Putin Projecting Anger, Escalating Attacks As Ukraine Continues To Resist

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is about to enter it's third week with no end in sight. In fact, it seems that Putin is angry and frustrated as he continues to escalate attacks.

As we've stated before, Ukraine is far from being an example of democracy and freedom. However, the continued Russian invasion is a clear violation of sovereignty. Also, Russian strikes are landing dangerously close to NATO member Poland, suggesting that Putin is getting desperate.

Unfortunately, many are falling for fake news reports of Ukrainian civilians being used as human shields. Even if Ukraine was doing such a thing, the blood spilled is on Putin's hands. America has often faced enemies hiding behind civilians but killing the innocent has never been a legitimate option.

British Cabinet Minister Sajid Javid gave Putin a severe warning on Monday:

"We have been very clear, even before the war started, that if there was an attack on any NATO country, even if just a single toe cap of a Russian soldier steps into NATO territory, then it will be war with NATO and NATO would respond,"

British Cabinet Minister Sajid Javid

Javid also commented on the 31 documented Russian attacks on health facilities in the conflict so far, warning that Putin will be held accountable for war crimes.

Anyone who thinks Putin is some guardian angel seeking to liberate the Ukrainian people is choosing to ignore the Eurasianistic worldview of the Soviet reminiscent dictator.

CIA Director William Burns is describing Putin as someone "stewing in a combustible combination of grievance and ambition for many years". In fact, Burns believes that Putin is likely to continue escalating the conflict as there is no way out of his current predicament.

"I think Putin is angry and frustrated right now,... He’s likely to double down and try to grind down the Ukrainian military with no regard for civilian casualties."

CIA Director William Burns

While Burns may or may not be a reliable source, it seems he is correct that there is no clear path to ending the war without a larger, potentially global conflict.

In fact, this appears to be a war that Putin cannot afford to lose. Hopefully Putin's definition of victory will change given the cost incurred so far. President Zelenskyy is not backing down and neither is Putin.

However, even if Russia did back down now, the world could not just move on from the attack as if it never happened. Putin has incurred lasting harm to Russia's reputation. Only time will tell how the conflict plays out. Let us hope The U.S. does not get drawn into the fight.

  1. It is debatable whether this human tragedy could have been avoided; however, a STRONG American leader would have surely given Putin serious thoughts before he invaded Ukraine. The debacle in Afghanistan, the US Southern border and other indicators have left the Communist world in no doubt as to "Now is the time to strike". Shockingly weak and indecisive "Greenie" will go down in history as THE WORST President of the US. Yes, these are my personal views, but my feelings are that come November we will see radical changes in both the House and Senate. Changes that will bring the US back on courses as the World Economic Superpower and much more. Truly, where is the sense of worth and dignity in the current ruling Administration?

    1. President Trump would not have let this happen. Biden is a bumbling fool and doesn't even know where he is have the time.

    1. Yes, it will get worse if Biden doesn't step up and do something. Putin is madman and he has a large
      country,, so why does he want to enlarge his area by taking other countries?

      1. What would you like Biden to do, get us involved in a war with Russia? WWIII? Nuclear weapons, on our soil this time? You had best think about what you're saying.
        The US should stay out of it, and the Wrecking Ball should learn to keep his senile mouth shut.

  2. Is this the beginning or the ending of the beginning? WW2 began with an invasion of a Sovereign Country and the World stood by and did nothing, so another Country and another. So where does it stop. I don't want another war but I also don't want what happened in WW2 to happen again. Biden is a weak ineffectual President that appears to be experiencing cognitive decline. The VP is just stupid, so who will lead the US if escalation occurs?

    1. What's happening in Ukraine is a terrible injustice, but the USA needs to stop getting involved in every foreign skirmish everywhere in the world. Haven't we learned that lesson yet?? Is getting involved in another European war really worth potentially incinerating the entire planet????All parties involved need to cool down and take a couple steps back and see the big picture. We all stand to lose if this goes worldwide nuclear, even Putin. Is it really worth it????

