Putin Must Be Treated As A War Criminal

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Russia’s Vladimir Putin is a brutal killer, whose life consists of an unbroken thread of deaths and other atrocities.[2]  He has killed and killed again.  As I wrote in December of 2015:

After World War II, he came to prominence as a KGB operative in East Germany—or the DDR, as it was known before the collapse of Erich Honecker’s government—which was one of the most repressive regimes in the Soviet Union’s orbit, or the Evil Empire.  Following the USSR’s implosion, Putin and his thugs and cronies hijacked Russia’s incipient democracy, and have been exploiting it ever since.

Despite being a “public servant” all of his life, Putin has amassed a fortune estimated to be $70 billion; “Versailles” has been built for him already; and his cronies have amassed billions of dollars too, and are living like kings outside of Russia.  The Russian people need to recover what Putin and his cronies have stolen from them, and then terminate all of them—like the last Czar and his family, and Italy’s Benito Mussolini. Nothing less will suffice.

The world must never forget that Putin left the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing to launch his aggression against Georgia.  Then, he left the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and launched his aggression against Crimea and the rest of Ukraine.  Also, the world must never forget that in addition to downing Malaysia Airlines Flight 17—and killing all 283 passengers and 15 crew on board—Putin killed Alexander Litvinenko and countless others.[3]

Today, his personal fortune is estimated to be $200 billion.

Assuming that he does not commit suicide like Adolf Hitler did, or he is not assassinated, he must be tried as a war criminal like the Nazis were in the Nuremberg trials.[4]  However, between now and then, the world may experience brutality not seen since the dark days of World War II, with even more dangerous weapons and attacks being employed, such as cyberattacks and EMP attacks—in addition to nuclear weapons.[5]

If Putin is tried as a war criminal, he would join an illustrious list that includes Japanese Prime Ministers and Generals Hideki Tōjō and Kuniaki Koiso in the aftermath of World War II; Hermann Göring, Commander in Chief of Nazi Germany’s Luftwaffe; and Adolf Eichmann of Hitler’s SS.[6]

It must be repeated that our grudge is not with the Russian people.  They are victims of Putin’s monstrous crimes; and many are standing tall—at the risk of being imprisoned or killed—and opposing Russia’s Hitler.[7]

Lastly, such actions on the part of the United States and our allies may inure to the benefit of our friends on Taiwan.  They may cause China’s Xi Jinping to pause and think twice before embarking on ruinous actions against the island nation, or other global atrocities—and becoming more of a global pariah than China is already, having launched the deadly Coronavirus pandemic.[8]

Sever The Head Of A Snake, And It Dies

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1][2]

Russia is a pygmy state, run by the psychopathic megalomaniac KGB-trained killer Vladimir Putin[3], who is hated globally.  Its economy is about the size of Texas, and less than that of Canada and a host of other countries.[4]

The Soviet Union, or USSR, collapsed from within.  It is gone now, without a shot being fired.  Putinism will die with Putin, and suffer an ignominious death.  Russia may implode too.  It spans nine time zones and includes 160 ethnic groups that speak an estimated 100 languages.  It is by no means monolithic, and may crumble “overnight.”

Putin needs to be decapitated, snuffed out, vaporized, or hung like Italy’s Benito Mussolini.  At the very least, he must be tried as a war criminal, in a Nuremberg-like trial, and treated as Hitler’s Nazis were.  With no mercy shown.[5]

Having slaughtered brave Ukrainians, Putin’s Russian forces may suffer massive executions by the Ukrainians who outnumber the Russian invaders.  No prisoners should be taken.  Indeed, Russians may rue the day that they supported and acted on behalf of the murderous Putin.

Lastly, our grudge is not with the Russian people.  They are victims of Putin’s monstrous crimes; and many are standing tall—at the risk of being imprisoned or killed—and opposing Russia’s Hitler.[6]

Russia’s KGB-Trained Killer Putin May Be More Dangerous Than Hitler Or Stalin

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

At first glance, the title of this article may seem absurd.  After all, Hitler and his Nazi thugs killed millions in the Holocaust, and during World War II.  And Joseph Stalin killed millions more, and is responsible for the greatest mass raping of women in history.[2]  What makes Putin different?

