It's not only them who claim that, just research some history on the matter, and you'll find most if not all independent researchers agree on that. As for Levin, do you really want to put that much trust in him? Looks like he's for the US taking strict actions against Putin, and if you want me to believe the narrative that you believe that anyone opposed to Putin is a globalist conspirator, then it looks like Levin is one of them then-[marypatriotnews.com]

Be careful who you trust, especially communist Russian propaganda sources who are quick to malign anyone as a globalist shill who merely challenge Russian rhetoric. Too much is at stake in all of this, they will not silence me.

@SpikeTalon every source you have given me is globalist. Krunoslav gave plenty of populist sources. Putin has not been proven guilty. Alternative narratives cast reasonable dount. The US government is guilty as charged.

@jasonc65 Every source that Krunoslav has shared with me was blatant Russian Government propaganda. The Intel Crab could hardly be considered globalist, which is where most of my Russia/Ukraine info has come from. Putin hasn't been proven guilty yet because the war is still going on, but when it's over and all the documented war crime incidents come out Putin will have hell to pay. Every alternative theory I've come across so far are either easy to debunk or are flat out propaganda meant to sway opinions. No, the US Government hasn't been found any more guilty at this point than Russia has, and Russia has to continue lying to people in order to justify their actions in Ukraine.

@SpikeTalon Tucker Carlson is Russian propaganda? Really? The Pentagon is globalist. And I have a third party source from India called the Republic. India could not trust Putin as far as they can throw it, yet here they are preferring Putin over Biden and China and calling it as they see it. They have no reason to shill for Putin. I feel the same way.

The Hunter Biden laptop scandal is another matter, and yes I do believe that as there is more than enough evidence to prove that scandal is real.

No, "they" I think for the most part are Putin and Zelensky themselves pandering to their followers. I don't buy into the incursion of internationalists imposing on Russia theory, all one has to do is study Putin's past in order to realize his agenda is about resurrecting the glory days of the Soviet Union and destroy any of those who seek to get in his way. It's all about making himself/his country stronger, and based on Putin's vision and longterm agenda I could make a case he's part of the globalist cabal. Each country has their own problems, and the US border problem is largely due in fact that we have poor leaders who certainly aren't doing their jobs. The heart of that issue is not directly progressives being in favor of or against certain things (nationalism for example), but the Russia/Ukraine conflict boils down to a lesser evil fighting against a much greater and demented evil. Putin isn't resisting anything, he is part of the NWO. What are you talking about, Putin already invaded Ukraine which in most cases would be considered an act of war, and in the meantime his war machine has been and continues to slaughter innocent civilians. Need I remind you that at the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine there were virtually no Democrats that came out in support of Ukraine, and only finally did so after the meat puppet Biden came out in support of (he was forced to at that point due to alot of Republicans taking jabs at him), so the progressives now who are in support of Ukraine are mostly doing so because their puppet master told them they should be doing so.

Putin is a maniacal tyrant, have you not studied his past? How on multiple occasions he had his own people imprisoned or murdered for speaking out against him, his regime's brainwashing and censorship campaigns, not to mention what his war machine is now doing in Ukraine. Yeah he is freaking crazy, and he also possesses a sizable arsenal of nuclear warheads, and you think the globalist cabal is the only problem, oh really now? If putin's people turn on him finally, it will be because they got sick and tired of his tyranny and making terrible choices for their country while they all suffer. Putin is no savior of the sorts. Based on research I've done on the topic, I've strong reason to believe the people pulling the strings behind the curtain are the same ones who are attempting to scaremonger other people into thinking this conflict is about the NWO versus an outsider, and I strongly don't think that's what we are dealing with here. What we are dealing with is a world nuclear superpower (Russia) under the command of a tyrannical homicidal maniac who is hellbent on restoring his country to the perceived glory days of the former Soviet Union, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals and wipe out anyone who tries to get in his way. The Biden laptop scandal among many other scandals, while certainly important and in need of being met with justice, are largely serving as distractions while maniacal forces are plotting their next violent move. I am not the only person (kinda seems like it on this site though) who realizes that by the way, many other conservatives and libertarians see where the real danger lies and think it ridiculous for us to waste our time on the fruitless argument that Russia is some sort of world savior fighting against a NWO. Russia is the real threat, and the sooner more people realize that will be the sooner we can move forward and confront this problem and find a solution for it. I am only trying to help, some of what I have to say may be hard for some to hear and take, but they need to hear it anyway, and as Duke suggested keep an open mind and question both sides. Neither Ukraine or Russia can be trusted, but one is still lying more than the other and is far more violent and depraved than the other. If and when Putin finally sends the nukes flying (I hope it doesn't come to that), in that moment you and many others are going to realize that the enemy you should be concerned about was not the globalist cabal this time but rather a crooked and criminal world superpower who was all too eager to use their weapons of mass destruction on a rather unsuspecting world in order to advance their own agenda. Of course, at that point it may be too late by then, which is what concerns me and why I say what I've been saying. It's ironic how so many on this site love their conspiracy theories, but when someone poses their own theory(s) that may go against the grain of "recognized legit theories" they lash out in anger and resentment and gaslighting. I refuse to stay silent on the matter and just go along to get along, too much is potentially at stake.

