Joe Biden: a modern-day Koschei the Immortal

With origins that go back eons, fairy tales offer timeless lessons on truth and morality. Today, both Russia and Ukraine face a villain in Washington DC who is right out of Slavic folklore.

Not since Adolph Hitler and Nazi Germany has one man brought so much suffering, death and destruction upon the Slavs of Eastern Europe.

That man is Joe Biden. If he wanted, he could use his immense power to bring peace to Ukraine, but instead, his policies cause more destruction. Biden’s Neo-liberal crusade has brought the world to the edge of nuclear war. We are on the brink. There’s no room for error; one more mistake and it’s all over.

Biden’s foreign policy worsens international relations, antagonizing both partners and foes, plunging the world into poverty and economic chaos. In just 18 months, Biden has caused more international crises than we’ve seen in the entire past two decades combined. He fosters strife and discord; not peace and understanding.

Biden doesn’t care about Ukraine. We can entirely dismiss his words about protecting “freedom and democracy” in Ukraine. In fact, the American establishment has long had a disdain for Slavs — Poles, Serbs, Ukrainians, and Russians. Perhaps only the Czechs are somewhat respected.

General Jack Keane (retired) recently told the media that U.S. aid to Ukraine is a great “investment” because “Ukraine is doing the fighting against Russia”. Hey Ukrainians! You hear that? Uncle Sam considers the deaths and maiming of hundreds of thousands of your men as an “investment”. Are you fine with that?

Of course, Biden tries to pin the blame on Putin. But let’s look at the facts. Biden pumps Ukraine, which is 4,500 miles from the U.S. border, full of weapons to fight Russia. And now, Biden’s ultra-nationalist Ukrainian army is bombing inside Russia and massacring Russians.

Please stop and think about that. Imagine if Moscow was financing and arming Mexicans to attack the U.S. in order to reclaim lands, such as Texas, which we took in the 1840s. We all know how swift would be retribution from Washington DC.

Biden knows that Ukraine can’t defeat Russia and that further fighting will only lead to more destruction and death for both sides. But instead of using America’s power to reach a peace agreement, at least a ceasefire, Biden stokes the fires of war.

And No, I don’t blame Putin. He’s reacting to NATO expansion to Russia’s borders. For 8 years, Moscow tried to negotiate with the West, and offered reasonable terms for Ukrainian neutrality and protection of ethnic minorities from Kiev’s far-right death squads. (When Trump was in the White House, the pro-war gang in the State Department and Senate retained control of policy towards Ukraine).

Let’s remember — the Ukrainian conflict began in 2014 when Biden was Obama’s vice-president. He played a key role in inciting a violent insurrection in Kiev to overthrow the elected president (who was from Donbas).

Immediately a pro-U.S. regime was installed in Kiev. Within a few weeks it unleashed brutal ethnic cleansing against separatist (Russian-speaking) Ukrainian citizens in the Donbas. Those eastern regions, including Crimea, naturally appealed to Moscow for help and protection. In essence, this is a civil war between western Ukraine and the country’s eastern regions that recently voted to join Russia.

I’ve been visiting and working with Ukraine, on and off, since 1991. Ukrainians were always a pleasant and peaceful people, and most saw their country as one civilization, one family with Russia, and that preserving the relationship was vital for their national interests. Indeed, many Ukrainians have close relatives in Russia.

However, throughout 2013 to 2020, Washington’s militarism and plans to expand NATO eastward were accompanied by a campaign of far-right nationalistic disinformation that poisoned the minds of many Ukrainians. A spirit of hatred, racism and a desire for revenge for perceived historical grievances began to take hold.

Even in 2018-19, I was stunned how educated Ukrainian friends became raving ultra-nationalists filled with hatred for Russia. Now, any person who is sane and intelligent knows that you have to get along with your neighbors; like it or not. It’s in your interest to do so. But sinister forces in Washington are very good at poisoning minds and turning people against each other.

Unfortunately, the war has unleashed a torrent of hatred. Each side accuses the other of atrocities. Deaths mount on both sides, and each rains down fire on the other’s cities. Talk of peace is now forgotten. This downward spiral of animosity threatens to tear all of Europe apart; not to mention lead to nuclear war.

Like many, I used to think of Biden as a senile fool, a puppet controlled by oligarchs in Washington and New York. But now I believe that while he suffers from age-related impairment, his embrace of evil is genuine.

For years, Biden’s family has profited from corrupt deals with Ukrainian oligarchs. Joe even recently boasted that “no one fucks with a Biden”. That’s gangster talk. That’s what the head of an organized crime family says. Biden should not be let off the hook as a feeble old fool. He’s an evil mastermind.

So, who is Koschei the Immortal?

Koschei is the arch villain in Slavic fairy tales that many Russians and Ukrainians grew up on. He’s a bony, vicious old man with supernatural powers. He’s like a living corpse and his bones clatter. Basically, Koschei is the living dead. (Koschei derives from the Russian word kost’ - bone).

(Koschei in a 1945 Soviet film)

Koschei can fly, uses dark magic, and preys on lovely young women. With his deception and wicked spells, Koschei lures his victims into captivity, sometimes promising them vast amounts of gold.

Indeed, the conflict in Ukraine has all the elements of an epic tale of Good vs. Evil. We can substitute “Koschei” with “Biden”; substitute “gold” with “billions in western aid”; and substitute “beautiful girl” with “Ukraine”. (The only difference is that Koschei doesn’t sniff his victims like Joe does.)

So, can the modern-day Koschei be defeated? Can Ukraine be saved from his evil plan? If you’re an American and truly want to Stand With Ukraine, then know that the real fight is taking place in Washington. We Americans have a responsibility to the people of Ukraine and Russia to defeat the living corpse in the White House.

Russia and Ukraine are bound by 1,200 years of a common history, culture and religion. Geography dictates that the two countries will always be neighbors and must learn to live with each other. The planet’s fate depends on it.

In Ukraine, we’re witnessing an epic battle of Good vs. Evil. And Good must triumph. Peace must triumph. No one can remain indifferent. So, make your decision. Are you for Peace, or for Koschei’s war? For Life, or for Koschei’s death cult?

Choose your side. Choose wisely. Because you choose for eternity.
