Thousands are dying from Russian missiles and bombs in the suburbs of Ukraine.

In response, the Biden Administration’s climate-change envoy, multimillionaire and private-jet owning John Kerry, laments that Russian president Vladimir Putin might no longer remain his partner in reducing global warming.

“You’re going to lose people’s focus,” Kerry frets. “You’re going to lose big-country attention because they will be diverted, and I think it could have a damaging impact”

“Impact”?

Did the global moralist Kerry mean by “impact” the over 650 Russian missiles that impacted Ukrainian buildings and tore apart children?

For more than 40 years, the environmentalist movement has been warning that global warming is the result of mankind’s burning of fossil fuels and poses an “existential threat” to human and other biological life.

This is one of the many grandiose lies the Left uses to reshape, if not destroy, Western civilization. It should now be obvious that the “Greens,” the environmentalist movement—not global warming—poses an existential threat to humanity.

Were it not for the green movement, Putin would not have been confident that he could get away with invading Ukraine.  Main reason? During Trump’s presidency, and due to his policies, the United States became independent of foreign oil for the first time.

Immediately, starting within minutes of Biden’s inauguration by his killing the Keystone Pipeline, the Democrat Party, an extension of the environmentalist movement, forced America to revert to dependence on foreign oil, including Russian oil.  Putin got the message.

The Democrats are well aware of the old adage, “Never let a good crisis go to waste,” and are busy applying it as gas prices spiral out of all control.

On Monday (3/07), Transportation Secretary Pete “Mr. Mom” Buttigieg appeared to be fantastically out of touch when he responded to skyrocketing prices at the pump.

“Clean transportation can bring significant cost savings for the American people as well,” asserted Buttigieg. “Last month, we announced a $5 billion investment to build out a nationwide electric vehicle charging network so that people from rural to suburban to urban communities can all benefit from the gas savings of driving an EV.”

It was a real “Let Them Eat Cake” moment for Secretary Pete, but there is a method to his madness: the administration isn’t just out of touch, it is actively trying to use this crisis to impose its green agenda.

Against all the odds, Ukraine has won this war militarily. It has won because it has fought bravely and skillfully and now there is nothing Russia can do to change the political and social structure of the country.

Putin has lost big time and all he does now will create more damage against his own country than he can deliver against Ukraine. But it is unclear if he realizes or even cares about the mess Russia is in.

The destruction and murder of civilians goes on day and night, in Kharkiv and other cities, because like a petulant ex-lover, Putin wants to destroy Ukraine. It is an “if I cannot have her no-one will attitude.”  But he has been jilted – it is over for him.

Many observers are questioning the mental health of Vladimir Putin these days, and for very good reason. After all, what kind of leader engages in such brute activity toward the people of a neighboring country who have done nothing to earn his savage rage?

Yes, what sort of man?

It is high time that I publicly share a story about Putin that I’ve shared with my students for several years now, since it was first told to me. I’m publishing it here for the first time. He is Mad Dog Putin indeed.

The most stirring and powerful address was by Ursula van der Leyen,MD, President of the European Commission, the governing body of the European Union. Above is the video of her talk, below the full text.  Please consider watching and reading it entire.]

Russia thought it would roll over Ukraine, but the West’s Financial Blitzkrieg now threatens to trigger the unravelling of Putin’s autocracy. Excellent!

This is new and exciting… We’ve invented a whole new way to wage war! And it might even work.

It only took a day – but what we’ve already learnt about Financial Blitzkrieg is you can’t have half-measures. The West surprised everyone – especially ourselves – with the scale of the weekend financial assault on Russia.

Now Europe and the West should go much further.
