HALF-FULL REPORT 01/28/22
This map has been appearing around the Internet this week, displaying Ukraine’s ethnic-political divide with Viktor Yanukovych being the Kremlin’s stooge. His getting kicked out of power in 2014 was the pretext for Putin seizing Crimea plus much of Donetsk and Luhansk in 2014.
So now Putin is threatening Ukraine by massing tens of thousands of troops on its border, to take advantage of Squatter Joe’s perceived weakness – with the Dems grasping the opportunity to beat war drums as a massive deflection away from their electoral woes.
So whose war threat is the biggest bluff? Turns out it’s Putin’s. Yes, it may raise your eyebrows, but Joe – or his handlers – hold the higher cards here.
************
First to understand is that Moscow looks upon Ukraine as Beijing looks upon Taiwan – it belongs to them with full independence intolerable.
Second is that Russian rule of Ukrainians was genocidal, culminating in the Ukrainian Holocaust or Holodomor, Stalin’s terror-famine of purposefully starving over ten million Ukrainians to death. (The classic account is Robert Conquest’s Harvest of Sorrow.) Thus Ukrainians have a “Never Again” attitude towards Russia.
Third is that Putin needs to rattle sabers to look strong in the eyes of Russians, and such rattling at Ukraine is always popular with them. A majority of Russians get their jollies by their country pushing other countries around, especially given the humiliation of their country sinking from superpower to third-rate power.
So Putin can’t believe his luck that America, Russia’s great nemesis, is ridiculous enough let a demented fool cheat his way into the White House – might as well take advantage of foreign enemy weakness and pump his popularity up at home, and go for a two-fer expecting the Squatter to cave just like the Euroweenies.
But to his shock, he discovers that some cabal with cojones in the Pentagon responds by promptly sending Stingers and Javelins by the boatload to Kiev, and specop guys to train Ukrainian soldiers how to best use them: NY Post Wednesday (1/26): US Sends 300 Javelin Missiles To Ukraine In Latest Military Aid During Russia Standoff.
A Javelin is a single-operator shoulder-fired anti-tank missile which can eat for lunch the Russkie tanks Putin is threatening to roll into Ukraine. Thus Defense Minister of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov announced today (1/28): “Our number of anti-tanks weapons exceeds the number of potential targets” – i.e., Putin’s invasion will be stopped in its tracks.
And they’ll have Stinger missiles to take MiGs and Hind gunships out of the air as well. Pooty-poot doesn’t dare launch even a “minor incursion” now, risking a disastrously humiliating defeat. He well knows how so much of the Russian officer corps are drunkards, and well over half of his conscripted soldiers are Moslem with no love for Russia. He’s in no position whatever to take on a Ukraine so well-armed for Russian bear.
Which is why the Kyiv Post happily reported yesterday (1/27): US Formally Rebuffs Russia’s Request that Ukraine be Barred from NATO. And why, with Putin’s bullying backfiring, Ukrainians are today shrugging Putin’s threats, and are “more worried about gas prices than war.”
The caveat in all this is that of course Dementia Joe can screw this up big time at any time – but so far, at least this week, his handlers are not letting him. Putin has lost this episode – but surely there will be more to come.

In other words, Ukraine was the Big Dem Distraction of the Week. Next Big Dem Distraction is… drum roll, please, Heels Up for the High Court!
What else for the White House leak to the NY Times that Lib Justice Breyer would be retiring from the Court this October without his permission? You heard it first in HFR 11/19/21 over two months ago that Squatter’s handlers thought the solution to “The Harris Problem” would be to “kick her upstairs.”
And sure enough – NYPost Wednesday (1/26): Speculation Ramps Up That Harris Could Be Biden’s Supreme Court Pick.
Admittedly, she might be the best we could get. There’s zero possibility we could get a Xiden nominee remotely originalist, so why not a Joke Justice so unqualified and so dumb to have zero influence on the Court, just robotically vote with Kagan and Sotomayor?
The real question at this juncture is, will this be the tipping-point issue clinching Sinema and/or Manchin to switch parties?
It’s a sure bet the Woketard Left will demand a nominee way too unacceptable to one or both of them. They are totally fed up with the endless calumny, slanderous insults, and even death threats from fellow Democrats. Sinema was even formally censured by the Arizona Democrat Party on Saturday (1/22).
In a 50-50 Senate, one D to R switch gives the GOP a majority with control of all committees, hearings and schedules, Schumer is out, McConnell in as Majority Leader, and the entire Woke-Xiden agenda is a turtle on its back.
Pardon the pun with McConnell, but remember, it’s thanks to him alone that we don’t have Merrick Garland on the Court. By the way, Mike Ramirez knows what Garland is fantasizing now:
Meanwhile, just imagine how laughable a Justice Kneepads would be.
************
And after that, the Next Big Dem Distraction will be… well, who knows what they’ll dream up. What we do know is there will be an endless succession of them in their desperation to distract the electorate from disastrous Bidenflation, the illegal flood, cities drowning in crime, and the campaign to destroy our normal way of life.
Once you grasp that all of this is no accident, comrade, that the party in control of the White House, the Senate, the House, Blue State governorships, Soros-bought city district attorneys, and CRT-advocating school boards are all acting with malice aforethought with hatred for America – then at least you understand what is happening to our country.
And you understand what must happen to all of them: they all belong in a maximum-security federal penitentiary. Quite seriously, this is the single most necessary condition for getting our country back to normal sanity again.
A start was made by Newt Gingrich on Fox Sunday (1/23): January 6 Committee, AG Garland ‘Lynch Mob’ ‘Face a Real Risk of Jail for the Kind of Laws They Are Breaking’.
Here are the January 6 House Select Committee members. Gingrich is making the initial case they – from Adam Schiff to Liz Cheney, plus the Attorney general of the United States – belong in jail for the very real crimes they are committing.
The worst crime a politician can commit is treason. And this Tuesday (1/25), a definitive documentation of it was released: Peter Schweizer’s Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win.
This is the Must-Read book of the year. As a short-cut, Breitbart has run stories on four chapters this week.
“There is no question that Chinese government intelligence invested heavily in the Biden family while he was vice-president and continued while he was president,” Schweizer reveals.
This is scandal galactically larger than Watergate. It is real death-by-firing-squad treason, with all media/social media moguls who knew and covered it up accessories to treason. At the absolute minimum, China Zhou must resign his illegitimate presidency in disgrace.
That’s for openers. There’s so much more, on how the moguls of Silicon Valley, Wall Street, K Street and Foggy Bottom have all been bought off by the Chicoms. This is a Pulitzer Prize masterpiece. Little wonder that Peter Schweizer is the HFR Hero of the Week.

We’ll close with this observation: that the Dem narrative since the failure (thanks to Dems Sinema & Manchin) of their “Voting Rights” freedom-to-cheat bills is now: Elections are not legitimate if they can’t cheat to win.
For example, Xiden is refusing to say 2022 elections will be legitimate without his “Voting Rights” bills passed.
Or: Suddenly, It’s No Longer ‘Deeply Dangerous’ To Talk About Rigged Elections.
We have to face it squarely that the Democrat Party has fully embraced fascist evil – while we must fully embrace determination to rid our country of it. As “all politics is local”, start getting rid of it where you are. That, and have faith that America will triumph over evil in the end.
