The U.S. has had some women in positions of power that have done good jobs, and the U.S. has had some women in positions of power that haven’t done so well. Today, I want to look at three of the worst. Now that war has started in Ukraine, we need leaders with cool heads that can soberly navigate us through this crisis. Because a huge mistake at this stage could easily result in a direct conflict with the Russian military. Unfortunately, most of those that currently hold positions of power in Washington are not doing much to inspire confidence.
Kamala Harris is a perfect example. On Thursday, the former press secretary for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on Twitter that it would be “a tragedy” if Kamala Harris ever won the presidency…
Volodymyr Zelensky’s former press secretary tweeted then deleted a post on Thursday saying it would be a ‘tragedy’ if Vice President Kamala Harris were to one day be president after she laughed through questions at a press conference in Poland about the refugee crisis in Ukraine.
‘It would be a tragedy if this woman won the presidency,’ Iuliia Mendel, who served Zelensky’s administration from June 2019 until July 2021, wrote on Twitter before quickly deleting the post.
Of course Mendel was 100 percent correct.
Without a doubt, it would be a tremendous tragedy for all of us if Harris ever became president.
But the Ukrainians desperately want our help in this war, and so what would cause a key Ukrainian figure to make such a derogatory statement about Harris at such a critical time?
If you aren’t aware of it yet, here it is…
Mendel’s comments were in response to another tweet with a video showing Harris laughing when asked about the refugee crisis resulting from people displaced from Ukraine fleeing to neighboring countries and saying through giggles: ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed.’
What was she thinking?
Sometimes I wonder if she just blurts out whatever comes into her head.

If she actually becomes president someday, the magnifying glass on her will become even more intense.
What a scary thought.
During that same press conference, Harris pledged that the U.S. would defend “every inch” of NATO territory…
Vice President Kamala Harris vowed to defend ‘every inch’ of NATO territory Thursday as US troops fired Stinger missiles during military drills in Estonia and as Vladimir Putin’s moved within a few miles of Kyiv as their brutal invasion continued.
If she was given a blank map of the world, do you think that Harris could pick out all of the NATO countries?
I think that we all know the answer to that question.
I have no idea how someone like Harris becomes the vice-president of the United States. I suppose that it is yet another very clear sign of how far we have fallen as a nation.
Of course she is far from alone. U.S. Representative Maria Elvira Salazar has previously worked as a news anchor for CNN’s Spanish channel and Univision, but now she is suddenly a rising Republican star in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Max Blumenthal had the opportunity to ask Salazar if she would support a no-fly zone in Ukraine, and she emphatically replied that she would…
On March 9th, Rep. Salazar was approached by The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal, where the journalist asked the congresswoman if she would “support a no-fly zone in Ukraine.”
Without hesitation, Rep. Salazar went on to proudly display her solidarity with the Ukrainians, saying, “I support everything that has to do with punishing Vladimir Putin and helping the Ukrainians.”
Most reporters would have probably stopped there, but Blumenthal followed up on his question, and Salazar was forced to admit that she doesn’t even know what a no-fly zone is…
Understanding the aforementioned, Blumenthal asked the congresswoman, “Wouldn’t that mean direct conventional warfare with Russia?”
When confronted with that rather critical element regarding no-fly zones, Rep. Salazar admitted she wasn’t aware that no-fly zone enforcement comes with the caveat of potential acts of warfare.
“I don’t know what it will mean, but you know, freedom is not free.”
Really?
She doesn’t know “what it will mean”?
I would expect that sort of an answer from a Democrat, but Republicans are supposed to be better than that.
Sadly, apparently they are not.
And if members of Congress do not understand what is at stake, what does that say about the general population?
Lastly, I want to talk about a very dangerous woman named Victoria Nuland.
Nuland currently serves as the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, but she has been in Washington for a very long time. While serving on Dick Cheney’s staff, she played a key role in the invasion of Iraq, and in 2014 she was instrumental in helping to overthrow the democratically-elected government of Ukraine.
