American General offers key advice:

Putin Has New Plans For Ukraine Now

 

(PresidentialHill.com)- Retired United States General Wesley Clark suggested over the weekend that the Russian Federation is planning what’s known as an “envelopment” of Ukrainian troops who are currently holding back Russian forces and separatists in the eastern Donbas region.

Speaking to CNN, Clark said that Russian troops are currently north and south of the city of Dnipro, and that the city is going to be the “next key objective” for Russian fighters.

“If they can drive to Dnipro they’ll cut off the Ukrainian forces that are holding back the separatists in the Donbas,” he said. “And this is the next Russian objective, is to do an envelopment of these forces – cut them off, annihilate them.”

He said that if the Russians can do this then they will have taken out a “substantial part” of the Ukrainian army.

According to the retired general, the best way to stop Russian troops from successfully surrounding Ukrainian troops as they had to the eastern parts of the country is to ensure that Ukrainian forces have access to “heavy fighting equipment.”

…which is lucky, given that the United States just confirmed an additional $300 million aid package to Ukraine made up almost entirely of military hardware. The United States Department of Defense also announced this week that the agency will help facilitate the transfer of Soviet-made tanks from Poland to Ukraine.

To prevent Russia from winning in what could be the final weeks of this war, Ukrainian fighters will need as much help as they can get from NATO allies.

The only question is…will Russian President Vladimir Putin see the transfer of tanks and aircraft from NATO countries to Ukraine as an act of war? And might this start World War Three?

A Liberal Reporter Just Said the Quiet Part Out Loud About the Hunter Biden Story
By Matt Vespa

There are scores of examples of the liberal media behaving badly. Seldom is there the perfect clip that captures the snobbery and bias. Well, we have one with The Atlantic’s Anne Applebaum who was asked about the Hunter Biden laptop story which was dismissed as Russian disinformation during the 2020 election. For months, that was the talking point. Now, it’s a fact. It's been a fact since The New York Post first reported on the contents of the laptop. NY Post was censored by Big Tech over this story. They locked them out of their accounts. We knew it was true. National Public Radio dismissed it as a “distraction.” 

Well, The New York Times and The Washington Post filed essentially the same story that the NY Post did eons ago, and lo and behold the laptop is real. The emails on them are real. That leads to the possibility that the Biden’s are compromised by foreign governments. That Joe Biden is indeed heavily involved with his son’s shady government access deals. We don’t know yet because some people in this country worked 24/7 trying to suffocate this story. Even Bill Maher commented that this looks like a classic case of the liberal media burying a story that went against their narrative which has led to the erosion of trust with the media. Yes, indeed.

Is Hunter going to be nailed by a whistleblower? 

Congress is about ready to indict two Trump associates on charges regarding Jan 6 activities. Their actions were similar to what Hunter has done so, once again, we have two standards by which people are judged.

Hunter Biden Whistleblower Flees to Switzerland, Claims to Have Mountain of Data Coming

By Bonchie | 

The Hunter Biden scandal has exploded back onto the national scene over the last few weeks, with even leftwing media outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post finally reporting on the details. Much of that sudden interest is being driven by an expanding FBI investigation into the president’s son, and as I said in a prior article, there’s every reason to believe something big is coming.

Why? Because mainstream media outlets rarely publish stories harmful to Democrats unless they are trying to get out in front to control the narrative. We saw that occur with John Durham’s most recent indictments, where the DOJ selectively leaked to the Times in order to whitewash the situation. In short, we almost certainly haven’t seen the worst yet.

Now, a whistleblower previously made known for giving the hard drive from Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop to The Daily Mail back in 2020 is speaking out — and if he’s telling the truth, the Bidens should be losing sleep over it.

The source who distributed Hunter Biden‘s laptop to congressmen and media has fled the US to Switzerland, saying he fears retaliation from the Biden administration.

Jack Maxey gave DailyMail.com a copy of the hard drive from Hunter’s abandoned laptop in the spring of 2021.

He also gave copies and material from it to the Washington Post, New York Times, and Senator Chuck Grassley in his role as ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee – but he claims they all sat on it for months.

For the past two weeks, Maxey has been in hiding in Zurich, working with IT experts to dig out more data from the ‘laptop from hell’.

Maxey, a former co-host of ex-Donald Trump advisor Steve Bannon’s podcast the War Room, claims he and his colleagues have found ‘450 gigabytes of deleted material’ including 80,000 images and videos and more than 120,000 archived emails.

He said he intends to post them all online in a searchable database in the coming weeks.

Per this report, Jack Maxey has fled to Switzerland to finish a forensic recovery of deleted data that was on Hunter Biden’s laptop. And while the images and videos may be the most eye-catching thing that comes from this, it’s the deleted emails that could prove a boon toward providing more evidence of the Biden family’s corruption. Are there more mentions of “the big guy” getting his cut of shady payoffs from foreign entities? That’s a reference from a prior email that was directly linked to Joe Biden by one of Hunter Biden’s associates.

