Pope Evokes Specter of Ukraine War Sparking Global Conflict
everyone that the time has come for humanity to abolish war before it abolishes humanity, Pope Francis said on Sunday.
"More than a month has passed since the invasion of Ukraine, since
the start of this cruel and senseless war, which, like every war, is a
defeat for everyone, for all of us," he said to thousands of people in
St. Peter's Square for his Sunday blessing.
"We must repudiate war, a place of death where fathers and mothers
bury their children, where men kill their brothers without even seeing
them, where the powerful decide and the poor die," he said.
The war in Ukraine was destroying the country's future, he said,
citing a statistic that half of the country's children had to flee the
country.
"That is the bestiality of war, something that is barbarous and
sacrilegious," he said, urging his listeners not to consider war as
inevitable or something to get used to.
"If we emerge from this (war) the same as we were before, we will all
be in some way guilty. Faced with the danger of self-destruction,
humanity must understand that the time has come to abolish war, to
cancel it from the history of man before it cancels man from history,"
he said.
Since Russia invaded its neighbor on Feb. 24, Francis has several times spoken of a possible nuclear conflict.
"I beg every politician involved to reflect on this, to make a
commitment, and, looking at martyred Ukraine, to understand that every
day of war worsens the situation for everyone," he said.
"Enough! Stop! Let the weapons fall silent. Negotiate seriously for peace," he said." Newsmax

Biden’s Putin speech in Poland is a catastrophe
something Biden said had to be walked back, cleaned up, clarified or refuted.
Joe Biden’s call-to-arms speech
in Poland was long on soaring rhetoric about the virtues of democracy
but woefully short on what more the West will do to help Ukraine defeat
the Russian invasion. But by the time he got to the finish, most of that
was forgotten.
What mattered most and what will be remembered for a long time was a single line the president of the United States said about the president of Russia: “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”
In the context of the speech and the slaughter of Ukrainian civilians,
it’s impossible to understand that line as anything other than a call
for regime change, a move that would dramatically raise the stakes with
Russia at a time when Biden has been at pains to lower them.
It also raises the question of whether toppling Putin, a subject
never before mentioned by the White House, is suddenly the new policy of
the United States and NATO.
Ah, no.
Shortly after the speech, a Biden aide told pool reporters that “the
president’s point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power
over his neighbors or the region. He was not discussing Putin’s power in
Russia, or regime change.”
No, American troops in Poland are not headed to Ukraine, despite what Biden told them." NYP

Biden AGAIN Admits Sanctions Don’t Work After Announcing More Sanctions
"Biden announced more sanctions against Russia before telling a reporter than he never said
sanctions would work.
Biden announced that Russian lawmakers and defence companies should “share the pain” of sanctions: Biden snapped at a reporter who stated “Sir, deterrence didn’t work,”
and further asked “What makes you think Vladimir Putin will alter
course based on the action you’ve taken today?”
“Let’s get something straight. Do you remember, if you covered me
from the very beginning, I did not say that, in fact, the sanctions
would deter him,” Biden sniped back.
He added, “Sanctions never deter. You keep talking about that.
Sanctions never deter. The maintenance of sanctions, the maintenance of
sanctions, the increasing the pain, and the demonstration why I asked
for this NATO meeting today is to be sure that after a month, we will
sustain what we’re doing, not just next month, the following month, but
for the remainder of this entire year. That’s what will stop him.”
“You believe the actions today will have an impact on making Russia change course in Ukraine?” the reporter further inquired.
“That’s not what I said. You’re playing a game with me,” Biden
blasted back “I know. The answer is no. I think what happens is we have
to demonstrate — the purpose, the single most important thing is for us
to stay unified, and the world continue to focus on what a brute this