Nuland continues to play a key role in Ukraine policy to this day, and this week she had the opportunity to testify in front of a key Senate committee. During that testimony, Senator Marco Rubio asked her a question about biological weapons…
I only have a minute left. Let me ask you, does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons?
Nuland: Ukraine has biological research facilities, which, in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of. So we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces, should they approach.
What?
Did she really just admit that?
Yes, she did.
And guess who has been funding those “biological research facilities”?
Tucker Carlson did a great segment on this, and if you haven’t seen it yet you can find it right here. I will not repeat everything that Carlson and his team discovered, but I will say that it is beyond shocking.
We were told over and over again that the Biden administration knew that the Russians were going to invade Ukraine.
If that is the case, then why wasn’t anything done to secure those facilities?
Just imagine would could happen if one of those facilities gets shelled by accident and dangerous biological agents get released into the wild.
Who is going to clean that up?
And why does someone like Victoria Nuland still have a job?
After the Iraq War, she should have been banished from Washington in disgrace.
But instead she just kept getting promoted.
And after what she pulled in Ukraine in 2014, there is no way that she should have ever held a government job ever again.
Sadly, this is how “permanent Washington” works. The rats just keep helping one another get to the top of the food chain.
Hopefully the American people are starting to figure out how the game works. One promising sign is the fact that one recent poll found that a majority of the American people believe that Joe Biden is at least partially responsible for what has happened in Ukraine…
A HarrisX poll has revealed that most Americans see Joe Biden as a primary reason Russia decided to invade Ukraine.
The survey found that 58% of Americans believe Biden’s toothlessness has prompted Vladimir Putin to push ahead with the conflict.
A further 62% of Americans said they believe Putin would not have dared to take military action if President Trump had been reelected.
For the four years of the Trump administration, things were relatively stable in Ukraine.
But then Joe Biden and his all-star team of warmongers gained power, and now life has become a complete and utter nightmare for the Ukrainian people. For example, just consider what conditions are like on the streets of Mariupol right now…
Bodies are piling up on the streets of Mariupol where starving Ukrainians have resorted to fighting each other for food in the desperate conditions in the besieged port city.
Residents have been sheltering for days without food, water and power in below freezing weather amid constant bombardment from Putin’s forces, which saw a maternity hospital shelled yesterday, killing three people including a six-year-old girl.
This is despite Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov claiming that all women and nurses were evacuated from the hospital and it was deliberately targeted because it had been taken over by Ukrainian radicals, dismissing the Western reaction as a ‘pathetic outcry’.
All of this could have been avoided.
But Biden, Harris, Nuland, Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan and the other warmongers in the Biden administration wanted a showdown with Russia.
Now they have their wish, and the world will never be the same again.
We were warned that World War 3 was coming, and now it is here.
Joe Biden is not the right person to be in the White House during such a time as this, but we better be praying for his health.
Because if he is unable to continue, Kamala Harris will take the reins of power, and that truly would be a nightmare scenario.

Are you looking for a portable jump starter to keep your vehicle running, no matter what?
Today, we are leveling up your knowledge on how to use a portable jump starter. And the best ones on the market today.
Specifically, we’ll be covering:
**Note: If you want to see our favorite Portable Jump Starters, feel free to SKIP AHEAD HERE.
Even in normal times, a dead vehicle battery is a massive inconvenience.
Sure, no one’s going to die, but you might be late to an important meeting. Or you may have to postpone a weekend getaway you’ve been planning for weeks.
BUT in a real emergency, you can’t afford a dead vehicle battery. The outcome quickly moves out of the “inconvenience” bucket to more severe results.
Perhaps it amounts to:
The bottom line is this:
Every responsible adult MUST invest in a powerful backup to get your vehicle started. Why? Because there may not be any other car around to jump-start your battery in a crisis.
If you own a vehicle, it’s irresponsible not to invest in a way to jump it in a pinch.
You need your own portable jump starter.
And portable jump starters have come a LONG way over the years. In the past, you had to carry large, clunky power stations or thick jumper cables.
But those units were cumbersome to store, and jumper cables required a second vehicle to use.
