Hunter Biden did business with oligarchs in Russia and Ukraine during 2014 invasion

Published

on

The web of Hunter Biden’s unethical behavior disguised as “business” continues to be unraveled in the public eye; if only the mainstream media would actually report it. Most recently to be discovered, Just the News reports:

“In the shadows of Russia’s first invasion of Ukraine in 2014, Hunter Biden and his business partners embarked on an aggressive campaign to score millions of dollars in ‘life changing’ business with oligarchs in both countries who had an interest in his father’s policymaking business, according to emails and court records.”

Specifically, Hunter and his associates targeted Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina and her husband, even arranging for them to meet with then-Vice president Joe Biden at “an intimate diner in Washington in 2015.”

Baturina was sanctioned by the U.S. in 2018 for approximately $200 million, just a few years after Hunter helped her secure a bank account in America, emails show. While courting Baturina, Hunter was also working the Ukrainian side.

Hunter received the high paying position and consulting deals with Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky and his company, the famous Burisma Holdings. The U.S. and Great Britain already wanted Burisma Holdings investigated for corruption at that time.

One of Hunter’s business associates John Galanis, who has been convicted for their unethical work, declared in a sworn affidavit to a federal court that Hunter Biden was promising oligarchs “quid pro quo” access to his father in Washington and the U.S. government:

“Jason Galanis gave his interest in Burnham/Wealth Assurance to Archer on the prospect that Archer and Hunter Biden would continue to attract foreign oligarchs on the promise of high level political contacts,” John Galanis swore in a January 2020 affidavit that unequivocally referred to the scheme as “political influence peddling.”

Within Just the News’ incredibly detailed expose of the matter, the outlet reports:

Ever since Just the News and a Senate committee first revealed in 2020 that Baturina sent $3.5 million to a firm inside Hunter Biden’s business circle, Democrats and their defenders have tried to distance the family from the Russian oligarch. The Senate report, citing a media story, said Hunter Biden cofounded the firm that received that Baturina payment; Hunter Biden’s lawyer has said he didn’t have an ownership stake in the firm and wasn’t a cofounder.

But the memos make clear Hunter Biden had direct dealings and was on a first-name basis with Baturina as they pitched her deals, which included a $40 million real estate venture in New York through the Burnham investment firm where Hunter Biden was listed as a vice chairman in the firm’s promotional materials. Hunter Biden’s team also tried to get her an American bank account, the records show…

…By mid-February 2014, the Russian oligarch planned to visit with Biden’s associates when she came to the U.S. for the official opening of her American account. On Feb. 14, 2014, Baturina wired $3.5 million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton, LLC (an entity linked to Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca empire), according to a U.S. Senate report. One week later, Yanukovych fled Ukraine and the country plunged further into chaos.

The same month that Baturina got U.S. bank account approval and wired the $3.5 million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton, then-Vice President Joe Biden was named Obama’s “point man” to deal with the chaos in Ukraine.

Hunter’s entanglement with the wealthy oligarchs coincided with Russia invading Ukraine:

With Joe Biden handling U.S. foreign policy toward Ukraine, Hunter Biden and his business partners exploited the opportunity. “With Yelena in my now [sic],” Archer wrote to Hunter Biden on March 13, 2014. At that very moment, Russia — having already fully invaded Crimea — was amassing troops and armored vehicles in at least three more regions in eastern Ukraine: Belgorod, Kursk, and Rostov. And while the Ukrainian government was requesting lethal assistance from the U.S., the Obama-Biden administration “deferred” the request. 

As Russia was invading Ukraine, Hunter Biden was in direct contact with the Russian oligarch while visiting in Italy, according to an email exchange between his associates. Hunter Biden had booked Archer a room and was “At [Villa] d’Este,” emails show.

It was all fun and games for Hunter Biden until January 2018, when the Trump administration “sanctioned more than 100 Russian state-run company CEOS and Russian oligarchs for having close ties to Putin.”

Among them was Elena Baturina, who “was number 12 on the list of oligarchs, just behind Alfa Bank founder Petr Aven.” And finally, most telling of all, Just the News emphasizes “And when President Trump tried to get to the bottom of the Biden Burisma scheme, the Democrats impeached him.”