The answer is simple: he learned from what Hitler and Stalin did; and he seems determined not to make the same mistakes.  After all, his formative years were spent in the DDR, or East Germany, after Hitler’s Third Reich was crushed.  And he assumed power in Russia after the Soviet Union collapsed.[3]

He is pure evil, personified; and when he dies, Putinism dies with him.  Until that day, he will make his mark on world history.  Right now, he is playing with Joe Biden like a cat toys with a mouse.  At any time, the cat knows that the mouse can be consumed.

The sanctions that Biden and the West have levied against Russia are laughable, at the very least.  Does Biden know that Putin has enough “dirt” on his son Hunter and him so that Biden is incapacitated and will never act effectively?  Or is he so impaired both mentally and morally that all meaningful and strategically effective actions are off the table?[4]

After all, this is the father who watched Hunter leave his wife for his dead brother’s widow, and then drop her for a stripper whom he impregnated.  And Hunter denied his paternity until the woman proved it with DNA testing.  When the widow sought advice from Joe, he reportedly told her to get “mental health counseling.”[5]

Why is this relevant?  Because Biden is ostensibly the “Leader of the Free World” today; and if he cannot or will not take meaningful actions against Putin, this tells Xi Jinping all that he needs to know about Taiwan and China’s other ambitions globally.  Also, it sends a message loud and clear to both our friends and enemies that his humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan was not an aberration.[6]

Would Putin use nuclear weapons or other nation-ending weaponry against us?  In a nanosecond, if it was needed to save his life; namely, he was “cornered” and felt it was necessary for him to survive.  China would too, without any hesitations.  After all, in a real sense, Putin is fighting a proxy war against us for his “senior partner” China.  And China launched the deadly Coronavirus pandemic globally; it has used tactical EMP weapons already to “fry” Indian soldiers in its border war with that country; and it has enslaved approximately 1 million ethnic minorities including the Uyghurs.[7]

We are approaching very dangerous times ahead, perhaps unlike any that the United States has faced during our lifetimes.  And we have Joe Biden and Kamala Harris at the highest echelon of American decision making.  It is scary for those of us who love our country, and who have lived through other brutal wars.  Will America exist when the Biden-Harris presidency has run its course?  Time will tell.

If Anyone Doubts That America Is On The Verge Of A Two-Front War, They May Be Naive

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Some of us have lived through multiple wars, beginning with World War II—albeit we were babies or little kids then—followed by the Korean War, Vietnam, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and miscellaneous conflicts globally.  Some of us served in the American military at the Pentagon, and worked on Capitol Hill; and we have accumulated some experience with respect to how Washington and other global power centers function.[2]  Some have even followed Vladimir Putin’s rise to power as a young KGB officer in the DDR, or East Germany, which was one of the most repressive regimes in the former Soviet Union’s orbit.[3]

Putin was trained as a killer; and if he has any obsessions, they are to stay alive and stay in power.  And if he is beholden to anyone, it is to Xi Jinping and China’s other “masters,” whose goal is global domination by the end of this decade.  When Putin dies, Putinism is likely to die with him.  Between now and then, he will wield Russia’s military and strategic power like a “chess master.”  In a sense, he is acting as China’s surrogate by moving against Ukraine, while its leaders sit back and gauge American responses before they move on Taiwan and elsewhere globally.

In another sense, Putin is to China’s authoritarian leadership what Italy’s Benito Mussolini was to Adolf Hitler: playing “second fiddle” to someone who came very close to conquering much of the world.  Yes, Mussolini was a buffoon in many ways, and he and his mistress were hanged by the Italian people, but many died because of him.  Putin is not Mussolini; and his rise to power has been calculated and brilliant.  But on some level, he realizes that his time will pass, and that China is his future.

Both Putin and China’s leaders believe that Joe Biden is “mentally-challenged”—to be kind—and that Kamala Harris is even worse, and standing in the wings waiting for Biden to “croak.”[4]  In a sense, now is the opportune time to move on Ukraine, Taiwan and elsewhere, while incompetents run the United States.  Will this window of opportunity close if the Democrats suffer staggering election defeats in November?  Perhaps, but China’s goals are long term, while Putin’s perspective is much shorter.