  3. The Biden Administration has no sense of worth and dignity because it’s namesake is a pitifully weak senile old man who can’t put two meaningful sentences together regardless of the numerous speech-making aides/devices he’s been provided during his time in office His inept handling of the abandonment of the people of Afghanistan to the warmongering Taliban and forfeiture of billions of dollars of our most sensitive military equipment and supplies further add to the totality of his stupidity and lack of any kind of leadership. Biden is an embarrassment to our great Nation and will go down in US History as the worst of any president to ever occupy the highest office of the land. May God protect our Country until we are able to rid it of him in the next presidential election!

    1. Well stated all he wants to do is establish a socialist state he has been in the government I do believe we need term limits NOW some of those in government have been there too long.

  4. The new Hitler reincarnated must be stopped for his crimes against humanity period. Nato, the EU and the United States, Briton, France, Germany, Russian citizens needs to put an end to this evil ASAP, the Budapest Agreement was raped by moron leaders in office currently. Stop being weak cowards and feckless leaders which are why Putin is allowed to do what he is doing to the human race. Biden is a Traitor period and should be placed in jail for treason against the free world. It, China's Joe Biden's syndicate family have demonstrated illegally criminally insane conduct, this fake President is not the elected legitimately by the citizens of the United States. Election Fauld and corrupt unconstitutional Federal agencies heads like the FBI's Director Chritopher Wray, the Attorney General Barr, Joint Chief of Staff General Mark Milie and even Trump's Chief of staff Mark Meadows, and VP Pence shitbrains put him / Biden into office, and they should all be hanged for treason. All / most of Biden's minions in his administration currently should receive capital punishment as well for their arming our enemies (Russia, China, Iran, Issa, and other dictators' crimes against humanity along with most of the US Congress members for being complicit in this evil done to us. Now, especially Loid Austin as a special kind of affirmative action demonstrated retard Secretary of the Defense currently guilty of Treason when he armed the Issa Terrorists and the Taliban terrorists' destroying Afghans Democratic Government and now trying to destroy the Ukraine Democratic country currently.

  5. The most telling words here, are in the last paragraph [ "However, even if Russia did back down now, the world could not just move on from the attack as if it never happened. Putin has incurred lasting harm to Russia’s reputation. Only time will tell how the conflict plays out. Let us hope The U.S. does not get drawn into the fight."]

    The damage to Russia's or Putin's reputation is of minor importance in this story...The major points being that Putin has killed thousands and destroyed billions of dollars worth of a neighboring country's infrastructure and social structure. The damage to Russia's reputation is a minor concern. Should Putin be allowed to do this and then just walk away. This writer has missed the salient points. The U.S and all free nations are already involved. We cannot escape our responsibilities for this situation.

    True, we would not be here if we had any kind of a normal leader rather than the weak, mentally crippled, front-puppet for socialism that is our current President. That an elite oligarchy of socialist miscreants, now rules over us is our own fault. This is the worst American screwup in our history and we had better get control of the situation if we are going to survive as a free republic!

    1. The ruined reputation is Putin's reputation, not Russia's. What is interesting is so many of the Russian people have publicly state they are against what Putin is doing. People have been arrested for speaking out.

    2. As i see it, the only way to stop the mass murder of civilians is to assassinate Putin and any Russian military leader who is directing Putin's wishes.

  6. All the world, especially our enemies, see an opening now with Biden in the WH to go full steam ahead in their desires to take down America. They will all be giving it a go.America will suffer because of our weak leadership and our weakened military....all thanks to Joe Biden.

    1. There are more people that agree with you then the media puts out for everyone to see. Biden should step down and let someone who isn't afraid to do what has to be done to keep this country strong and safe do it. Stop destroying America

      1. The socialists want to do exactly that: to destroy our society as we know it, and then "build better" by installing a socialistic government. Barack Obama called it his "Change." Just another name for socialism / marxism.