Nowadays, innovation in battery technology and portable power has eliminated these problems. And as you’ll learn shortly, the safety of these devices has skyrocketed as well.
First, what is a portable jump starter?
It’s a compact battery pack that’s powerful enough to boost a dead vehicle’s battery.
Now, you can get them with a host of other features like:
But those features are just icing on an essential survival cake. The jumper should be your primary focus.
Ok, so you went out and bought one. Awesome. Now what?
The good news is, with portable jump starters, you don’t need a mechanical engineering degree to use one. Unlike older intimidating portable jump starters, nowadays, they’re convenient, safe, and simple to use.
But each unit has unique instructions. So while they’re all very easy, they are not universal.
However, with that said, below are the general set of instructions for MOST portable jump starters today:
Here’s how:
A portable vehicle charger is designed to give you full voltage in the first few attempts. Then it will, unfortunately, decrease in power.
You need to make sure the first jumps count, so take the keys out of your vehicle.
Your Portable Jump Starter has two cables coming out of it with alligator clamps. These clamps allow for a secure connection to your battery posts.
Make sure you make the proper connections. Red clamp to positive and black clamp to negative.
Always turn on the jumper starter unit first. This will send the flow of electricity to your battery so your vehicle can use it.
Give it a few minutes BEFORE attempting to start your vehicle.
Note: Some portable jump starters use a sequence of beeps to signal when it’s ready to “start your vehicle”.
Once ready, turn the key over for about 5 seconds max. The portable jump starter will send a short burst of electricity. And most of the time, this will allow enough power to turn your engine’s starter.
But, if it doesn’t within 5 seconds, stop.
Try again if needed until it starts. But each successive failed attempt will reduce your chances of a successful jump.
This is why it’s critical to KEEP your portable jump starter full of juice at all times…
Your portable jump starter is there for when you need it, but it is only as good as the power charged in its battery.
When you buy your jump starter, it may have some charge, but you don’t want to take any chances.
Take it out of the box and plug it in until it reads fully charged.
There will be a power adapter to plug into any standard outlet. Once charged, you are good to go.
Put it back in the box and into your trunk or lockbox in your vehicle. The box will protect it from getting bumped around and stack well with your other gear.
At least once a month (or more often), make sure it still has a full charge, so you never get stuck without juice.
And if you use it to charge a phone or small electronic device in a pinch, make sure to top it back up the next chance you get.
Sure, it’s a nice feature to use some of the portable power for convenience. But NEVER let convenience undermine the REAL reason you’ve invested in it!
Yes. You can use your portable jump starter on a motorcycle. Even a motorcycle that’s been sitting for a while,
All motorcycle batteries are 12 volts, just like your car or truck. And your portable jump starter is also a 12-volt system.
Jump starting your motorbike is safer this way, too, because its battery is smaller. AND trying to jump it from a car or truck may damage the electrical system or battery.
It’s easy to use and pretty affordable as well.
Now you can see how versatile a portable jump starter is and why you need one. It’s a great emergency tool for your car, truck, motorcycle, as well as ATVs and snowmobiles.
Now, maybe you don’t have a portable jump starter yet. That’s ok; we’re going to show you the best ones on the market today.

Have you noticed that the anti-war movement in the United States has almost shriveled up to nothing? In the old days, hordes of radical leftists were passionately against our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but these days many on the left seem to want war with Russia more than anyone else. But before we find ourselves pulled into a war that could have catastrophic implications for the entire planet, perhaps we should take a step back from the precipice and reflect on what we are about to do. The Russians have spent an enormous amount of time, money and energy developing a new generation of extremely advanced nuclear weapons, and Vladimir Putin has already warned us that he is willing to use them. And once one side or the other uses nuclear weapons, there will be no going back.
