Ukraine Central Government Behaving Undemocratically

The European Union and the United States wants you to believe the Ukrainian cause is a just cause and we should invest all our resources and military might into it.

The problem, and the reality is, the Ukrainian government is everything but a democratic government.

Would a democratic government remove all their party opposition from the government as Zelensky has done with opposition parties in his country?

Would a democratic government take full control of the media narrative by creating a single television channel and dismissing every other outlet?

The answer to both questions is, no.  Imagine if Joe Biden dismissed the whole Republican Party from Congress and took control of all television and radio outlets in our country. That would be considered undemocratic and dictatorial in nature.

This is exactly what the comedian Zelensky is doing in the Ukraine and western media outlets are refusing to report it.

Zelenski has moved to suspend most of the opposition parties, which includes the parliament’s second largest group, Opposition Platform – For Life, creating a de facto one-man government.

Why would the president of a ‘democratic’ government ban his opposition from government? He says because they have possible links to Russia. Is he joking? Many Ukrainians have links to Russia that doesn’t mean they approve of Russian or Ukrainian actions.

This is a totalitarian move and contrary to western values of governance. This is the type of one-party rule system you see in communist countries like China. This is wrong and we should not be supporting a government that dismisses opposition voices based on ‘hunches.’

“Any activity politicians aimed at division and collaboration won’t be successful, but will instead be faced with a harsh response.” According to Zelensky if anybody goes against his narrative they will face consequences.

Imagine if a sitting United States president would make such a statement against members of the minority party. Folks, this is not what we stand for and we should not be supporting any type of government who thinks totalitarianism is a legitimate form of government.

His move to take full control of the media to shape his own narrative is dangerous and it should be condemned by the western media, unfortunately it won’t.

We need both sides of the conflict to be reported fairly and accurately. Anything else is nothing more than misinformation and propaganda.

In the meantime, Joe Biden goes on national television and call Putin names, like a little kid, instead of trying to find a solution to a conflict he helped create, first in 2014 and now with his bellicose rhetoric.  

Biden’s press secretary refuses to answer real questions while telling the American people we need to help the people of Ukraine. The media outlets in the United States, both liberal and conservative ones, continue to report what they wish you to know while omitting how and why we got here in the first place.

Ukraine may be the ‘Flavor of the Month’, but is definitely not a democracy and it will never be.

Stupidity or Ignorance?

A Pew research poll found that approximately 50% of Americans polled consider the Russian-Ukrainian conflict a direct threat to the United States. More than a third of Americans would support the use of the American military, even at the risk of a full-on nuclear war with Russia.

According to the poll, Republicans and Democrats evenly share this view alike. Keep in mind, these are the same polls who gave Hillary Clinton an outright victory in the 2016 election by 5:00 p.m. on election night.

Pew claims 62% of Americans say they would oppose “taking military action even if it risks a nuclear conflict with Russia”, however 35% said they would support military action. According to Pew, the results were almost evenly split between Democrats and Republicans with 36% Republicans and 35% Democrats willing to risk nuclear war over Ukraine.

I am not one of those in favor of going to war with Russia over Ukraine. I do not look at this thing with a bleeding heart, but with logical and rational thoughts.

I don’t know these ‘Americans’ who think a full-scale nuclear war with a country who has the largest arsenal of nuclear warheads in the world is a smart idea. I will have to think this poll is a made-up poll or those polled are either ignorant or stupid.

A nuclear conflict over Ukraine is not worth one American life, we do not owe Ukraine anything. Ukraine is not a NATO member and holds zero strategic value to the United States.

I understand Joe Biden does owe Ukraine a lot. After all, it was the Ukrainian government who intervened on behalf of then Vice-President, Joe Biden, to put a stop to an investigation into his son Hunter Biden’s dealings in Ukraine.

The Biden’s have been involved in business dealings with Ukraine since 2014, mostly Hunter Biden and Ukrainian holdings company Burisma.

In 2016, amid an investigation, Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion of U.S. aid to Ukraine unless Viktor Shokin, the country’s top prosecutor was fired. He was allegedly ‘soft’ on corruption and Joe Biden was tasked to clean up corruption in Ukraine by then President Obama.

Shokin was not soft on corruption, Shokin was investigating Hunter Biden and his shady dealings with Burisma. You can think whatever you want to think, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck.

Folks, Joe Biden owes Ukraine big time, but we do not. This is Joe Biden’s personal mess and now he wants the United States to pay the price for his son’s mistakes by drawing the United States into a conflict in which we have no business getting into.

Zelenski goes in front of our Congress making foolish suggestions that perhaps we are already in a Third World War and we are not doing enough to help him. I assumed, since he was a comedian, this was a joke, unfortunately the joke was on us.

Furthermore, he compares the situation in his country to Pearl Harbor and September 11. No wonder this failed comedian was the perfect fit to become a United States puppet, he is as unstable and irrational as Joe Biden.

This is an obvious attempt by Zelenski to draw us into a conflict that will not end well for the United States.

