Report: Biden Admin Gave China Intel On Russia, Beijing Gave it to Moscow:

A stunning report in The New York Times on Friday claims that the Biden administration essentially showed all of its cards to China regarding Russia’s troop buildup and activity prior to the invasion of Ukraine, ostensibly in an attempt to get Beijing to convince Moscow not to go in.

“Over three months, senior Biden administration officials held half a dozen urgent meetings with top Chinese officials in which the Americans presented intelligence showing Russia’s troop buildup around Ukraine and beseeched the Chinese to tell Russia not to invade,” The Times reported.

“Each time, the Chinese officials, including the foreign minister and the ambassador to the United States, rebuffed the Americans, saying they did not think an invasion was in the works. After one diplomatic exchange in December, U.S. officials got intelligence showing Beijing had shared the information with Moscow, telling the Russians that the United States was trying to sow discord — and that China would not try to impede Russian plans and actions,” the paper continued.

Russian forces on Tuesday damaged Babi Yar, one of Europe’s most prominent Holocaust memorials, amid a brutal onslaught of Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital. The damage by Putin quickly drew international condemnation:

As of this writing, we don’t know if Putin is a type of Gog and Magog, or perhaps the real thing, only time will reveal that. But either way, his decision to bomb the Babi Yar Memorial, just days after announcing Russia no longer recognizes Jewish sovereignty over the Golan Heights and Jerusalem, leaps right off the pages of your King James Bible. Remember, it involves Bible prophecy when it involves the Jews and Israel, and we have seen repeated shots by Putin over the course of the past 7 days proving that very thing. History seems to be repeating itself in any event.

The White House on Tuesday afternoon said President Joe Biden spoke with Zelenskyy about “Russia’s escalation of attacks on sites used by civilians in Ukraine, including today’s bombing near Babyn Yar Holocaust memorial.”

Babi Yar is the site of one of the worst mass killings during the Nazi occupation of Ukraine. In September 1941, Nazi forces killed more than 33,000 Jewish people — Kyiv’s Jewish population at the time — in one of the worst mass murders during the Holocaust and World War II.

The site of the killings in Kyiv is now a memorial to the victims and an international monument against such violence. The complex also holds memorials to others murdered by the Nazis, including Roma and Ukrainian resisters. Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine would lead to the “denazification” of the country and end a made-up “genocide” of Russian-speaking Ukrainians, which is not occurring, in the country’s east. Zelenskyy, Ukraine’s president, is both a native Russian speaker from Ukraine’s east and Jewish.

Holocaust remembrance groups around the world strongly condemned the damaging of the site.  The U.S. Holocaust Museum wrote it is "outraged at the damage inflicted on the Babyn Yar memorial by Russia’s attack today," calling the site "sacred ground" in a tweet.

"We condemn the attack on the Jewish cemetery near the memorial site commemorating the Holocaust of the Jews of Kyiv and the murder of the Jewish people in Babi Yar. We call for preserving and respecting the sanctity of the site," according to a translation of a tweet by Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid that did not mention Russia by name.

Europe's largest nuclear power plant on fire after Russian attack says local mayor:

BORODYANKA/LVIV, Ukraine, March 4 (Reuters) - The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, the largest of its kind in Europe, was on fire early on Friday after an attack by Russian troops, the mayor of the nearby town of Energodar said.

I recommend these two articles to make a little sense of what is really going on.

Lew Rockwell is a quite good source of information.

Thank you, Arthur, for the back story.  Now I understand a little of why Putin keeps talking about Nazis.