This is such a critical moment in our history. If we make the wrong decisions now, there may not be a future for our country. So instead of responding emotionally to what is going on, we desperately need to analyze the situation with cool heads. The following are 5 very strange questions that every American should be asking about the war in Ukraine right now…
#1 Are we ready for hundreds of millions of people to perish in a conflict with Russia? Harry Kazianis has participated in many war games over the years, and in 2019 he had the opportunity to participate in one which simulated what would happen if a war between NATO and Russia erupted in Ukraine. According to Kazianis, the simulation resulted in more than a billion deaths…
Over just three days, as I have done countless times over the last several years, a group of past and present senior U.S. government officials from both sides of the aisle gathered to wage a NATO-Russia war in a simulation at the end of 2019. In the course of what we called the NATO-Russia War of 2019, we estimated one billion people died. And if we aren’t careful, what happened in a simulation could happen if a NATO-Russia war erupts over Ukraine.
In fact, in the simulation I mentioned above from 2019, in which Russia invades Ukraine in a similar way as it did over the last week or so, not only does NATO get sucked in unintentionally, but Russia eventually releases nuclear weapons in its desperation. The result is an eventual escalation of bigger and more dangerous nuclear weapons whereby over one billion lives are lost.
#2 If we provide fighter jets to Ukraine will that mean that we get sucked into a shooting war with Russia? U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has previously stated that the U.S. would be willing to replace any MiG-29 fighter jets that Poland sends to Ukraine with new American-made fighter jets, and now Poland has put a unique twist on that proposal. Apparently the Polish government wants to give the MiG-29 fighter jets to us, and then we would be the ones delivering them to the Ukrainians. But if we actually did this, would this make us an active participant in the conflict?…
Poland said on Tuesday that it was ready to deploy — immediately and free of charge — all their MiG-29 fighter jets to the US Air Force’s Ramstein Air Base in Germany and place them at the disposal of Washington to provide them to Ukraine, according to a statement from the Polish foreign ministry.
#3 Why are al-Qaeda fighters being allowed to fight for Ukraine? In the old days, we were told that al-Qaeda was the most evil terror organization on the entire planet, but now they are apparently on our side. It is being reported that 450 al-Qaeda fighters have already arrived in Ukraine, and nobody in the western media seems to have a problem with this…
Close to 450 extremist Arab and foreign nationals have arrived in Ukraine from Idlib to fight against Russia’s forces, less than only three days after they left Syria, passing through Turkey.
Relatives of extremists that have arrived in Ukraine told Sputnik that senior fighters from terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (the rebranded version of Jabhat Al-Nusra, i.e Al-Qaeda) have held a number of meetings with senior leaders in the Turkistan Islamic Party group and Ansar Al-Tawhid and Hurras al-Din groups, and agreed on allowing a number of all their fighters to enter Ukraine through Turkish soil.
#4 Does the United States really have 26 biological research labs in Ukraine? The Chinese government is making this accusation, and if it is true someone out there has a lot of explaining to do. Because there is absolutely no reason why the U.S. should be conducting dangerous biological research in Ukraine at all, much less at 26 different facilities. But according to China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this is precisely what has been going on…
“The US has 336 labs in 30 countries under its control, including 26 in Ukraine alone. It should give a full account of its biological military activities at home and abroad and subject itself to multilateral verification.”
#5 Why are Chinese media outlets embedding reporters with Russian military units that are participating in the invasion of Ukraine? Normally, reporters are only embedded with forces that are considered to be friendly. For example, it would be unthinkable for reporters from the United States to be embedded among the Russians. But apparently the Chinese see this conflict much differently…

It is important to note that the Chinese have refused to denounce what Russia has done.
In fact, they aren’t even calling it an “invasion” at all.
Unfortunately, I think that we all know why this is happening.
The Chinese are planning to invade Taiwan at some point, and so they are watching how this current conflict plays out very, very carefully.
The Russians and the Chinese have been working to develop closer relations for a long time, and when China finally pulls the trigger on an invasion of Taiwan the U.S. could find itself in a state of conflict with both of them simultaneously.
Many in Washington would be absolutely shocked by such a development, but this is something that I have been talking about for a very long time.
In recent years the U.S. has grown extremely complacent, and meanwhile the Russians and the Chinese have both been rapidly modernizing and upgrading their military forces.