Uranium, oil and technology: How Russia got stronger as Bidens and Clintons got richer
The American dynasties counted their victories in millions of dollars
in donations to the Clinton Foundation, speech fees to Bill Clinton,
and lucrative board seats and consulting deals for Hunter Biden.
The appeasement
policy began in February 2009. Russia had invaded its neighbor and
former client state, Georgia, six months earlier. The lame-duck George
W. Bush administration planned to put missile defense structures in
Eastern Europe to deter Russian aggression against its neighbors.
But one of the Obama-Biden administration's first foreign policy maneuvers was to cancel that plan via a "secret letter"
to Putin's placeholder, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Why?
U.S. leaders apparently wanted to make deals with Russia, and giant
missile silos in Putin's backyard were a nonstarter for Moscow.
But the canceled missile defense in Eastern Europe was only the
beginning in a long line of concessions to Russia that not only
emboldened Putin, but advanced Russian military capabilities in ways
that are now having deadly consequences for Ukrainian civilians (think
hypersonic missiles) while threatening the global economy.
By 2010, the Obama-Biden-Clinton Russian reset was in full swing.
The administration put forth a mutual nuclear disarmament treaty known
as "New START," which, while noble in its declared intentions, risked
weakening a compliant partner such as the United States while
strengthening a Russia not constrained by the rules.
Another deal that Obama, Biden, and Clinton gave the Russians was
called the "123 Agreement," which allowed state-owned Russian entities
like nuclear behemoth Rosatom to sell nuclear materials directly to U.S.
utility companies.
This deal continues to pay huge dividends to the Obama Foundation's
top donor, Chicago-based Exelon Corporation. And President Biden has
allowed that deal to survive even during the Ukraine war, exempting
nuclear fuel sales to U.S. utilities from his recent sanctions targeting
Russian energy imports.
Meanwhile, the U.S.-driven 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action,
commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal, and other so-called
denuclearization efforts with Libya and North Korea, effectively sent
hundreds of thousands of tons of uranium to Russia for enrichment — a
huge cash and energy windfall for Putin.On top of these nuclear handouts, the Obama-Biden-Clinton team gave Russia one of the biggest prizes of all: Uranium One.
Before the Russian takeover, Uranium One was a Canadian company that
mined Uranium around the world. It had assets on at least three
continents — Eurasia, Africa, and North America. Its assets in Wyoming,
Utah, and other states constituted approximately 20% of U.S. uranium
capacity and meant that the Obama-Biden Committee of Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) would have to sign off on the deal. They could have said no, but the deal was approved.
Investors in the deal had funneled $145 million into Secretary Clinton's family foundation. Its approval helped to give Russia a near-monopoly on global uranium production.
After investigative reporter and author Peter Schweizer broke the
Uranium One story in 2015, a State Department under secretary, Jose
Fernandez, took the blame. Fernandez later landed a "very rewarding"
position at the Clinton-connected Center for American Progress.
Fernandez has now come back through the revolving door and is a top
official in the Biden State Department.
But Clinton's State Department was not the only Obama-Biden department that extended an advantage to Putin.
Eric Holder's Department of Justice swept Russian crimes under the
rug — not wanting to disrupt the Russian reset. So, the Russian spy ring
known as the "Illegals Program," which had penetrated the highest
levels of American politics and finance, just went away. Biden said he did not want to create "a flap."
Perhaps the worst of all the Obama-Biden-Clinton giveaways to Putin
was known as the Skolkovo initiative. Skolkovo, in suburban Moscow, was
the site of Russia's attempt to create its own Silicon Valley. The
Clinton State Department heavily promoted the effort. As it happens,
Clinton's Big Tech donors comprised 17 of the 28 American partners in
Skolkovo.
In reality, Skolkovo was a cyber-warfare tech hub and a thinly-veiled cover for corporate espionage and military build-up.
A 2012 U.S. Army report put it this way: "Skolkovo is arguably an
overt alternative to clandestine industrial espionage — with the
additional distinction that it can achieve such a transfer on a much
larger scale and more efficiently … [Skolkovo] has, in fact, been
involved in defense-related activities since December 2011, when it
approved the first weapons-related project — the development of a
hypersonic cruise missile engine."
So Obama, Biden, and Clinton helped Russia secure innovative
technology and weaponry — including hypersonic missiles — that are now, according to the U.S. Air Force, more advanced than America's similar weapons. The Russian missiles have now allegedly been used in the assault on Ukraine.
But Obama, Clinton, and Biden got a lot. As just one example, before
Obama even left office in 2017, he set up the Obama Foundation. One of
his very first donors was Exelon Corporation, which had received
billions in cheap Russian nuclear fuel sales thanks to the 123
Agreement. Exelon, which was known as "the President's Utility" pledged a
staggering $10 million to Obama's foundation before he was even out of
office.
Biden's family and its partners got hooked up with the former mayor
of Moscow's family, who sent at least $3.5 million to a company
cofounded by Hunter Biden. Thanks to the Hunter Biden laptop, we know
that the Russian oligarch behind that $3.5 million may have invested upwards of $200 million in other Biden-linked entities and that Joe Biden personally benefited from his son's business dealings. And this is all before Biden was named Obama's point man in Ukraine.
As mentioned, the Clinton Foundation got the $145 million in
donations from Uranium One investors. On top of that, the Clintons got
$500,000 in the form of a "speaking fee" from a Kremlin-backed bank for
Bill Clinton's 2010 speech in Moscow. They also got Skolkovo-linked
donations from now-sanctioned Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg, directly, and indirectly from his varied interests." JN