America’s crushing defeat and humiliation in Afghanistan sent critical signals to our allies and adversaries globally that the Biden-Harris presidency was pathetically weak, if not doomed.  In Europe, our NATO allies were stunned; and the same has been true of our other alliances around the world.  If they could not trust the United States anymore, why risk confrontations with our enemies, especially China and Russia.[5]  And by hosting the Winter Olympics, China’s leadership “bought time” to see how Putin and the United States would respond to a “manufactured crisis” in Ukraine.  This too was brilliant.

If America would not go to war to “save” Ukraine, why would it go to war to save Taiwan from China’s grasp?  Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine’s President, has warned Kamala Harris that economic sanctions must be imposed against Russia before any invasion begins, but reportedly he was rebuffed.  Vitali Klitschko, a former professional boxer who is the Mayor of Kyiv—Ukraine’s largest city—may become a target of Putin for having railed against Russia’s aggression.[6]  After all, Ukraine’s former President Viktor Yushchenko was subjected to dioxin poisoning and disfigurement at the behest of Putin’s operatives.[7]

And no one should forget that Putin left the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing to launch his aggression against Georgia.  Then, he left the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and launched his aggression against Crimea and the rest of Ukraine.  Also, the world must never forget that in addition to downing Malaysia Airlines Flight 17—and killing all 283 passengers and 15 crew on board—Putin killed Alexander Litvinenko and countless others.[8]

Russia spans nine time zones and includes 160 ethnic groups that speak an estimated 100 languages.  It is by no means monolithic, and may crumble “overnight.”  Once Putin is gone, Russia may be dismembered—never to rise again—with China taking part (e.g., Siberia, which it covets) and the rest becoming independent states like the former Yugoslavia.  Between now and then, many may die because of Putin, unless he is terminated.

The Tragedy Of Joe Biden Is Clear For All To See

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

It is sad to watch Joe Biden speak.  After at least two brain operations, he fumbles along and has difficulty stringing two sentences together, as well as articulating a complete and coherent thought.[2]  He is not the man that I first encountered in the hearing room of the Senate Banking Committee in Washington, D.C.  He was a newly-minted U.S. Senator in the month that followed the death of his  first wife Neilia and their one-year-old daughter Naomi, who were killed in a tragic automobile accident while Christmas shopping in Delaware.[3]

Fast forward, and he is America’s President today, albeit having lost Afghanistan to the Taliban (and ISIS), leaving behind Americans and those who had helped us[4].  He is in the process of repeating that debacle in Ukraine.  Long ago, Russia’s KGB-trained killer Vladimir Putin sized up Biden correctly, and is in the process of walking all over him—and the United States, and the American people.  To Putin, Biden must represent “a gift from the gods,” and a buffoon, imbecile and pathetic loser.

Previously, I wrote the following about Biden and the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen’s magnificent work:

In the fable “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” two make-believe weavers purport to spin a fine suit of clothes for the emperor, which is made of beautiful material that possesses the wonderful quality of being invisible to any man who is unfit for his office or unpardonably stupid.  The potentate and his subjects acknowledge that the garments are very fine indeed.  That is, until one little child sees the emperor marching in a procession, and says at last: “But he has nothing on at all”—and the grand swindle is exposed for all to see.[5]

And I added:

Perhaps before the 2020 presidential campaign has run its course, one little child will express the belief that Joe Biden is “brain dead,” or certainly very close to it.  Lots of Democrats know this already, but are  too afraid (or ashamed) to acknowledge it publicly.[6]

I love my country deeply, and empathize with each and every American who has suffered in any way from China’s Coronavirus pandemic and the lockdowns.  It is as though that country’s leadership including Xi Jinping set about trying to destroy the United States, and dominate the world.  Each move is calculated; and Putin’s conquest of Ukraine is merely part of the plan to weaken and/or destroy us.[7]

Ever fearful of losing the Congressional elections in November, the Democrats are marshaling every means at their disposal to crucify Donald Trump, and shift the focus away from Biden’s staggering failures and colossal, mind-boggling ineptitude.  Lots of us began as Democrats but will never vote for one again.  More and more Americans feel this way; and the Democrats cannot camouflage the defeats in Afghanistan and Ukraine. The blood is on their hands, for the world to see.

