At the end of March, Biden caused a minor incident when he declared that Putin “cannot remain in power”. Now he’s asking the U.S. Congress for another $33 billion to support Ukraine, including $20 billion in military aid. That’s on top of $3 billion in military aid the U.S. has already sent since February.
To put the $23 billion number in perspective, it’s bigger than the annual military budget of Spain, Brazil or Turkey. In fact, only 15 countries in the entire world spend more than $23 billion a year on defence. Famously defence-minded Israel spends a ‘mere’ $24 billion.
As I noted in a previous post, there’s lots of evidence the U.S. actually wanted a war with Russia – notwithstanding the tendency of some commentators to dismiss this claim as ‘Russian propaganda’.
Indeed, Congressman Adam Schiff couldn’t have been much clearer when he stated on the floor of the U.S. Senate, “The United States aids Ukraine and her people so that we can fight Russia over there, and we don’t have to fight Russia here.” (That was in January of 2020 during Trump’s impeachment trial.)
However, Philip Breedlove – the former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO – has now gone one better, leaving even less room for ambiguity. During a recent podcast interview with the New York Times, he said, “I think we are in a proxy war with Russia. We are using the Ukrainians as our proxy forces.” Here’s a screenshot of the transcript:
As the journalist Wyatt Reed noted, Breedlove “said the quiet part out loud”. His statement lends support to those cynical observers (such as veteran U.S. diplomat Chas Freeman) who’ve suggested the U.S. will fight for Ukraine “to the last Ukrainian”.
Reed, who spotted Breedlove’s gaffe on Wednesday, also noted that not a single news outlet had reported on it. A quick Google search reveals this is still the case: no Western news outlets have deigned to mention that the former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO referred to Ukrainians as “our proxy forces”.
This is noteworthy, given that in yesterday’s press conference, Biden rejected the claim NATO was engaged in a proxy war against Russia as “not true”. Who should we believe – the guy who led NATO operations in Europe for three years, or the guy who didn’t?

“This will be a huge collective effort”
Not from me!
She did a series where they restore someone’s house for free because they were struggling financially; we will need an army of shows like that after over a decade of these Globalist stooges. Remember Dominic Littlewood saying to her once they completed furnishing some luck buggers property…..”Bottoms up”. One of those situations where if you just thought what you were saying for another second you might realise the relevance LOL.
Why Spain
Is the owner a WFH civil servant?
Why not help a UK pensioner or family with disabled members. I suppose the vitamin D intake would be too low.
Oops my mistake, I was confusing Amanda Holden with Melinda Messenger from Cowboy Builders…..Easy mistake to make.
True, especially as Amanda Holden now looks like somebody else.
Net-zero is for the lower orders, and is part of the Establishment’s attempt to impose a total-control state on our society.
Off-T
Here’s one for all the pussy lovers out there. These cats are going to be released in the Lake District to help fight… go on have a guess…
Yes, Climate Change.
Whoopee.
All becomes clear in the last few paras.

Wolves in Scotland I heard the other day…..Wouldn’t fancy being a lost hiker in that neck of the woods with Wolf packs on the loose!
Reminds me of the Australian CSIRO recommending the release of cane toads to combat cane beetles, if only they could turn back the hands of time. Too many experts!!

John le Seur at TCW with an absolutely first class News Round-up and all the links are accessible.
Much lauding, rightly of Trump and Vance; links to ‘Geoff Buys Cars’ and EV’s on Motability (😀), ‘Blackbelt Barrister’ interviews the wonderful Rupert Lowe, Michael Heaver on Italy’s Ixit, and loads more.
Dig in it’s a feast.
I watch all the channels you’ve mentioned and Derek Domino! He’s a great laugh based in ireland with tons of common sense that applies just as much to Britain
Cheers Dinger.
No, really, it’s OK.
They’re celebrities, and just like politicians, the rules don’t apply to them.
Just us plebs.
C02 emissions from Climatrons are negative as are emissions from burning wood in power stations instead of coal or gas.
All C02 emissions in the noble quest to “save the planet” don’t count.
Let’s have a wip round to buy them both a one way ticket……
Nut Zero does create jobs…..cleaning up all the dead birds, around windmills and solar farm and removing the dead whales and other mammals, from our beaches, who have been sent mad by the noise from windmills.
To be honest, I couldn’t care less about the hypocrisy of the elite classes anymore, especially a couple of ‘C’ listers on a rehashed format TV show, done many times in many ways.
All I care about is that we can bring an end to this bullshit, before it ruins our economy and society further. .
Media chatterers, luvvies, academicians, green foghorns and assorted parliamentary windbags – specialist subject Do As I Say Not As I Do.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a low-CO2 alternative to flying, like train travel, linking the UK to Spain?
Oh, wait a minute…
This is just another example of the “great and the good” telling us what to do and totally disregarding their own advice. Remember how Emma Thompson flew over from the US to join an Extinction Rebellion demonstration in 2019? The Royal Family, journalists, broadcasters, politicians, they’re all at it: enjoying the high life while wishing reductions in choice, freedom and prosperity on the rest of us.
“before returning back”
Oh dear, oh dear. And from The Torygraph.
“I think we made 28 flights in total, so we were absolutely shattered and I broke at least four sets of nails…so you might see me relaxing on the beach or going to the spa”
😀😀😀
How would she possibly cope with a real job?
You could’ve easily cut the number of flights down by adjusting the scheduling of production. Just shows how flagrant they are in asserting their true beliefs – please rid me of the shoddy trash that turns up at airports these days and surround me with fellow ubermensch.
“Let them eat cake” Typical leftie BBC Luvvie.
Oh come on….we all know it is virtue signalling bollocks. Just look at all the Premier League matches that claim they are an ‘Albert Sustainable Production’ and yet in the pre-match warm up they have used massive flame guns….
Gosh. It is almost as if they know the idea of CO2 driven climate change is a barrel load of bunk.
To be honest, who cares. Airline travel is not going to disappear. Why would anyone think it will? If allowed, improvement in the way we do everything will change, better ways.