@SpikeTalon Well, that was well presented.
Let me ask you this, you say Putin wishes to restore the glory days of the old Soviet Union, so is Putin a communist socialist or a national socialist or just a non-ideological maniacal dictator?
I can't argue that Putin is not what you say. His atrocities are well documented. On that point I can agree. He has no compunction about dealing with his real or perceived enemies in a manner that most people would find abhorrent. And I understand your concern about how far he could possibly go. If he did employ his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction it would be truly an evil act. You have concluded and are convinced he is capable of doing this and he remains the greatest threat to world peace. Totally understandable, from a factual historical review of his leadership, how one could arrive at that conclusion. After all if we are fair we judge a person by his actions not his words and some of Putin's actions are questionable to say the least.

Without getting too psychologically philosophical, let's just say that anyone would kill a tiger that is at his door and threatens him or his loved ones. A madman sees tigers everywhere. Part of why socialism doesn't work but that's for another discussion.

Is Putin the one that is eroding western European democratic republics? It seems all of the nations built upon western hegemony are self-destructing. Does that seem fair to say? Putin isn't encouraging "wokeness" or imposing diversity, inclusion and equity in western society. He isn't asking western nations to open their borders. It isn't just a thing happening in the US. It is prevalent in all western nations to their apparent detriment. Is there a tiger at the door? Is it Putin?

I see a certain madness in western leaders these days. Unable to be truthful or transparent to their citizens. Now it seems they see tigers everywhere. Their own citizens are a threat to their existence. They must protect themselves. Jail those with opposing views. Bankrupt them. Seize their bank accounts. Cancel them. Invent crimes and indict them. Has Putin driven them mad?

You are entitled to your view. And Putin may be the threat you portray. There is a big tiger at his door and he may lash out. But, in my view, he is not the tiger threatening the current global order of things.
We have some reflecting to do on why we have arrived at this juncture.

@FrankZeleniuk How about just a delusional psychopath? Who wants to rule Russia with an iron fist.

I think all of the major developed countries in the world are gradually eroding, which mostly comes down to leadership issues. I suppose Putin isn't directly pushing wokeism on his fellow Russians... he's doing something far more insidious than that even. No citizen is allowed to openly question his authority or the motives of the Russian Government, not without facing serious consequences for doing so anyways. Wokeism is certainly no fun here in the US, but geez at least I'm not faced with lengthy prison sentences (or a possible death sentence) for merely criticizing my Government or the President. If given the choice between living in a free but rather woke society or a tyrannical semi-communist society, I'll go with the former because at least I'd still have most of my individual liberties intact, and could organize rally groups in an effort to resist the woke factions. It's no quality of life living under a cruel tyrant like Putin.

I get what you're trying to convey there, but Putin is in the same boat as the rest of the world leaders, they are all bad news in my opinion. Putin is no exception to the perceived madness, except I don't see guys like Biden and Trudeau violently invading other countries in an effort to absorb them into their own culture, nor are they making threats to use chemical or nuclear weapons if they don't get their way. Presently only one guy has made such threats directly, and that be Putin. Everything that you had mentioned from the seizing of bank accounts to imprisonment to inventing crimes in order to persecute those who don't agree with you, is pretty much everything that Putin has already done, and then some. Guys like Biden and Trudeau are too cowardly to have perceived opposition simply killed off, I can't say the same for Putin though on that, and that makes him far more dangerous.

Please keep in mind that in the beginning of the Ukraine invasion I was in the same boat as you and found myself agreeing more with Russia's side, but the evidence I have seen since from both sides all point to the Russian Government being the bigger liar and manipulator. The global order of things?? How about global peace and good relations among countries? Wouldn't you say that first in order to establish a smooth running of things that peace is an important factor? The west and Ukraine aren't the ones threatening that peace. I also contend that Putin himself fits in to the NWO of things, but that's a whole other topic perhaps for another post sometime. Reflecting indeed, especially when knowing both sides lie. With that said, can't help to see the irony in some of your statements above, in one paragraph you agree that Putin has and continues to do horrible things to others while in a later paragraph you attempted to somehow frame him as a victim in all of that, and it can't be both. My instincts keep telling me that someone (not quite sure yet who all exactly) stands to somehow profit in a way off of all of this globalist NWO scaremongering, and the people that are buying into all of said scaremongering are being played for fools. I could very well be wrong about that, and hope I am, the alternative (what I presently think will eventually happen) is too scary to imagine ever becoming reality, but I am preparing for the worst.

Lastly, thank you for explaining your points minus the gaslighting, unlike some others on here who had commented on related posts, that is appreciated.

@SpikeTalon Well, interesting discussion. In conclusion, I suppose the only thing that really matters is the populace remains in a state of terror - Just as long as it is never revealed factually who is sustaining the fear.
Take your pick of the many bogeymen presented. The message to the masses these days is, "Be afraid! Be very afraid!" As JP, the satirist says go along to get along, just wear a button that says, "I support the current thing".
