“At night, Bruce L. Jackson is president of the U.S. Committee to Expand NATO, giving intimate dinners for Senators and foreign officials. By day, he is director of strategic planning for Lockheed Martin Corporation, the world's biggest weapons maker.”

……this all goes back to the Neocons. Almost everyone else was against expanding NATO because they knew what would happen (Clinton Sec of Def Perry almost quit over adding the Baltics and Poland). Geo. Kennan said it was a “fateful error”

: we have been on ever side of every conflict since the USSR fell. It’s all about the Benjamins for many, not about much else. We have ignored two or our best informed military presidents, Washington and Eisenhower.
Washington told us to stay away from foreign entanglements and Eisenhower told us to beware the military industrial complex……we are neck deep in both
Here is where I am (I know no one asked) based on what I have read and people I have interacted with on Ukraine. This is “the last stand” for Putin and Russia. All is not as it seems. He feels cornered after 30 years of NATO expansion. Russia has lost its buffer states.
There is also a religious aspect to this, the Russian orthodox are still very conservative, they see the west as godless and almost unhuman. They see NATO taking away their sphere of influence, and the patriarch of Constantinople peeling away “their” Ukrainian church.
Putin is 69 years old, likely (from pictures) sick, he knows his demographics are horrible…..this is the last stand, win or lose…..meanwhile they destroy everything and salt the earth. This means nukes are likely “on the table”.
Lastly, this is not just Putin….it’s deeper.

and many others for helping me understand different parts of this. I hope my revelations for myself help others decipher what is going on. All is not as it seems and it is nowhere near what we are being told.
None of this validated Putin, but don’t buy the mainstream narrative. Putin is a bad dude, but he is not being irrational. He did have other options, like shutting Germany off on nat gas, but I believe he thinks this is his last stand. Very dangerous.
I am in a state of minor shock, I knew we were not clean in this, but I had no idea and I am sure most other do not either. I need to “check my priors” as a friend says and evaluate my thoughts. 🤯

…..William Burns, current director of the CIA, former ambassador to the Russian Federation, penned a memo “Nyet means nyet” to then president Obama and VP Biden in 2008 saying that Ukraine inclusion was seen as military aggression.