Now World War 3 has suddenly erupted, and Russia and China both sense an opportunity to change the game thanks to the incompetence of the Biden administration.

This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge.
Confirming yesterday’s speculation that a ban on Russian oil imports is imminent, moments ago Bloomberg reported that the Biden administration is set to impose a ban on U.S. imports of Russian energy as soon as Tuesday without the participation of European allies, who as we discussed yesterday have been vocal – especially in the case of Germany – against such a blanket ban (because they import much more Russian oil and gas than the US).
The ban will include Russian oil, liquefied natural gas, and coal, according to two Bloomberg sources who noted that the decision was made in consultation with European allies, who rely more heavily than the U.S. on Russian energy. In other words, the allies agreed to disagree on how important Russian oil is to them.
Russian oil made up about 3% of all the crude shipments that arrived in the U.S. last year, according to EIA data. Overall, imports of Russian oil and petroleum products represented about 8% of the U.S. total. U.S. imports of Russian crude in 2022 have dropped to the slowest annual pace since 2017, according to the intelligence firm Kpler. As we reported overnight, Canada said that it could easily replace all US imports of Russian crude… if only the Keystone XL pipeline is approved and yet Biden still refuses to accept the simplest solution just to appease the ultra-progressive wing in the Dem party.
Russia’s gas and oil had so far been mostly spared from sanctions introduced by the U.S. and European countries, due to concern over the economic impact, particularly on Europe, which has a greater dependence on Russian oil and, in particular, natural gas. Canada has announced a ban on Russian crude oil.
Commenting on the probability of a Russian oil ban, last night Goldman said that “if the ban is put in place, expect the White House to simultaneously announce offsetting measures, potentially including additional releases from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) and measures to encourage domestic production. We are skeptical that Congress would suspend the federal gasoline tax to offset a rise in prices, though this cannot be ruled out.” Indeed, another reserve release appears inevitable, with the IEA head Fatih Birol telling the FT that “IEA ready to release more oil to ease soaring energy prices.”
In kneejerk response, oil prices have spiked higher, rising above $124 and hitting fresh session highs.

As we have stated from the beginning, the “vaccines” are anything but. If they were actually “vaccines” no one who takes them would be getting the “disease” they are meant to prevent. Now, a Bayer executive has admitted on video that we were right from the beginning: the COVID-19 “vaccines” are gene therapy.
COVID-19 mRNA Shots Are Legally Not Vaccines
Without the obvious lies and propaganda, rational and otherwise healthy people would have never been convinced to inject themselves with a gene therapy drug. Although Russia presented us with a shred of truth alluding to the fact that its SputnikV COVID “vaccine” was a gene therapy drug, people continued to line up and get injected.
The Truth Comes Out: It DOES Alter Your Genetic Material
Speaking at the opening of the World Health Summit 2021 last November, Bayer Pharmaceuticals Division President Stefan Oelrich admitted that if it were not for the scamdemic, the experimental injection may [not] have seen an extremely high rejection rate.
“We are really taking that leap [to drive innovation] – us as a company, Bayer – in cell and gene therapies,” Oelrich stated. “Ultimately, the mRNA vaccines are an example for that cell and gene therapy,” Oelrich admitted. “I always like to say: if we had surveyed two years ago in the public – ‘would you be willing to take a gene or cell therapy and inject it into your body?’ – we probably would have had a 95% refusal rate,” he said, adding, “I think this pandemic has opened many people’s eyes to innovation.”
As we have said from the beginning, this “vaccine” is a part of the agenda. They must get a critical number of people to take it, and unfortunately, it looks like the rulers have been successful at doing just that.
Oelrich continued: “Our successes over these 18 months [the duration of the COVID ‘pandemic’] should embolden us to fully focus much more closely on access, innovation and collaboration to unleash health for all, especially as we enter, on top of everything else that is happening, a new era of science – a lot of people talk about the Bio Revolution in this context.”
LifeSite News compared Oelrich’s statements to those of globalist World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab’s comments about the “Great Reset.”
