Putin and in many ways Xi are showing the world that the US is weak and powerless. They are showing everyone how ineffective the US has become and who to go to.

She said the people where worried at first with Biden because they remember Obama and what happened with Crimea. She said so far it seems like Biden and the rest of the West is doing 100 times better and has hope.
According to her people in Ukraine think sanctions will work if big enough, because everyone knows Putin like his money and does not want to do anything that will hurt that.
She also like to point out that there has been fighting with the Russian in that area for 8 years. Something that we don’t really hear on the news here.

The more I think about it, I think you’re right. Biden would love us to get all upset about Russia and forget about his inflation, his wrecking our energy independence, his continuing to support Faucism, and his total failure to secure the southern border while making it difficult for legitimate truckers to cross the northern border.
If he thinks he’s going to unite the country in a war against Russia like GW did against Al-Quida after 9/11 he’s got another thing coming. At least I certainly hope even the lunatic left will balk at going to war. I’m not so sure though the way they have done a 180 on vaccines and censorship. I guess I won’t be surprised if the “peace loving, tolerant” left rallies to go to war. After all they went to war in our own cities in the summer of 2020.

"This is genius," he said of Putin's decision on Monday to officially recognize the breakaway provinces and authorize the use of Russian military personnel to assist them. "So Putin is now saying it’s independent — a large section of Ukraine. I said, how smart is that? And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re gonna keep peace, all right."

We have some safeguards. The powers reserved to red states and, hopefully, some previous swing states will be firmly red in November. So our job now is to get the cooperative RINOs out and some “Republicans” in that won’t put up with this ruling class dictatorship.

We should welcome with open arms (pun intended) any arms the Europeans (NATO and Ukraine) wish to purchase from us.

It's very clear that the U.S. is no longer the leading world power. We could easily have been with a second Trump term. But Biden has castrated us in the eyes of the world. By Biden I mean the Dems. Our military should be a lean killing machine, and instead it is being made all woke and rainbowey. We are a laughing stock. I don't even want to think about what would happen if Biden does something with the troops. Anything.
Think about it. We can't even manufacture anything. All our shit comes from China. And all our finances, energy, and basically everything, is online - easily attackable as the Colonial pipeline hack showed. We desperately need to become self sufficient again. We aren't the nation we were in 1945. We need to stay the fuck out of it. The west screwed up by not getting Ukraine into NATO years ago. It's too late now, it's lost. If Biden starts messing around and gets our kids killed in Ukraine, it won't be Russia I'll be pissed at.

I think if we pulled Ukraine into NATO, Russia would look at that like we looked at Cuba during the Cubs Missile Crisis. That’s as close as we ever came to playing nuclear chicken. Ukraine bulges way into Russia, not just a flat border to border. I’m not sure we want to play nuclear chicken.

That meme is a true story. Yesterday on the news they showed a line of people waiting at a Ukraine police station where they were to be issued a rifle (AK) on request. Evidently no questions asked--one person interviewed had never fired a gun before and didn't even know how to operate his new rifle. I hope the police were smart enough not to take names of people getting rifles, since those sorts of records would be among the first seized by the Russians.
This, of course, is good evidence why the Second Amendment is FAR from outdated, and points to the need of the people not only to be armed, but also competent with their rifles. And I mean "rifles". Shotguns and pistols won't cut it.

If Russia drops a nuke on DC and all of America is in chaos, we wouldn’t be allowed to mention it on the PoA board.
Let’s be fair. If Russia drops a nuke on DC, we won’t be ABLE to mention it anywhere. The world will end. Unless Biden forgets his code.

No AR15 needed...
That meme is a true story. Yesterday on the news they showed a line of people waiting at a Ukraine police station where they were to be issued a rifle (AK) on request. Evidently no questions asked--one person interviewed had never fired a gun before and didn't even know how to operate his new rifle. I hope the police were smart enough not to take names of people getting rifles, since those sorts of records would be among the first seized by the Russians.
This, of course, is good evidence why the Second Amendment is FAR from outdated, and points to the need of the people not only to be armed, but also competent with their rifles. And I mean "rifles". Shotguns and pistols won't cut it.