Yes, Putin is a killer and pure evil[8], but the Democrats are evil too, which cannot be disguised or papered over[9].  Throw in Hunter Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and others of their ilk; and one has difficulty distinguishing between them.  Each of them kills, albeit some are more subtle than the others.

If the world could have stopped Hitler in his tracks, and prevented the Holocaust and so many other monumental human tragedies, would it have hesitated?  Knowing what we know today, is there any reason to hesitate now with respect to Putin? The question seems essentially rhetorical, because the answer is abundantly clear. Putin must be terminated; and there is no time to spare.

Lastly, are there any “half-way” measures that might work, such as cutting off Russia’s access to the SWIFT payments system, which would crush or cripple that country’s economy?  Biden seems too weak and pathetic to use such tools, perhaps because Putin has “dirt” on Biden and his son Hunter, which if disclosed might destroy them.

Could The United States Fight And Win World War II Again?

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Can Americans fight and win a “two-front war” today against China’s Xi Jinping, Russia’s KGB-trained killer Vladimir Putin, and our other enemies globally who are bent on the destruction of the United States as a nation?  In World War II, we fought a multiple-front war against Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in Europe and the Middle East, and against Imperial Japan in the Pacific.  The United States and our allies won, and obtained the unconditional surrender of their axis of evil.

Since then, other wars have been fought and arguably “lost” by the United States.  The Korean War ended in a stalemate, with that country being divided as it is now.  The Vietnam War was “won” by the United States militarily, but lost by its politicians in Washington, D.C., who gave it to the North Vietnamese.  After seizing Kuwait, Iraq was invaded by the United States in “Operation Desert Storm,” during George H.W. Bush’s presidency.  Then, after we were attacked on 9/11, his son embarked on senseless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

In Iraq alone, more than 5,000 Americans died and many more were maimed, and trillions of dollars were wasted, for nothing.  President Joe Biden just withdrew from Afghanistan, leaving Americans behind, as well as those who had helped us.  This humiliating defeat has encouraged both Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping to threaten Ukraine, Taiwan and elsewhere.[2]

Are we on the cusp of World War III, a multiple-front war that might be devastating for our future?  A chilling thought, especially at a time when our nation seems divided like at no other time since our Civil War.  And if we are attacked militarily, would we have time to build up our forces and war production like we did after Pearl Harbor was attacked?

So many mothers are balking about being forced to have their kids vaccinated to potentially ward off China’s deadly Coronavirus and its mutations.  How would they react if their daughters and sons were drafted into the military?  And would any Americans feel comfortable being led by Joe Biden—whose mental powers are suspect, at the very least—Kamala Harris[3] and a “woke” military hierarchy?  Also, check your laptops and other devices that you depend on, and note that most are made in China or contain essential components from China.

Realize too that our nation’s military command and control center in Colorado’s Cheyenne Mountain was quietly “updated” in recent years, inter alia, to respond to a nation-ending EMP attack that would shut down America almost overnight, and might be much more devastating than a nuclear attack.[4]  And what about our satellites, which circle the globe and provide us with essential communications technology that we take for granted?

Yes, Putism will not outlive Putin.[5]  But his voyeurism to maintain control of Russia while he is alive may have dangerous repercussions for us.  And China’s Mao Tse-tung was directly responsible for an estimated 30-40 million deaths between 1958 and 1960, as a result of what Mao’s regime hailed as the “Great Leap Forward.”[6]  Today, is China’s leadership prepared to lose millions of its own citizens to achieve global domination?  After all, it has used tactical EMP weapons to “fry” Indian soldiers in its border war with that country; and it has imprisoned approximately 1 million ethnic minorities including the Uyghurs.