Never forget that the “fact-checkers” and mainstream media repeatedly lied and told everyone these shots were somehow still vaccines, even though we are getting admission from those insisting everyone take them, that they are gene therapy drugs. Of course, what can you do if you’ve taken these shots? Unfortunately, very little it seems.

On paper, an emergency kit is a self-contained bag that has all the necessary supplies you need to survive. In reality, it’s one of your last lines of defense against the spread of disease, hunger, cold, thirst & fear.
The basic explanation of an emergency kit may be good enough for people to start preparing. However, in our experience, people genuinely embrace preparing when an emergency hits close to home. It could be as simple as a power outage or as extreme as a tornado. The fact is, you realize that you’re not prepared, and it scares you.
To help you answer the question “what is an emergency kit?” we’ve set up two scenarios using a similar impact event. Scenario one depicts a typical family’s response to an emergency. Scenario two shows us what a family can do if they start preparing for disasters.

You hear a loud noise, then all power goes out. It’s dark. You can’t find the flashlight, when you do, you realize it needs batteries. Now you can’t find the extra batteries.
You open the fridge door to get food, only to realize the food is spoiled. The tap water stopped working, and your kids are crying because they’re hungry. You need to know what’s going on, so you turn on your phone, only to realize it’s not working.
All the networks are down. You don’t have a radio, because who has a radio these days. It’s getting dark, and the heat stopped working. It’s cold, so you wrap your family in whatever blankets you can find. You start to smell something weird in the air.
Scenario Two – Prepared Family
You hear a loud noise, then all power goes out. It’s dark, so you get your emergency kit from the closet. You take out the emergency candle and light it using matches found inside.
It brightens up the whole room. You take out your emergency flashlight and hand it off to your kid. You ask him to look for the deck of cards inside the emergency kit so you can set up a game of “go fish.”
In the meantime, you take out the emergency radio and listen for any updates. You’ve learned that a terrorist bombing took place and poisonous gas is spreading quickly throughout the city. The police have ordered everyone to shelter in place.
You take your family to a room with no windows, and use duct tape to seal off all the cracks in the doors all without scaring your kids or losing your turn at “go-fish.” Your kids start complaining about being hungry.
So you take out emergency freeze-dried food from your emergency kit and provide a delicious gourmet meal for your family. All it took was water from your emergency water pouches.
You do a quick inventory of your supplies and realize you have enough food and water to sustain yourself for three days.
An emergency kit allows your family to better cope with many types of emergency scenarios, from power outages to spoiled food and generating heat. An emergency kit is there to help when you need it most.
At Practical Emergency Kits, we are neither survivalists nor mindless followers of government. We believe in family, country, and human life. A substantial component of that belief is preparation.
Practical Emergency Kits was founded on the principle of providing families with emergency kits and practical knowledge that’s grounded in scientific research.
We believe knowledge is the best way of conquering fear.

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream under the title: Oh Great – Now We Have A “Hot War” With Russia And We Are Being Warned That “World War Three Can Only Be Nuclear”.
We are watching a slow-motion horror show unfold right in front of our eyes, and nobody seems to have a way to stop it. The vast majority of the global population did not want World War III to happen, but it has started anyway.
For years I have been warning that such a conflict would erupt if we did not change course, and now here we are. I am very angry at Vladimir Putin for launching a full-blown invasion of Ukraine because he didn’t need to do that. And I am also very angry at the Biden administration, European leaders, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for endless provoking the Russians and for refusing to negotiate an agreement that could have settled all of this peacefully. I blame both sides for the war because in my opinion it could have been avoided so easily. But now that World War III has begun, there will be no going back.
On Thursday, the head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service made a statement that should be a major league wake-up call for all of us.
According to Sergei Naryshkin, Russia is now engaged in a “hot war” with western powers…
Also on Thursday the head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), Sergei Naryshkin, issued a series of bombshell statements which may reveal Moscow’s broader aims in the war concerning how Russia’s sees its ultimate security aims. Naryshkin said that “for us this is no longer a Cold War with the West but a hot war,” according to Interfax. He said in the rare statement that “Russia now has a real chance to put an end to the war that has been waged in the Post-Soviet space for the past 30 years” – as also quoted in TASS.