"Some of Canada’s government-owned liquor retail monopolies are pulling Russian products, mostly vodka, off their shelves in response to the country’s military attack on Ukraine.
The Ontario government has instructed the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, a monopoly wine-and-spirits retailer that bills itself as one of the world’s biggest buyers of alcohol, to remove Russian vodka from its shelves. “Ontario joins Canada’s allies in condemning the Russian government’s act of aggression against the Ukrainian people,” said the province’s finance minister, Peter Bethlenfalvy. Ontario is Canada’s most-populous province, accounting for nearly 40% of the country’s population."

Three reasons:
1. As Number 7 would say, Biden is a pussy.
2. They are dependent on Russian gas because they ignored Trump's plea to turn down Nord Stream and buy American Gas
3. Democrats rebelled and called Trump a bully when he tried to get European NATO countries to increase their defense budgets to 2 percent. They just don't have the forces to do it without us (see #1)

However, many of these countries shrugged it off and left the US holding the bag and paying for them. Trump came along and pointed this out, and actually got them to start paying their share.
Now that Biden is in, the US is back to getting stuck with the bills, again.

Emboldened? You know what emboldens dictators like Putin? Stupidity. Cowardice. Inaction. Empty threats. Ignorance. And Biden has these traits in spades.
There is a lot of gaslighting online and in corporate media coverage about how Trump was – and still is – a puppet for Putin. These desperate claims would be hilarious if not for the seriously flawed and dangerous results of holding such contemptible views. The only question worth asking in the moment is: Did any of this happen under Trump? The answer, of course, is no.

Think inflation is high now? Just wait till this summer. We are on the edge of a great depression that will further weaken the US dollar and destroy wealth in the middle class. China wants desperately to become the reserve currency, and they are well on their way of achieving that.

That explains it. I learned the Russian spelling as a young teenager when my oldest brother and I played the Avalon Hill war game Stalingrad (it covered the entire WWII eastern front at the division level.) Years later when I was working at a silicon valley startup I startled a fellow programmer from Belarus by knowing the approximate relative locations of Minsk, Smolensk, and the Pripyat marshes (and river) - without looking at a map. He was surprised an American would know their names, never mind where they were located. Especially Smolensk, which he considered a small unimportant town. To me it was an important city on the rail line from Poland to Moscow - we just knew it as the Minsk-Smolensk attack route to Moscow.
On looking around the web I found this picture of the game board (sorry, just engaging in a bit of nostalgia on my part):

Belarus is entering the war on the side of Russia or is about to. France has closed its airspace to Russia, several countries are sending arms to Ukraine, Turkey is considering blocking Russia’s passage to the Black Sea, sanctions are flying like hot cakes all over the globe and Germany seems to have taken the lead in NATO given the absence of any kind of U.S. leadership. This is starting to feel reminiscent of the beginnings of the Great War, absent an assassination. Except now there are nukes and the nuclear superpowers aren’t allies.
I seriously doubt putin would even acknowledge france closing their airspace to his bombers.
macron would be far more likely to burst into tears and surrender than actually stand up to him.

Are they trying to scare us or is it normal to alert your nuke deterrents any time there is tension?
From your link:
Putin ordered the Russian defense minister and the chief of the military's General Staff to put the nuclear deterrent forces in a "special regime of combat duty." The move signals tensions could boil over into a nuclear war.
"He is right now threatening a nuclear escalation," said former DIA intelligence officer Rebekah Koffler. "This a veiled threat – or maybe such a veiled threat - he just met with his chief of general staff and minister of defense. He is escalating the conflict into the nuclear domain in order to de-escalate – that is topple Kyiv’s regime quickly."

The unknown to me are the upper Russian military. Are they all hardcore Putin followers or are they just playing along to protect themselves? Will they actually use the weapons at Putin's orders or will they refuse and lead a coup against him? We could be on the brink of nuclear war, or the brink on an unprecedented era of world stability and peace (or as close to that as may ever be possible) if we handle this the right way. Do we as the world combined have the balls to attack and completely destroy Russia's military and nuclear capability if a coup goes down, or even straight up dropping cruise missiles on Putin's head? Are we willing to destroy their oil infrastructure and completely cutoff oil imports/exports and bankrupt and starve the Russian populace to destroy their country? At this point are there any peaceful options? Do we really want Putin to leave Ukraine only to keep him with the capability for him to come back in a few years?

