Over the years Joe Biden has said a lot of nonsense. This though might top it all.

Biden Says Putin Has Chosen ‘Catastrophic’ War Over Diplomacy

Speaking from the Roosevelt Room in the White House, Mr. Biden said “we have reason to believe the Russian forces are planning to and intend to attack Ukraine in the coming week, in the coming days,” adding that “we believe that they will target Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, a city of 2.8 million innocent people.”

Asked whether he thinks that Mr. Putin is still wavering about whether to invade, Mr. Biden said, “I’m convinced he’s made the decision.” Later, he added that his impression of Mr. Putin’s intentions is based on “a significant intelligence capability.”

Already threatening war with Russia, the White House this month has unveiled a new imperial grand strategy for the Indo-Pacific that raises the prospects of war with China.

[I’m not sure how many Canadians visit the NDA but in the off-chance that you’re one of them, this letter is especially for you. But don’t forget that under the guise of the ‘Pandemic’, most of the ‘developed’ countries have passed and are using existing laws to create quasi-fascist states allegedly, in order to protect us. From ourselves? I’ve long said that the Virus is simply the pretext for invoking the last refuge of a capitalist – Fascism.

Friends, please consider sharing widely, & if Canadian sending the letter to your respective MP:

HAJJAH, YEMEN – Two parallel but very different meetings took place recently — one in search of peace, the other to plan more war. In Oman’s capital, Muscat, an official delegation headed by Ansar Allah, met with Omani and European officials to negotiate de-escalation and humanitarian assistance in Yemen. Meanwhile, the United States and the Saudi-led Coalition held meetings to plan a ground escalation in Sana’a and Hajjah province in Yemen’s southeast to coincide with airstrikes against residential neighborhoods in other cities throughout the north, which have killed and injured dozens of people and caused extensive damage to property and infrastructure.