  7. Biden has destroyed America by his policies. Now I'm watching for Putin to finish us off. Like lighting us up to 3500 degrees or maybe bio weapons or both. Then the Dems will do there happy dance. No more America. And if this keeps going China, Iran, North Korea,the Taliban they all will get in on it too. Can't wait to see what happens.

    1. Steve if you are awake then you know the truth so quit denying it. The Biden gang are just the newest communists on the block and this is the latest attempt to destroy America.

  8. No one wants a large war putin is relying on it will see how much more nato will take before they will be forced into the war !!!!

    1. Put Trump back into the White House. In the elections at the end of the year for the House of Rep and Senate, appoint Trump as head of the House of Rep. This can be accomplished without an election. He will just be appointed by the members of the House. Then Trump can impeach Biden, Harris and Pelosi. Next in line to be President would be Donald J. Trump. So Trump can recapture the Presidency which was clearly stolen from him by the Communist Democrats who cheated with the voting machines, drop boxes, harvesting votes. There is no way that Biden could be President. Maybe he received 3 votes from his hidden place in his basement. This is the way that Trump can capture the Presidency and lead our country to economic and domestic victory and victory with the dictators of the world as Putin, Iran, XI and other dictators.

  9. Sleepy Joe is a bumbling mentally challenged fool who will eventually get the US into WWIII, but only after he has economically destroyed the Country. If ever a president deserved impeachment under Article 25 he is the one! While I wish no harm to anyone the US and World would be better off without Sleepy Joe Biden!!

  10. Isn’t the USA supposed to lead ? We should be ashamed of not leading, not assisting with weapons too little and very late. Tomorrow the free world will be hostage to Russia and/ or China. Now it is a loose loose situation, so we need to do something right: right now !!!! If Putin really wants war, so be it . He is a bully and so far is getting away using his tactics.

  11. Covid apparently didn't kill enough people. In view of their goal to kill off 3/4 of the world's population I think this is just another attempt to arrange the planet the way they want it.

  12. What I do not understand is how or why Putin thought the Ukrainian people would just let him march all over them.
    Did he really think they would not fight back?

  13. People in this country are not using any common sense whatsoever all they're talking about impeachment. Yeah right that ain't going to work, they're talking about well 2024 is coming up we've won, well that ain't going to work because this country may not be here anymore by 2024. By then this country and its freedoms may not be here anymore, wake up people before it's too late we're at the crossroads of destroying our own country.. any moment this could happen there could be a World War 3 because of this government's woke weakness. And what's so sad the People by the millions in this country are letting this happen.

    1. "Liberal" policies. Indoctrination in schools,, a stupid voter base,, all have contributed to the downfall of this country.. The socialists and communists work to undermine this country 24/7. It's like a spreading cancer. Brainwashed citizens have been indoctrinated since childhood to believe that big government controlling your lives is what 8s best for you. Google The Goals of The Communist Manifesto. The Democrat Party has achieved most of those goals during the past 60 years! The demoxrat party is the most subversive political party in the history of this country...all for your own good off course, they think.

  14. Unfortunately we and all nations can blame the good old US for ties in the territories of UKRAINE
    The civilians are in enslaved by militias NAZI'S groups, there is no democracy but money laundering biolabs and HUMAN trafficking that facts bidens Clinton's Obama's administrations not only UKRAINE but all nations including the US
    NATO is very aware of the corruption of the United states because they too along with the United nations
    So you talking about blame its soly on money greed and power in the hands satans evildoers
    Man will self destruct all HUMANITY at no cost for pleasure greed and power including every news media
    God help us all
    I strongly believe in faith over fear that PUTIN China and TRUMP are winning this satans evildoers back to the sorros gates of hell Amen

  15. Biden is a total disaster and unfit to be president. The liberal zombies are still totally oblivious to the harm this incompetent nincompoop is doing to America. I saw a bumper sticker that summed it up perfectly. Liberal: a noun. Someone so open minded their brains have fallen out.

  16. Russia is NOT going to stop because he knows Joe Biden is a Weak Moron and America is NEXT ! You all better VOTE Trump ASAP or we are doomed !~