Will they actually use the weapons at Putin's orders or will they refuse and lead a coup against him? We could be on the brink of nuclear war, or the brink on an unprecedented era of world stability and peace (or as close to that as may ever be possible) if we handle this the right way.

Yep. This is also eerily WW2 deja vu. There was indeed a plot among Hitler’s higher ups to stop him but it failed. That’s a very difficult thing to pull off. People tend to look out for themselves. I’m not sure there’s enough discontent with Putin among the Russians in general to support a coup. Yes there have been protests against this war but that doesn’t mean Russians want to completely destabilize their government.

Are our nuclear subs being alerted to be "more" ready?
How close are we to a nuclear conflict?
I cannot speak to silos and bombers, but our boomers are at normal status, which is to say they are ready.
How close? Not. Unless Putin believes he can stop our entire triad, he would be a fool to launch anything. Putting his nuclear force on high alert is a political stunt intended to scare you. He wants you terrorized that he WILL launch, even knowing that if he does, he will have destroyed the world. His only out would be if Biden forgot which ID number is his.

That’s not how it works. Biden and other senior members eligible to be the second man to authorize a nuclear weapons launch have an id card with rows of different numbers on it. The identity check requires Biden to identify which number is the real one, something like “mine is the fourth one down”. If he can’t remember which one it is, the military will not have confirmation of authority to confirm launch.

That explains it. I learned the Russian spelling as a young teenager when my oldest brother and I played the Avalon Hill war game Stalingrad (it covered the entire WWII eastern front at the division level.) Years later when I was working at a silicon valley startup I startled a fellow programmer from Belarus by knowing the approximate relative locations of Minsk, Smolensk, and the Pripyat marshes (and river) - without looking at a map. He was surprised an American would know their names, never mind where they were located. Especially Smolensk, which he considered a small unimportant town. To me it was an important city on the rail line from Poland to Moscow - we just knew it as the Minsk-Smolensk attack route to Moscow.That’s really cool. Did you ever go on to study Russian further?
On looking around the web I found this picture of the game board (sorry, just engaging in a bit of nostalgia on my part):

Ukraine launches website to help Russian families find their relatives killed in combat. The Interior Ministry has launched 200rf.com, where it publishes photos and documents of the dead and captured Russian soldiers. Earlier Ukraine appealed to the Red Cross so that it carries out a humanitarian mission to hand over the bodies of Russian soldiers, but Russia hasn’t responded to the request. That is why Ukraine is asking the relatives of the dead to pick up their bodies.

I was just getting ready to post that. Just went there. Wow.
In other videos posted elsewhere and translated, the Russian POWs say that their cell phones were taken away from them by the Russians prior to the invasion so they 1. Couldn’t contact their families to tell them where they are and 2. Couldn’t get outside info about what was going on. They’ve been told they are participating in “exercises”, and mostly don’t want to be there. Now of course maybe they’re trained to say that if captured and who knows if they’re really captured soldiers anyway or it’s some staged thing for Ukrainian psyops but it seemed authentic to me. I’m getting the idea the Russian soldiers are not at all passionate about what they’re doing, and of course the Ukrainians are, and I’ve heard the saying that in war, the side that has the stronger will and reason to fight is the one likely to win. It’s not looking like that’s the Russians at all.

Though playing those games made me aware of, for example, the first Finnish-Soviet war started in 1939 where the Soviet army got its military butt kicked by a smaller foe - though the Soviets eventually adjusted and through sheer weight of numbers won the territory it sought (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War)). Perhaps too long ago to be relevant to the current situation.

