Old Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are afraid to cross them. Ultimately, their self-serving opposition to tough measures against Russia may actually serve a good purpose in forcing the Democrat leadership to tamp down some of the war hysteria that is running so high these days. This could be the most valuable service for Americans that the Squad ever performs, and it’s of course no surprise that it would be unintentional.

Nolte: Joe Biden’s Dangerously Gaffetastic European Blunder Tour
Never in history have we seen an American president fire off a litany of dangerous gaffes like His Fraudulency Joe Biden did during his just-completed European tour.
Over just a few days, Biden told the world American troops were headed to fight the war in Ukraine, America was prepared to use chemical weapons against Russia, and America wanted regime change in Russia.
So no one can accuse me of taking Grandpa McRapey out of context; here are the full quotes:
Biden telling US troops stationed in Poland they are headed to Ukraine…
You’re going to see when you’re there, and some of you have been there, you’re gonna see — you’re gonna see women, young people standing in the middle in front of a damned tank just saying, ‘I’m not leaving, I’m holding my ground.
Biden’s promise to use chemical weapons…
QUESTION: Could — if chemical weapons were used in Ukraine, would that trigger a military response from NATO?
THE PRESIDENT: It would re- — it would trigger a response in kind, whether or not — you’re asking whether NATO would cross; we’d make that decision at the time.
Biden pledging regime change in Russia…
A dictator bent on rebuilding an empire will never erase a people’s love for liberty. Brutality will never grind down their will to be free. Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia — for free people refuse to live in a world of hopelessness and darkness.
We will have a different future — a brighter future rooted in democracy and principle, hope and light, of decency and dignity, of freedom and possibilities.
For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.
As if that regime change statement is not bad enough on its own, that was Biden’s closing line. That’s how he closed his speech, by calling for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be removed from power.
With respect to Russia, we’re not only talking about a massive nuclear power; we’re talking about a war in Ukraine in which we have no national interests. Now, before you all start cry-babying over democracy! and Putin! of course, we want to see Ukraine remain sovereign. Of course, we want to see Putin bloodied and humiliated. But that’s an emotional reaction to his appalling aggression. As far as geopolitics, what happens to Ukraine is not our problem.
Nevertheless, here’s the doddering, enfeebled, low IQ President of the United States running around Europe saying 1) American troops are headed into Ukraine, 2) America is ready to use chemical weapons against Russia, and 3) there must be regime change in Russia.
And then the rinse-wash-repeat cycle begins.
The White House clears its throat and clarifies the president’s dangerous ad-libs as nothingburgers.
Then Biden, as he did yesterday, tells the world that our ears are lying to us, that he never said those things.
The danger here is not that the world believes Biden will send troops into Ukraine with chemical weapons to unseat Putin. The danger is the world, including Putin, knows Biden is not mentally fit to be president. He’s weak, scattered, unsure, and shouting belligerence like a confused nursing home patient.
This is almost certainly why Putin chose now to invade Ukraine. Putin knows he’s dealing with a weak and enfeebled American president. The same with former President Barack Obama. Putin knew he could get away with invading Crimea with President Redline in office.
Believe me, Putin’s four-year invasion pause during the Trump years was no coincidence.
I know we’re all focused on the upcoming 2022 midterms and somewhat focused on what will happen during the 2024 presidential election. And in many ways, that’s a good thing. The release valve of national elections every two years is one of the most genius aspects of the U.S. Constitution. But what we cannot forget is Joe Biden will be president for close to three more years. We’re only through the first quarter of his presidency, and he is deteriorating before our eyes. He was always a corrupt moron, but now he’s a 79-year-old president entering senility.
Worse still, he’s a 79-year-old president entering senility protected by billions of corporate media dollars and who can only be replaced with Vice President Cackly McMoron.
Three more years of this? Talk about “the significance of the passage of time”… and the need to stock up on canned goods.

THERE IS A STAGGERING DANGER OF ALLOWING SOICIOPATH LYING GAMER LAWYERS LIKE BRIBES SUCKER JOE BIDEN RULE THE NATION.... RIGHT INTO THE GROUND!!!
Will Biden Fund ISIS in Israel to Aid the 'Palestinians'?
The Biden administration blames Israeli “violence” while supporting Islamic terror.
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
"In the name of Allah, the merciful and compassionate," Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority leader, said, "we would like to welcome Secretary Clinton."
"Blinken," someone corrected him.
"Sorry, Blinken," the 86-year-old Islamic terrorist leader said.
Secretary of State Blinken had to travel thousands of miles away to find a leader even more unpopular and out of it than the one he had left behind at the White House.
That was last year. This year, Abbas got Blinken’s name right and not much else.
After 17 years (and just one election), Abbas has seen a lot of secretaries of state come and go to get their pictures taken with him and then send him a few hundred million dollars.
Last year, Abbas told Blinken that he had "postponed the elections" because of Israel and that the moment he gets his paws on Jerusalem, "we will hold them immediately and without any delay, because ultimately what we’re interested in is to establish democracy throughout Palestine." This year they can’t be held either because Abbas still doesn’t have Jerusalem.