Maxey is also making claims that the Biden administration has targeted him in an attempt to shut him up, including black SUVs showing up outside his home after he first began distributing the laptop’s hard drive to congressional members and media outlets (almost all of which ignored it, including Republicans in the Senate). That is the reason, per his telling, that he’s now finishing his work in Switzerland.

As to the timeframe of when we will get all this new information, Maxey has set up an online portal where he says he’ll be publishing everything he’s found over the next several weeks. Until then, it’s a waiting game.

Still, a hefty dose of skepticism is always warranted on matters like this. Obviously, the Hunter Biden laptop is real, and the corruption of the Biden family is apparent. Yet, one can never underestimate the ability of government bureaucracies to cover for Democrats. There’s a ton of smoke and visible fire here, but until I see that the DOJ is actually bringing criminal charges, I won’t hold my breath for any real accountability.

Politically, though, this story is starting to take its toll. For the first time, the White House is having to field real questions on Hunter Biden’s possibly criminal escapades. And clearly, they have no good answers.

Everything the man they voted for proves he is what I always said he was and now they are paying for the pain of mistakes. and poor judgement. Same thing with Obama, Yes, Trump was rude, boorish and a tough New York real estate developer but he also was a doer and accomplished a great deal against unbelievable odds. Voters allowed themselves to be manipulated so they have only themselves to blame. NEW DATA CRUSHES BIDEN In a shocking turn of events for President Biden, it In has now been discovered that nearly three-quarters of U.S. consumers strongly believe the economy is on the ‘wrong track.’ According to Breitbart, the data was collected by Fannie Mae in a Home Purchase Sentiment survey. The Survey learned that an astounding 73% of Americans believed the economy was on the wrong track under Biden’s presidency. This new data makes it the highest number of Americans who are pessimistic about economy in the last 11 years. What’s even worse is that 25% of Americans believe their personal financial problems will continue to worsen over the next year. Mark Palim, Fannie Mae Vice President and Deputy Chief Economist, also explained, “Only 24 percent of consumers believe it’s a good time to buy a home, with similar levels of pessimism expressed by nearly all of the demographic groups surveyed.” ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++  In essence the West is faced with the prospect of falling into a war if they help the Ukraine's who are at war. Is that a rational reason why the West should not help another Democracy? Tanks and Guns for Ukraine, A Proxy War Develops As Ukraine faces Russia’s occupying armies, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba asked the West to supply more “guns, weaponry, and armaments.” This is with NATO promising to provide heavier munitions and the Czech Republic being the first allied nation to ship vehicles to Kyiv. The Public Plea On April 7, before a conference of NATO Foreign Ministers, Kuleba made the plea for more armaments for his war-torn nation in remarks to journalists on the street in Brussels, Belgium. “I have a pretty straightforward agenda. There are only three items on it: weapons, munitions, weapon systems,” Kuleba explained. “The more guns we obtain, and the quicker they get to Ukraine, the more lives we’ll save.” Many western military commentators have remarked on Ukraine’s extremely strong and efficient resistance to Russian invading forces. This is owing in part to NATO partners’ training and backing in the eight years since Russia took Crimea in 2014 and supported separatists in Donbas. “Their accomplishments have largely been achieved through the prudent use of handheld, light equipment, such as drones, anti-tank armaments, and air defense systems,” British military scholar Lawrence Freedman wrote in an April 6 blog post. “They have a wish list that has been addressed with western contributors in order to fill some of their shortfalls.” “This involves maintaining a current supply of the weapons they now have, as well as providing additional armor, planes, and artillery to help them prepare for future operations,” Freedman explained. Despite Russia’s repeated warnings that arms supplies to Ukraine are legitimate targets, it was unable to stop them. Poland, which has a key arms supply line to Ukraine, also has a large number of T-72 vehicles. There has been much discussion in the media in recent days about whether Warsaw will transfer them to Ukraine. Poland has been cautious of public debates about the specifics of weaponry transfers to Kyiv after plans for Warsaw to provide all the MiG-29 fighter fighters made headlines, then fell through. The Public is Kept in the Dark The contents of conversations over military supply will not be publicly disclosed, according to Jakub Kumoch, the director of the Foreign Relations Bureau in President Andrzej Duda’s office. “Every discussion about assistance for Ukraine is a conversation between Poland and its closest partners, taking into account the requirements of Ukraine and the desire to stop the war as swiftly as possible,” he explained. Kumoch was questioned about the gruesome photographs surfacing from Bucha, depicting slain Ukrainian people, some with their wrists bound and bearing indications of torture, in an appearance with Polish media on April 7. Ukraine charged Russian forces with killing people and committing war crimes in Bucha, but the Kremlin denied the allegations, accusing Kyiv of staging a “monstrous fabrication.” ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