I have to disagree with that. Having balls isn’t the same thing as leadership. In Zelensky’s case he has both. But they don’t necessarily travel together.
Jordan Peterson has done talks on how the genders express aggression. Males tend to fight physically. Females use words, reputation destruction, social ostracism, that sort of thing. What it amounts to with Hillary is she uses her yap. That in no way means anyone would follow her ass into battle or that she’d ever go there herself. It might take a certain amount of balls to verbally challenge an enemy, doesn’t make anyone a leader. And to the extent Hillary might have enough “balls” to bitch at people, it isn’t a compliment. People who do extreme sports might have balls but stupidly get themselves killed carrying it too far. I admit they have balls but I won’t follow them. If I had to define it that way, that would be Hillary, she’d get us into WW3 with her yap. Trump on the other hand, being a leader, would have kept us out of this mess.

Biden could open up oil production in our country, bring down gas to Trump prices, and secure his re-election. But his handlers are too delusional/stupid/head up their collective asses to let that happen. Unfortunately, they are going to hurt too many people who are barely scraping by as it is, and then act all surprised when they turn against Biden; obligatory screams of racism, misogyny, trumpism to follow. And yes, some idiots out there will jump on the green technology bandwagon regardless of the harm, and those who have drank all the liberal kool-aid and think the left can do no harm no matter what.

The questions aren't entirely rhetorical, though - there are many reasons people post to forums: some like to share what they know, or to share their thoughts, or to ask questions and learn, and some see forums as metaphorical sports arenas.
One of my discoveries is that often times the best response to a post is no response.
The other discovery is to avoid getting into a land war in Asia.

Biden could open up oil production in our country, bring down gas to Trump prices, and secure his re-election. But his handlers are too delusional/stupid/head up their collective asses to let that happen. Unfortunately, they are going to hurt too many people who are barely scraping by as it is, and then act all surprised when they turn against Biden; obligatory screams of racism, misogyny, trumpism to follow. And yes, some idiots out there will jump on the green technology bandwagon regardless of the harm, and those who have drank all the liberal kool-aid and think the left can do no harm no matter what.
Another point to ponder: The people who took a peaceful Libya and destroyed it, then left it in the chaos it is today are the same people behind what is happening in the Ukraine.

I’m starting to agree with the people insinuating that he has a screw loose, Condi Rice among them. I’m not sure he cares about money or the Russian economy. I feel sure he doesn’t care about his people, only staying in power. I don’t think he imagines ever giving up his “throne”. That’s not to say don’t hit him in the wallet. Maybe the best to hope for is his oligarchs will care enough about their rubles to do something about him although the odds of that happening are probably remote.

You asked the question. Not my problem that you don’t like the answerYou can look at this two ways. If Joe thought that Hillary has the balls to take on Putin so she could kick him in the testicles, that’s not leadership.
I know plenty of people with courage/strength/balls/whatever and have absolutely no leadership ability
Balls don’t do not have anything to do with leadership
But if Hillary has the balls to take on Putin in any other capacity in which she COULD TAKE ON Putin, the only options would something like the head of state. That would by definition require leadership. It could be terrible, fatal leadership, but it would require leadership nonetheless.

First, I am saying that most Democrats have no balls (compared to Hillary)
Hillary is probably the only Democrat with enough balls to stand up to Russia, but only if there is something in it for her.
Then I say, "but only if there is something in it for her'.

And if you don’t think that there’s something in it for ANYONE running for president, then that’s naive. Anyone who has ever run for any office has had a massive ego, almost always accompanied by an insatiable thirst for power and aggrandizement.
Ergo, if someone has the balls has to stand up to Putin, he or she must do so from a position of power, which in turn would mean that person is a leader (good or bad), which would provide something for him or her, namely satisfying an insatiable thirst for power and aggrandizement.

I agree. And discipline in the armed forces, especially U.S., is NOT what it was before due to PC bullshit. I can see the Russian conscripts breaking all kinds of rules mainly because of lack of training and also being forced into the military.

No. Hillary would cower like the bitch she is and cut a deal to give Putin whatever he wanted.I can understand someone disagreeing with my saying she had balls, or that she would stand up to Putin. Even though I didn't say she WOULD stand up to Putin. I said she was the ONLY Democrat that had enough balls to do so. (Does that sound like something a Democrat would say)?
But I also said she would only stand up to Russia if there was something in it for her.
So where the fuck did this come from?