    All those deceitful millionaires plus Joe and Hunter Biden, who in our view, are all under the complete control of Satan the Devil. What are they going to do with their millions when
    they come face to face with, Jesus Christ, at His return? Those devils do not love people -JUST their BIG MANSIONS to brag about along with how wealthy they are. Just “A BIG SHOW OFF” to try to impress normal sensible people. I am a 92 year old low income widow and have never desired to be rich. I love people and especially little children who often have to go hungry in this country. I spend many hours behind my sewing machines every week sewing clothes for the needy. I could not be happier and looking for the return of Jesus.

    The son of the Big Guy is a miserable human being. Part of it involves his personal behavior with women but another part involves betrayal of our Nation for money, drugs, power and who knows what else.
    Hunter and anyone else exposed in the investigation need to suffer the consequences of literally selling out our Nation. This is serious.

    A disgusting nation led by mafiosi clans: the Kennedys, the Bush, the Clintons, the Obamas, the Bidens. None of them came to power by a military coup, all were “democratically” elected by a majority of american (stupid) citizens…

    I’ve been saying for quite a while now, that groping joe has been playing the Vinnie “the chin” gigante role for the last year. Anybody that’s not familiar with “the chin” should know that he lead the Genovese crime family in NY and managed to deceive the FBI for 25 years by stumbling around Greenwich Village in his pajamas and bath robe, mumbling to himself, and feigning mental illness. NY City detectives, tired of the usual fed b.s. stories, took it upon themselves to expose the chin as ” the boss” and finally took him down. This is joe the grope…..at times, speaking the queen’s English, ( ok, ok, using a 95 inch teleprompter helps) with almost no errors, yet at other times, he gets lost looking for ice cream in the middle of a sentence. Which ever case it may be, he needs to be removed and a Constitutional convention be called to look into everything biden, including that fraudulent election.

Pentagon Report Reveals China’s Rapid Nuclear Expansion, Doubling Previous U.S. Estimates

Published

on

China’s nuclear arsenal has surged to over 500 warheads—more than double the previous U.S. estimate—according to a newly released Pentagon intelligence report. This “rapid expansion” is raising alarm among U.S. officials as Beijing aggressively accelerates its military capabilities and steps up hostilities toward allied states in the Pacific.

The Daily Caller News Foundation reports that in 2020, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) assessed that China had amassed roughly 200 nuclear warheads and projected that the count could reach 400 by 2030. But the latest findings show China has already far exceeded that estimate, and the Pentagon now believes China could have over 1,000 operational warheads by 2030.

According to the report, China’s current nuclear build-up represents the most rapid and ambitious modernization effort in its history, indicating the nation’s long-term strategy for sustained competition with the U.S. and signaling an operational readiness for intensified strategic concepts. China’s arsenal, composed of various nuclear warheads, can be launched from a range of platforms, including submarines, ground-mobile systems, and aircraft. The DIA report also notes that China is building additional facilities for the production of fissile materials to further scale up its nuclear arsenal.

The report suggests that China remains committed to a “no first use” nuclear policy—meaning it would only launch a nuclear strike in retaliation. However, China’s “launch-on-warning” policy enables it to strike back preemptively if it detects an incoming attack.

“China is fielding new nuclear capabilities at a faster pace than at any time in its history,” the DIA report reads, emphasizing the military’s objective to achieve parity with the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Despite Beijing’s statements about maintaining a defensive posture, the Pentagon warns that China’s rapid nuclear advancements could lead to an increased risk of miscalculation.

The Pentagon report highlights China’s growing capability and confidence, suggesting that Beijing’s bolstered nuclear deterrence over the next decade could embolden its leaders. This, in turn, increases the risk of miscalculations and escalations as the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) builds up the capability to counter the U.S. across various domains.

A spokesperson from the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. downplayed concerns, pointing to America’s extensive nuclear arsenal as a primary security risk. “China is committed to a defensive nuclear strategy and a policy of ‘no first use’ of nuclear weapons and keeps our nuclear capabilities at the minimum level required by national security,” the spokesperson told the DCNF.

The report also reflects a lack of transparency in U.S.-China relations, with military talks largely suspended since 2022 and only resuming recently. This limited communication between the nations further fuels apprehension within the international community.

China’s nuclear expansion aligns with its broader military ambitions under President Xi Jinping, who has ordered the PLA to be prepared for a possible invasion of Taiwan by 2027. Although the U.S. maintains a “strategic ambiguity” policy toward Taiwan—meaning it does not disclose how it would respond to a Chinese invasion—the potential for conflict has heightened as China’s military power grows.
