The Russian BLACKMAIL Part 2 over the Ukraine - Biden Era

Daily Mail: Reports " Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in televised remarks that he would 'neither confirm nor exclude' the possibility that Russia could send military assets to Cuba and Venezuela if the talks fail and U.S. pressure on Russia mounts.  "

Lets Get Real:

If the Russians places nuclear missiles in Cuba they will be breaking the 1962 agreement between Presidents Kennedy and Chairman Khrushchev that ended the Cuban Missile Crisis, any placement of nuclear missiles in Cuba could lead to a new Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Biden Oval cannot sell out the Turks this time as JFK did in 1962 under a secret agreement between the US and Russia.   The question is how far IS Putin willing to go and how far will Biden go to STOP HIM.  It can be postulated that IF Putin takes the East Ukraine but leaves the rest that might be enough to prevent a greater WAR, but if he goes for the WHOLE of the Ukraine, then ALL BETS ARE OFF, the US will supply military resources to the Kiev Government, very much like the US did in the 1980s to the fighters in Afghanistan.  This is hard lesson for history, if you have nuclear weapons don't give them as the Ukraine did in the 1990s.  Also it should be noted that Colonel Gaddafi after 9/11 gave up his nuclear materials to the US and looked what happened to him, overthrown by NATO.  Also this is why North Korea will never give up its nuclear missiles, the Regime is safe, the US or others will never attack a nuclear armed State, that is why Iran wants to become a nuclear armed power.  Thus a very frost few weeks ahead. 

The Ultimate BLACKMAIL from Putin over the Ukraine - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.31pm post the following, " Russian envoy warns of 'catastrophic outcome' if agreement isn't reached now..."

Lets Get Real:

If the Russians were bluffing they have gone to far, the US under Biden is not going to say NO to the Ukraine, it might make them say YES faster.  The NATO allies are not going to remove NATO troops from Eastern Europe States that are part of NATO or their equipment.  The latest line is that Putin is to be given military options if the diplomacy fails, there is two options left, have some real talks about a new INF Treaty and advance notice of military games or invade the Ukraine and make threats to the Baltic States and Poland.  Why Putin has gone this far?  The Russian President looks sane, well for a Russian tyrant.  It has to be asked who is advising him, his rich friends must be worried that their assets will be frozen by the West and Putin could be leading Russia in to a hot war with the West.  One hopes there are some sane people around Putin, also not afraid to tell him some home truths, nuclear wars are BAD! Is the Ukraine worth it,  WW3 would make WW2 look like a nice dinner party that went wrong!

The END of DIPLOMATIC TALKS between the US and Russia over Ukraine ? - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " Russia sees 'no grounds' for more security talks with US, NATO "

Lets Get Real:

This confirms that the talks between the US and Russia was a sideshow for the Russians, they want to tell their people that they tried their hardest and what follows, whatever that is, can only be the FAULT of the West.  Putin has made it clear that the fall of the USSR was the greatest tragedy of the 20th Century, he seems to have forgotten World War 1 and 2, the holocaust of the Jews.  Mr KGB is playing a foolish game, he could drag the WORLD close to World War 3, it would not take much, a missile on the Russian side going wrong and hitting a NATO Country, the Russians making it clear that any help from the West to the Kiev Government will be seen as a ACT OF WAR, the US is already supplying Kiev with small arms and other equipment.  There could be hundred of thousands of Ukraine refuges should WAR break out and they will be heading to NATO/EU Countries.  The Biden Oval cannot be seen to appease Putin after Afghanistan, he does not want another Munich 1938 and POTUS being cast as the new Neville Chamberlain.  This developing crisis point is heading in one direction, the invasion of Ukraine and the risk of a general WAR in Europe. 

Russia REFUSES to decrees Troops on the Ukraine Border - Biden Era

CNN - World: Reports " Russia has not committed to de-escalate on the Ukrainian border after two rounds of diplomatic talks this week, Deputy US Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said Wednesday,.. "

Lets Get Real:

One does wonder when Putin will pull the plug on this diplomatic sideshow, it is CLEAR that the Russians Diplomats have been told to keep to the Party line, that Ukraine must not be allowed in to NATO and that NATO forces should be removed from Eastern Europe States in NATO.  These States were in the old Warsaw Pact in the Cold War.  The Biden Oval should take the LEAD, send in the 101st Airborne, on a goodwill visit to Kiev and the border between the West and East Ukraine.  This would draw a line in the sand, show Putin's Kremlin that the US and the West will not be LEAD by the whims of President Putin.  Also it should be LEAKED what sanctions the Russian Federation would face if it did invade the Ukraine, make them eye watering for the Kremlin and the Russian people.  The West has had enough of following Putin, time to show the Kremlin who really is in charge, better than having to react to a Russian invasion of the Ukraine. 