The last Palestinian Authority presidential election was in 2005. Abbas won. The last parliamentary election was in 2006. Hamas won. The presidential and parliamentary elections have been postponed since then but are expected to resume any time now. If not, blame Israel.
Since elections won't be happening anytime soon, a recent poll reveals that 73% of the "Palestinians" occupying the West Bank and Gaza want Abbas to resign.
If elections were somehow held today the Hamas presidential candidate would win 54% of the vote while Abbas would only get 38%. So you can see why there will be no elections.
61% want to tear up all agreements with Israel (since they haven't kept them, that would be a technicality), 70% don’t want to negotiate with Israel, and 64% don’t even want to negotiate with Biden. 58% oppose the “two-state solution” that is the touchstone of the entire peace process.
73% believes that the Koran predicts that Israel will be destroyed, but only 32% believe it will happen in 2022.
Under these circumstances, the last thing the Biden administration wants is democracy for the quarreling foreign Jihadist tribes who invaded Israel over the last few centuries and were rebranded by the name of the European colonists known as the Philistines.
Blinken is fine with Abbas postponing the elections forever because otherwise the terror clans will do what they did the last time that Bush naively allowed elections and vote for Hamas.
And that would be inconvenient because Hamas won’t pretend that they aren’t terrorists.
Four Israelis were murdered last week by a Muslim terrorist attack at a mall in Beersheba.
Despite the terrorist's ISIS membership, a Hamas spokesman praised "the executor of the heroic operation" and promised more "heroic operations: stabbings, ramming and shooting” like the car and stabbing spree that killed a Rabbi who ran a soup kitchen and two mothers of three children. So much for the claim that Hamas will inhibit the rise of the “extremists” of ISIS.
Palestinian Authority media also hailed Mohammad Ghaleb Abu al-Qi’an, the ISIS terrorist shot and killed by an Israeli bus driver who chased him down on foot, as a "martyr". If the PA follows its usual “Pay to Slay” policy in this case, it won’t just be financially supporting the usual stable of PLO, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad families, but also an ISIS terrorist’s family.
And that will mean American taxpayers will end up subsidizing ISIS terrorism in Israel as the Biden administration explores ways to bypass the Taylor Force Act’s ban on terror funding.
At a joint press conference with Prime Minister Bennett, Blinken gave a speech mostly blaming Israel for future violence during Passover and Ramadan. That speech was followed by another ISIS attack in which two heavily armed terrorists opened fire on a bus. The Islamic terrorists were taken down by cops who had been eating nearby, but not before they killed two people.
Hamas celebrated the "valor and courage" of the ISIS terrorists as did Islamic Jihad.
Hezbollah, backed by Iran, praised the ISIS attack as an “important and most effective practical response to the infamous and treacherous normalization meetings that some Arab regimes are carrying out with the enemy entity” referring to the anti-Iran summit in Israel with the foreign ministers of Bahrain, UAE, Morocco and Egypt. Iran's pro-IRGC outlet praised it as a “martyrdom operation”. When it comes to Israel, Iran and ISIS are on the same side. Much as Al Qaeda and Iran were on the same side when it came to the terrorist attacks of September 11.
Blinken meanwhile used the visit to pitch Israelis on a Biden plan to remove the IRGC, Iran’s terror hub, from the list of foreign terrorist organizations, claiming it would be “symbolic”.
He failed to condemn the terrorist attack as an ISIS attack, calling it “senseless” violence.
At his joint press conference with Abbas, Blinken also failed to condemn terrorism or to note that ISIS, with the tacit support of his PLO hosts in Ramallah and of Hamas in Gaza was planting its flag in Israel. Instead Blinken once again condemned Jewish Israeli “settler violence”.
Like Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland's previous visit, the formula of Biden administration officials condemning Israeli "settler violence" while promising to "strenghten" the terrorists of the Palestinian Authority is as familiar as it is evil. The Palestinian Authority is an unwanted institution whose leader 73% of the people the dictator rules over want to see out of office.
And 49% want to dissolve the Palestinian Authority.
Considering the decades of failure, misery, and terrorism wrought by the failed Clinton initiative to create a Palestinian state, it’s long past time for everyone to turn the book on this disaster.
Neither Arab Muslims nor Israelis want Abbas or the Palestinian Authority. Only diplomats like Blinken and Nuland insist on keeping the senile tyrant of Ramallah in office until he dies.
In a final statistic, the poll asked who was "most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people". 31% picked Hamas, 29% chose Abbas' Palestinian Authority, and 33% chose none of the above. 84% believe the PA is corrupt and 70% believe Hamas is dirty.
The “Palestinian people” have spoken. Will Biden listen to them?
The root source of the corruption comes from the hundreds of millions of dollars that Blinken came bearing last year for the regime of a corrupt senile autocrat who didn’t even know whom he was talking to. There’s more money coming this year to prop up the terrorist regime.
