Chaos abounds as Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly declines to say whether Biden was telling the truth when he said he had a “deal” on Ukraine aid:

The US seems to have backed off of the claim that they are going to invade Crimea. Apparently, there are new victory terms, but they are a secret.
It’s obviously insane to claim they are going to restore 2022 borders with this army. Certainly after the counteroffensive – which the entire media claimed would result in a seizing and ethnic cleansing of Crimea – no reasonable person thinks this is reasonable.
Between the start of the offensive in June, and September 29th, Russia has made more gains than the Ukraine. Russia’s gains are not particularly large, because they haven’t been trying to gain anything, because they understand this is a war of attrition. But the basic fact that the Ukraine is smaller than it was when this counteroffensive, with all of this Western training and equipment, began proves that nothing is happening here, other than mass death.
Americans are fat, gay retards. But anyone who is not literally retarded can understand that none of this makes any sense, on any level. And yet, because of the censorship, the White House can just keep going out there and saying it’s going to be an endless war.
It can’t be endless with this military. The Ukraine is conscripting young teenagers and men in their 60s, and virtually all of the professional soldiers are dead. So they’re going to need a new military. It’s not even clear if Poland is still on board with that or not. I don’t know where else you could get the new military.
I guess what the Sullivan Plan entails is stretching this out through another fake election in 2024, and then sending in Americans. I say “I guess,” because who the hell knows. That’s just what it looks like.
After the fake 2024 election, the government will claim it has a mandate to start World War III against Russia.
This is probably something people should be preparing for. I advise people to leave the United States. If the US is in a direct war with Russia, and, one would presume, China as well, things are going to get very brutal domestically. There will almost certainly be conscription in such a scenario.
RT:
The US and its allies will continue to support Kiev in its conflict with Moscow, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a press briefing on Monday. She promised more aid to Ukraine, after lawmakers decided not to include military assistance to Kiev in a short-term spending bill passed last week.
Jean-Pierre denied that support for Ukraine among Western nations is waning. “There is [a] strong, very strong international coalition behind Ukraine,” she told journalists. “And if [Russian President Vladimir] Putin thinks he can outlast us, he’s wrong. He’s wrong.”
The White House press secretary also announced “another package of aid for Ukraine soon,” but provided no details about either the timeline or the contents of the upcoming military assistance.
They have to keep sending these new packages every other week because the Ukraine government is always on the brink of collapse. The corruption in the Ukraine is so bad they have to make the donations regular.
The money disappears very quickly.
No one has any idea where it is going.
Of course, the Republicans have seized on this. They are expected to be against the war. Trump is against the war. Trump says it’s not our problem and a border dispute in the former USSR doesn’t matter. In fact, we know it doesn’t matter, because another border dispute in the former USSR was solved last week in the most brutal and inhume way possible – mass forced ethnic cleansing – and it was barely a footnote in the Western media.
That’s really an amazing thing. There is nothing fundamentally different about the Russia-Ukraine border dispute and the Armenia-Azerbaijan border dispute. They are more or less the same thing – people caught on the wrong side of a nation-state’s semi-arbitrary borders after the fall of the USSR.
If the US was not involved in the Ukraine, the border dispute would have wrapped up in a few days. Certainly in under a month. Ukraine would have ceded claims, like Armenia did last week, and there wouldn’t even need to be a population transfer. Instead, the US turned it into a massive, endless war, with hundreds of thousands dead and tens of millions displaced, because they think this is a way to hurt Russia.
The fact that this money is just disappearing into a black hole gives Kevin McCarthy an “out” to not be directly against the war. He doesn’t have to say “look, this is a joke – there have been 46 other conflicts in the territory of the former USSR since the fall of communism, and there is nothing unique about this one other than the fact that Washington and Brussels decided, arbitrarily, to turn it into a massive war.”
Instead, he gets to continue to support the concept of taking advantage of this border dispute to try to collapse the Russian government, but just bicker about the mechanics of how the war is being executed.
This is actually very similar to the way the conservatives were able to turn Keith Woods’ “Ban the ADL” campaign into a discussion about Jonathan Greenblatt personally. The conservatives always do this. Whenever there is a real issue, they spin it into something benign. They turned the Biden Family global criminal conspiracy into a discussion of Hunter Biden’s penis.
Other Former USSR Conflicts
I feel like it’s worthwhile to just go ahead and post the full list of these conflicts. Just so you understand how ridiculous this actually is. This is from Wikipedia. It’s not really a comprehensive list.
