Americans are paying the bill for our government’s ‘unwavering support’ of Ukraine

The American government's aimless support for Ukraine is counterproductive and leaves the world unprepared for future conflict.

Glenn Beck warns: Death of Aleksandr Dugin’s daughter could become the next 'Archduke Ferdinand moment'



We still don’t know who was behind the car bombing that killed the daughter of Aleksandr Dugin, a prominent Russian ultranationalist and alleged ally of President Vladimir Putin, on a highway outside of Moscow on Saturday. But whether it was a foreign strike or an inside job, it could have a devastating effect on the world.

On the radio program Monday, Glenn Beck warned this could be an "Archduke Ferdinand" moment and talked about why he believes "we need to be very careful, very prayerful, and prepared."

"I believe this war with Russia, this proxy war, is going to end up being Biden's biggest failure and largest criminal scandal in American history," Glenn began, going on to suggest it could also lead to "the end of the western way of life if everything goes wrong, God forbid."

It appears that Dugin, who is often called "Putin's brain," was the intended target of the attack, but a last-minute decision to switch cars put Dugin's daughter, Daria Dugina, in the doomed vehicle at the time of the explosion. Now, Russia is blaming both America and Ukraine, while Dugin is calling for revenge and for Russia to ramp up attacks on Ukraine.

"[Ukraine President] Zelenskyy has warned of a nastier phase of war as Russia says the bombing was a contract killing from Ukraine," Glenn explained. "If Putin escalates this war ... I believe [the United States] will respond. I urge you to pray for the president and those in power around him," he added.

"A war at this time ... is the ultimate way to change the world," Glenn said. "Imagine if we had a devastating war. That's how worlds change. That's how everything changes."

He continued, "I hope this isn't it, and I don't think it is, but we don't know. I have been saying for a very long time that the next war will be fought in such a way that it will sneak up on you and we'll have an 'Archduke Ferdinand moment.' Nobody knew who Archduke Ferdinand was and we went into World War I over it. Nobody in the world really knows who Aleksandr Dugin is. I hope he's not the guy and this isn't the reason, but you need to know who he is because ... he is wildly dangerous."

"I tend to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Pray for your country, and pray for guidance and peace," Glenn said.

US Taxpayers Are Funding Ukraine’s Blacklisting Of American Dissenters For Thought Crimes

The government of Ukraine is censoring American politicians, military theorists, and academics who are deemed 'pro-Russian.'

As Ukrainians Defect To Russia, We Should Ask Whether Our Billions Are Saving Democracy Or Aiding Corruption

The more we learn about Ukraine, the less it resembles the Jeffersonian democracy Biden tries to conjure up in his speeches on the subject.

Russia is holding nuclear drills in response to Biden sending rockets to Ukraine



The nuclear forces of Russia are holding drills in a region just northeast of Moscow.

The decision to begin these drills comes just one day after President Joe Biden announced his decision to send advanced missile system to Ukraine, the New York Post reported.

According to an independent news agency in Russia, around 1,000 Russian soldiers are taking part in intense maneuvers using more than 100 military vehicles, including Yars intercontinental missile launchers.

These drills are taking place in the Ivanovo Oblast, which is just under 200 miles northeast of Moscow.

The drills, which are said to be aimed at preparing Russia’s intercontinental missile systems for combat, required Russian soldiers to march more than 60 miles, camouflage sophisticated military equipment, and practice posting guard.

The training exercises also involved Typhoon-M armored counter-sabotage vehicles, which are said to be equipped with remotely operated weapon stations.

Russia’s nuclear drills commenced after Biden published an op-ed in the New York Times on Tuesday in which the president announced his administration’s intention to send anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, and precision rocket systems to Ukraine.

In the editorial, Biden said, “We have moved quickly to send Ukraine a significant amount of weaponry and ammunition so it can fight on the battlefield and be in the strongest possible position at the negotiating table.”

The president indicated that his administration’s priority of achieving a “sovereign and prosperous Ukraine” is more likely to be achieved if the U.S. provides the country with the weaponry and munitions required to dispel the invading Russian forces.

Biden wrote, “America’s goal is straightforward: We want to see a democratic, independent, sovereign and prosperous Ukraine with the means to deter and defend itself against further aggression.”

The president continued, “That’s why I’ve decided that we will provide Ukrainians with more advanced rocket systems and munitions that will enable them to more precisely strike key targets on the battlefield in Ukraine.”

The Biden administration’s plans to send weapons are an about-face from a position just previously held by the president in which he insisted that the U.S. would not deliver any rockets to Ukraine.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government does not trust Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy not to fire rockets into Russian territory.

Peskov also accused the U.S. of escalating tensions and hindering peace talks by sending additional weapons to Ukraine.

He said, “We believe that the U.S. is deliberately and diligently adding fuel to the fire. The United States is adhering to the position of fighting Russia until the last Ukrainian.”