US reminds the World of Russian Aggression in the Ukraine - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.53pm post the following on US NATO talks with Russia, " Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman told a news conference: "The NATO allies spoke in complete unity. That all countries must be able to choose their own set of foreign policy orientations. That sovereignty and territorial integrity are sacrosanct and must be respected. And that all nations are, and must be free to choose, their own alliances......It was a very serious and direct conversation...The United States and our allies were united in our response. Together, the United States and our allies made it clear we will not slam the door shut on NATO's open door policy....Moscow is using increasingly aggressive rhetoric, spreading propaganda information saying it is Ukraine that is seeking conflict, not Russia.....It bears repeating that it was Russia that invaded Ukraine in 2014. It is Russia that continues to fuel a war in eastern Ukraine that has claimed 14,000 Ukrainian lives and now it's Russia's actions that are causing a renewed crisis. "

Lets Get Real:

As stated in this blog yesterday, these meetings, Geneva, Brussels and tomorrow in Vienna are sideshows, the Kremlin has made its mind up to invade, it has ringed the Ukraine with its forces, it has to ACT or the Russian troops will get fed up and start to get angry, also the Russian people has been been fed propaganda that Ukraine is the THREAT, will start to wonder WHY their troops are there, Putin has blocked himself in, he has made DEMANDS that NATO and US cannot agree too, Putin wants to reverse the history of the past 23 years.  The Kremlin wants the Ukraine back in Russia and wants to have military influence over Eastern Europe.  The Diplomats sent by the Kremlin didn't even have the power to agree to further meetings, on missile talks, army games etc.  After tomorrow talks this blog expects a three pronged invasion, the Russians will want to go all the way, the whole of the Ukraine, the West can expect a bloodbath. 

" President " Manchin SPEAKS on the filibuster - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) doubled down Tuesday on his support for the filibuster as President Biden heads to Georgia to publicly push for changes to the Senate rule in order to pass voting rights legislation.  "

Lets Get Real:

It seems that the Senate Democrats cannot count, they do not have the votes to get rid of the filibuster or to make major changes to it, Manchin has spoken, it is not going to happen, the West Virginian Senator wants co-operation with the Republicans, the Senator is right to be concerned, the Democrats could be in the minority after the Mid Terms, who cuts off their own legs for just short term base gain.  The Democrats have to remember, BIDEN is no LBJ or Bill Clinton, he cannot get BBB over the line, Obama got ObamaCare through at the cost of losing the Congress, Biden poll numbers are in the toilet and going down the to sewers, he might not have to think about running in 2024, his polls could be so BAD that he withdraws fearing what a LOSS would be like to his legacy.  The Democrats should be looking at smaller packages that have the support of Manchin not looking to the base that is FAR LEFT and not in the middle of America. Politics is about counting after all.

Russia creating reason to INVADE the Ukraine - Biden Era

Guardian: Reports " Ukraine talks: Russia sees no grounds for optimism ahead of Nato meeting...Moscow’s chief negotiator played down chances of a breakthrough as Russian troops conduct live-fire exercise near Ukraine  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are just playing this out, they want to show the Russian people that they tried all peace full means before going to WAR in the Ukraine.  President Putin wants to return to the World were the old USSR had influence and control of Eastern Europe, before the break up of the WARSAW PACT, this is not going to happen, its a ACT from Russia, they must know that if they tried anything in the Baltic States or Poland it could lead to World War 3.  The Ukraine is the best chance for Putin to rebuild the OLD USSR, he has a problem, Biden cannot afford another foreign policy disaster just before the Mid Terms in the US and he cannot promise anything in public or secret, Putin will be aware what happened to Khrushchev after his secret deal with Kennedy on the Turkish missiles after the Cuban Missile Crisis, Khrushchev was seen to have backed down to the West and was removed as leader of the USSR.   Thus Biden has to stand FIRM and block Putin, one has to blink or we could see a major WAR in Europe, nothing seen since World War 2.