All in the name of a peace which doesn’t exist and that the majority of “Palestinians” don’t want.
The United States has gone from using its foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority to prop up PLO, Islamic Jihad and Hamas terrorism against Israel, to subsidizing ISIS terrorism.
Will ISIS be a final red line for the corrupt farce of a two-state solution and a peace process?
OE BIDEN'S FIRST AGENDA, IN CONERT WITH THE GOP, U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND NARCOMEX, IS TO EXPAND THE MEXICAN SERF CLASS. TAKE A LOOK AT MEXIFORNIA; THE STATE WITH THE LARGEST NUMBER OF ILLEGALS, THE BIGGEST MEX WELFARE CLASS IN THE WORLD AND THE LARGEST NIMBER OF THOSE LIVING IN POVERTY AND HOMELESS.
IT'S CALLED NAFTA
The U.S. could be turned into a Third World country, that is, if there is room for a United States in Biden’s new world order at all. Biden’s handlers have effectively erased the Southern border and as a result, illegals are streaming in at a rapid clip. Even the New York Times admitted last October that “migrants were encountered 1.7 million times in the last 12 months, the highest number of illegal crossings recorded since at least 1960.”
Biden Promises Us a 'New World Order’
What could possibly go wrong?
29 comments
How often do we need new world orders? As often as oil changes? Speaking on Monday at Business Roundtable’s CEO Quarterly Meeting in Washington, Old Joe Biden said portentously: “And now is a time when things are shifting. We’re going to — there’s going to be a new world order out there, and we’ve got to lead it. And we’ve got to unite the rest of the free world in doing it.” It has been just thirty years since George H. W. Bush promised a new world order, and apparently, that one is already gotten stale. So Old Joe is going to bring us a still newer one, and once again the question must be asked: what could possibly go wrong?
Bush said in his State of the Union address on Jan. 29, 1991, that “we stand at a defining hour”; apparent “things” were “shifting” back then, too. This was during the Gulf War, in which the U.S. invaded Iraq after Iraq annexed Kuwait. Bush explained, however, that “what is at stake is more than one small country, it is a big idea: a new world order, where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind: peace and security, freedom, and the rule of law. Such is a world worthy of our struggle, and worthy of our children’s future.”
Apparently, it was Putin’s invasion of Ukraine that made Old Joe and his henchmen think that Bush’s new world order was worn out and that we needed a still newer one, or at least the war in Ukraine has become the occasion for Biden and others to speak more openly about what they hope to do. The fact that Biden’s handlers have been working toward a radical restructuring of society has been obvious from the beginning of this dumpster fire presidency, and as a result, we can have a more or less clear idea of what they want Biden’s new world order to look like.
In the first place, it will involve no fossil fuels. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief Michael Regan confirmed two weeks ago, when he spoke at the White House along with so-called Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and alleged Vice President Kamala Harris, and announced “proposed limits on new buses and large trucks to curb some of their greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% in the next decade.” Regan boasted, “We’re pressing the accelerator to reach a zero-emissions future sooner than most people thought.” The White House is attempting to use skyrocketing fuel prices, which they brought about by shutting down the Keystone Pipeline, placing a moratorium on oil leases on federal property (which was blocked in court but is apparently still followed in the Interior Department, as the number of drilling permits it has issued has dropped sharply), suspending some existing drilling leases, restricting fracking, placing onerous financial regulations on the oil industry, and more, to implement their green agenda, which could effectively make the United States a Third World country. New world order!
The U.S. could be turned into a Third World country, that is, if there is room for a United States in Biden’s new world order at all. Biden’s handlers have effectively erased the Southern border and as a result, illegals are streaming in at a rapid clip. Even the New York Times admitted last October that “migrants were encountered 1.7 million times in the last 12 months, the highest number of illegal crossings recorded since at least 1960.”
A new record could be set in 2022, as the UK’s Daily Mail reported last week that “more than 170,000 migrants are waiting on the Mexican-side of the U.S.-Mexico border to cross and claim asylum” once the Biden administration trashes, as it is expected to do, Title 42, a Trump-era provision that allowed illegal migrants to be expelled during the COVID-19 hysteria.
A country without borders is no country at all. Are Biden’s handlers impossibly stupid and unaware of this fact or fully aware of it and determinedly setting out to render the U.S. borderless? A borderless U.S. fits in well with Leftists’ commitment to their idols of “diversity” and “multiculturalism”; it may even be, in their twisted analysis, an attempt to ensure international peace by making every place pretty much like every other place (and all equally squalid, dirty, and dangerous), so that wars of conquest have no purpose.
It’s a silly and ultimately suicidal utopian vision, but what else makes sense of what Biden’s handlers are doing to border security? Once one sees it all as part of Joe’s new world order, it begins to make sense. In any case, one thing is certain: if Biden’s handlers succeed in implementing their ridiculous and dangerous vision, their new world order won’t even last as long as Poppy Bush’s.