If that is how the Russians really view things, that is extremely sobering.
Because a “hot war” between two sides armed with nuclear weapons has the potential to spiral out of control very easily.
In fact, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov just brought up the specter of nuclear war during a rant in which he directly compared the United States to Nazi Germany…
“It is clear that World War Three can only be nuclear.”
So does the Biden administration actually want to fight a nuclear war with Russia?
If it does, I hope that the Biden administration will be honest about this so that millions of us can get out of the way before it happens.
If it doesn’t, then we should try to find a peaceful way out of this mess.
Unfortunately, it appears that a peaceful solution isn’t going to happen any time soon.
After talking with Vladimir Putin for about 90 minutes on Thursday, French President Emmanuel Macron warned that “the worst is yet to come”…
French President Emmanuel Macron thinks “the worst is yet to come” in Ukraine after talking with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, according to multiple reports.
A senior French official said Macron’s warning came after the two leaders spoke for 90 minutes, which did not yield any diplomatic progress, The Washington Post reported.
The official said Putin was determined to carry out the ongoing war in Ukraine until “the end,” the paper reported.
We are being told that the Ukrainian people are “fighting for democracy”, but that isn’t exactly accurate.
Yes, the Russians are authoritarians, but so are the Ukrainians.
Before the war, there were three television stations that were saying things that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his minions didn’t like, and so Zelensky shut them down.
And Zelensky and his minions also rounded up and arrested the leadership of the main opposition political party in Ukraine.
Just imagine how we would feel if the Democrats rounded up all of the leaders of the Republican Party and put them in prison.
The Zelensky regime is an authoritarian regime, and we should never forget that.
And as I detailed yesterday, Nazis and neo-Nazis are running around all over the place in Ukraine.
But in that article, I did not intend to suggest that most ordinary Ukrainians are evil. In fact, in an article that I posted earlier today, I tried to make it very clear that most Ukrainians are just like you and me.
They just want to be left alone so that they can live their lives in peace and quiet.
Unfortunately, that is no longer possible.
Here in the western world, rapidly rising oil prices are going to make life more difficult for all of us.
On Thursday, U.S. crude actually reached 116 dollars a barrel at one point…
US oil prices briefly spiked on Thursday to their highest level in nearly 14 years, as concerns about disruptions to Russia’s supplies continue.
US crude jumped as much as 5.4% to $116.57 a barrel early Thursday — the highest trade since September 22, 2008. A week earlier Lehman Brothers collapsed.
Needless to say, a higher price for oil is going to mean that all Americans will soon be feeling a lot more pain at the pump.
According to USA Today, the average price of a gallon of gasoline has now hit five dollars in San Francisco…
Get ready to pay even more at the pump – perhaps as much as $5 per gallon or more.
Some consumers are already paying more than that: The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in San Francisco hit the $5 mark Thursday. That’s the first time a U.S. city has hit an average that high, said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at fuel-savings app GasBuddy.
One California resident that was interviewed by a news crew admitted that “it hurts a lot” to fill up his vehicle now.
But this is just the beginning.
In fact, JPMorgan is projecting that the price of oil could eventually go as high as 185 dollars a barrel…
Brent crude could end the year at $185 a barrel if Russian supply continues to be disrupted, JPMorgan Chase & Co. wrote in a note Thursday.
Can you imagine what our economy will look like when people have to pay seven or eight dollars (or more) for a gallon of gasoline?
Things are really starting to get crazy out there.
But of course, we certainly have it much easier than the people of Ukraine.
As Russian forces encircle the major cities, supplies of food and energy will become increasingly tight.
Millions of Ukrainians will soon be extremely cold and extremely hungry as they slowly go mad from all of the Russian shelling that is constantly happening all around them.
For the citizens of Ukraine, World War III has already arrived.
For those of us in the western world, the conflict on the other side of the globe will cause inconveniences for now, but it is only a matter of time before we experience severe pain too.