By suggesting a “No Fly Zone” he knows that we would have to shoot down Russian jets and therefore we will be at a state of war with Russia. Even NATO understands the risk of such action and it is vehemently opposed to it. Our government should do the same.

To think that a third of Americans are willing to risk a nuclear conflict over Ukraine is disheartening and frightening. The consequences of a nuclear war with Russia, and the catastrophic effects on the rest of the world are unthinkable, and to advocate for it, unconscionable.

Media Blackout and Misinformation Propaganda

I guess now we are supposed to get our news from American “state media only” because the government doesn’t want us to see the other side.

Until this morning, Direct TV was carrying RT America and now is gone. This isn’t right and it goes against everything we stand as a country and a society.

Most Americans are smart enough to understand the information, and when we are at the verge of a third world war, we deserve to have both sides of the story.

As a combat veteran, I refuse to be bamboozled by misinformation because our government wants to to go to war for a country who has nothing in common with our country or our values. Other than its strategic value, the United States and Europe could care less about Ukraine or its people.

Since 2014, Ukrainian forces have been bombing and killing innocent civilians in the Donbass region, but nobody has condemned those actions. Aren’t those crimes against humanity? Ignorance is the worst enemy of reason.

I have been to war and is not a pretty sight. This is about the information and the free flow of it. The American people deserves to have access to all the information available and not dependent on state run outlets and one sided stories.

We saw that before when Collin Powell went to the United Nations and lied about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction. We were bogged down in the Middle East for over 20 years. We don’t need that and we deserve to have the facts before sending aid and United States assets to fight another country’s war.

This is not Iraq or Afghanistan. Russia is the biggest country in Europe with a capable military and a nuclear arsenal. Are you willing to send your children to fight in a conflict that has nothing to do with the interest of the United States?

After all, the United States contributed to this mess, first in the 2014 Ukrainian coup and now by suggesting NATO expansion to Russian borders.

From Facebook to Twitter to YouTube, they all have censored all types of news coming from Russia. This media blackout only hurts us, the American people. Freedom to access information should not be delegated to media magnates and government entities.

Imagine if the American people would have been kept in the dark during WWII.

Russian actions need to be dealt with, but our government doesn’t have the right to deprive us of the information. We deserve the truth before sending our children to die in foreign wars.

Like Mexican President Lopez Obrador stated, “I don’t agree with the fact that media from Russia or any other country is censored.” I agree 100%.

For decades, the United States and its NATO allies have been wanting to add Ukraine to the alliance in an effort to corner Russia. This is not new, and it has been in play even when Joe Biden was Obama’s vice president.

From the 2014 coup, which got rid of the duly elected president with the assistance of the United States, to Joe Biden’s business dealing with Ukraine as vice president, Ukraine has been a drug the United States has refused to quit.

Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. If Ukraine were not important, the Biden administration would have never brought back Victoria Nuland, one of the main architects of the 2014 coup which installed a puppet anti-Russian president.

The Ukrainian conflict was a mess created by the United States and it continues to be a mess today. The Biden administration and NATO have been promoting the idea of NATO expansion next to Russia’s borders and Putin was not going to go along with that idea.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been warning the west not to press for NATO expansion, but the west did not want to listen, so he made the first move.

How would the United States react if Russia wanted to station troops in Mexico and Canada? Exactly!

The United States and NATO allies’ insistence of expanding into Russian borders has caused this crisis. For weeks, Ukrainian President Zelenski has been downplaying all the NATO talk, but Joe Biden and the rest of the NATO cronies have been poking the bear.

Now that Putin made the move, NATO is nowhere to be found and they will not intervene. Ukraine is on its own.

That is the meat and potatoes of this problem, and it could have been avoided if the Biden administration were not pushing for a phony war to hide their own domestic failures.

CBS News can falsely blame the domestic problems of high gasoline prices and inflation to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, but Americans know this is not true. The Biden administration is pushing for war because that is the only way they can shift attention from their failed policies.

Sure, Biden imposed economic sanctions on a few rich oligarchs, but the guy who matters the most, Putin, he did not have the guts to do a thing against him. Perhaps Putin does have something on the Biden clan.

Joe Biden does not care about the American people or the consequences of his irresponsible behavior. Americans will be paying more at the pump, and with oil selling at a record high since 2014, everything from produce to toilet tissue will become more expensive.

Like it or not, diesel and gasoline vehicles continue to deliver these goods, and when truckers have to pay more for gas and diesel, the more it costs to move the inventory. If you think you Biden is going to soften the blow for you, well, you have not been paying attention.

Joe Biden is going to have to decide between the Green New Deal or renew our energy independence. Otherwise, we will not have the energy supply necessary for our day to day needs without having to bend the knee to OPEC, China, and other energy independent countries. So much for a so-called ‘superpower.’

Joe Biden says sanctioning Russia is going to also hurt us. Sure, is going to hurt the middle class and the poor, not the Washington elites who want this conflict to go on. While you are suffering, Nancy Pelosi and the McConnell’s of the world will be making big money at your expense.

But don’t worry folks, Joe Biden already stated he is willing to take Ukrainian refugees. I am sure that will ease your economic pains.
