In the last year there have been two attempted “pro-democracy” inter-elite coups in pro-Kremlin states on Russian borders: Belarus and Kazakhstan. Both of those so-called “color revolutions” failed, but Ukraine represents a much more pressing concern, especially given the country’s push for NATO membership, which Biden officials like Secretary of State Antony Blinken publicly encouraged last year with no intention or possibility of actually making it possible. Yet rather than compelling the United States to rethink the wisdom of planting the NATO flag on Russia’s border, Putin’s escalating rhetoric—and troop movements—only made the Biden team dig in deeper.
That’s why Belarus is supporting the Russian invasion - sounds like they themselves almost ended up being candidates for nato membership. (Ditto Kazakhstan). The entire geopolitical game in that region is majorly fkuced up - as is the incompetence of its execution. Lee Smith must be a courageous person.

"Shortly after came Vice President Biden, who took his own victory lap and counseled the Ukrainians to root out corruption. Naturally, a prominent Ukrainian energy company called Burisma, which was then under investigation for corruption, hired Biden’s son Hunter for protection."

Amazing Biden does not recuse himself... it can only get worse.

Here’s another article by Lee Smith - exploring parallels between our current oligarchy - and the Athenian “Thirty Tyrants” - which formed after Athens were defeated by Sparta. I don’t agree on everything - but, lots of good stuff.