If World War III begins, will it follow a trajectory similar to World War I, where a single spark or miscalculation might ignite it?  Will the chain of events move so rapidly that we are quickly overwhelmed?  After all, Americans and our allies have been weakened already—physically, mentally, morally and economically—by China’s Coronavirus and related factors.[7][8]  Or will God protect us, at a time when many Americans have turned their backs on God?[9]

[8]  Pat Buchanan—an adviser to Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford, and a former GOP presidential aspirant himself—has written in an article entitled “Stress Test for a Fading Superpower”:

[A]s we went crusading for a new world order, Vladimir Putin’s Russia gradually recovered from its crushing Cold War defeat, and China began to move out of America’s shadow to become the most powerful rival modern America had ever faced.

. . .

After President Joe Biden’s humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan, Ukraine is the site of the latest challenge, triggered by Russia’s deployment of some 100,000 troops on Ukraine’s borders.

. . .

If we would not fight Russia on behalf of Ukraine, why would we go to war with China to defend the independence of Taiwan, when, 50 years ago this month, President Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger declared Taiwan to be “a part of China”?

. . .

North Korea has become a full-fledged nuclear power with intercontinental ballistic missiles that can hit the USA. Russia’s armed forces are more imposing than they were two decades ago. China has swept past every rival power to the United States, while America’s allies are less powerful and less united behind it.

Meanwhile, America has run up a national debt larger than the entire U.S. economy. Its trade deficits are at record levels. Its borders are being overrun by migrants from all over the world. And its disposition to intervene, engage and fight for democracy has rarely been lower.

The global stress test of the last superpower is on, and it is not likely we will pass it with a grade as high as the one we had earned by the Cold War’s end.

When A Publishing Company Masquerades As A Christian Church, Its Fraud Must Be Exposed And It Must Be Boycotted

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Christianity is the largest religion in the world[2], but it is under attack, perhaps like never before.  At a time in human history when so many Americans and others are dying and suffering globally, hope is needed more than ever, each and every day.

Churches and other places of worship have been closed by the Coronavirus pandemic lockdowns.  And just when some modicum of normality seemed to be returning, the Omicron variant or mutation emerged, with other mutations being possible in the future.[3]

Fully-vaccinated individuals are dying from the virus’ effects.  Healthcare facilities are overwhelmed, as workers call in sick, while others take early retirements.  And routine operations are being canceled.[4]

As if this were not enough, inflation is rampant and adding to the ranks of homelessness[5]; devastating wars are possible[6]; and depression and other mental challenges seem overwhelming.  If there was ever a time to seek God or one’s Higher Power, now is it.[7]

Yet, one American publishing company is masquerading as a Christian Church, which is fraudulent and an abomination unto itself.  Instead, of helping Americans and others, Unity[8] portrays itself on Facebook as a “Nondenominational Church,” when in fact it is nothing more than a for-profit business entity.

Almost 100 years ago, my family began reading Unity’s Daily Word and its uplifting, inspiring messages. For years, I gave subscriptions to others.  Today, Unity publishes a vast array of products, for which it charges money, which is understandable.  But its Daily Word lessons or messages can be offered online for free each day, so those in need of healing or inspiration can find it.

Outright fraud occurs when Unity continues to masquerade as a Christian Church, instead of sharing the Truth that it is nothing more than another greedy capitalist enterprise, which is debasing the teachings of Jesus, and whose linkages to Jesus were presumably lost a long time ago.  To hide the Truth, it censors or deletes the comments of even its subscribers.[9]

[9]  Never did the author contemplate that this article would be necessary.  But Unity was put on notice that it was not serving the poorest among us and those most in need, and it failed to act.  Moreover, it deleted the thoughtful comments of a female subscriber who complained, which was unconscionable.  Hence, it seems inescapable—and tragic—that Unity is run by heathens today who run roughshod over those who find their practices abhorrent.

Lastly, in no way does the author hold himself out as some paragon of virtue, or as a religious zealot.  However, he believes that most Daily Word messages or lessons have value, especially for those who are most in need; and that they should be offered for free online, on a daily basis.  Those who wish to subscribe to Unity’s many written publications are free to do so.