It was probably true what he said about being told they were just doing “exercises” at least when they first started out, so they wouldn’t have worried about being tracked. Besides, it’s not like the satellites aren’t seeing the long lines of tanks and stuff anyway. The only covert operations are the assassination squads and recon being sent in to the cities. They probably have cellphones too. But what the hell do I know. They’d be pinging AT&T towers in Kyiv? How would that even work?

In my experience, most people don't mind telling you they are a conservative or libertarian, and what their principles are.
Yet for some reason some of those with leftist leanings will try to convince you they are "moderate" or "centrist", yet virtually everything they talk about has hard leftist leanings. Then they will get very agitated when it gets pointed out they are using leftist talking points and positions.

That's basically me. But these days labels are just all over the map. Like how the Canadian "liberal" government is actually behaving very fascistically.
Let's take one issue: medical marijuana. Legalizing marijuana, medical or otherwise, has been a traditional leftist, liberal position. It's one of the things I'm "liberal" on. Whereas keeping pot illegal used to be a strong conservative/Republican position.
But wait. Take a look at what's happening today. Big Pharma seems to be opposing medical marijuana. Why? Because in states where it has been legalized, there's a huge drop in prescriptions for painkillers. People are smoking pot instead of getting OxyContin. This is a big money loss for the drug companies. Is it a coincidence then that the DEA and FDA are fighting medical marijuana? Who is in control of these federal agencies? It's not a bunch of conservatives. And Biden and the House Dems seem happy to do nothing (except take donations from Big Pharma). In fact, the feds are ramping up to attack perfectly legal hemp derived Delta-8 because it is as effective as regular marijuana, and hence also threatening Big Pharma pain pill profits.
Like Lucifer always says, follow the money. The divide isn't really right or left, or conservative or liberal. It actually seems to be authoritarian centralized control vs letting the free market decide the best medical treatment for pain.
So I don't really know if I should call myself "liberal" on the marijuana issue anymore. Not if by "liberal" you mean the Democrat elite these days.

Putin has ordered Russian media not to use the words “invasion” or “war”, as they are false misinformation.
Twitter, Youtube and Facebook would be proud of this outstanding level of calling obvious truth “misinformation”.
Our Mainstream Media does it too, as does Canada, Australia, UK and others, WITHOUT being ordered directly by Government. Well, we don't know who is behind the scenes. They are following someone's orders.

Now look at the pickle Europe is in. Trump was spot on. Yet now we have a clueless vapid vegetable as a “wartime president”.
Everyone stupid enough to vote or cheat to take Trump out of office is responsible for this disaster that could well result in nuclear obliteration of the whole human race. Thanks a lot you motherfucking Democrats. Putin saw that the first thing Biden did was turn the U.S. from an oil exporter to an oil importer and saw his chance to make a move. He wouldn’t have dared do this with Trump in office.

It sounds like it. Some "alt right" I hear them say we don't want to get entangled in it, but NO ONE supports Putin. People might be pro-Russian people, but if anyone is saying pro-Trump people approve of what Putin is doing then they are most likely Russian operatives or simply American leftist propagandists. Because the left is all pro-Ukraine right now, the assumption is the right is the opposite. Nothing could be further from the truth but the left would like to paint the right as "on the wrong side". With no evidence.
That's my take anyway. So far.

Yep exactly.
Speaking of winter, a lot of the videos I see of the fighting in Ukraine is with snow falling. And civilians fleeing under frozen precipitation. What a miserable mess. At least the dead bodies and body parts might take longer to start smelling.
Speaking of dead Russians, there is a Ukrainian phone line Russian family members can call to try to find out information about their soldier who has stopped texting them. Usually they don’t get anything. The Ukrainians claimed, at least at first, to be collecting IDs and photo images of the dead to put up on their 200rf or whatever website and Twitter account so Russian families can identify them, but as the body count and chaos mounts, I wonder how well they are keeping up with that.
Unlike the first two world wars we now have DNA technology that, in theory, could supply conclusive proof of a MIA’s demise. But the resources to do that would be immense. You’d have to collect a sample from each of the bodies (whether whole or in unidentifiable pieces) before chucking it all into a mass grave, which they must do, if, as some of the Russian captives have said, the Russians are not bothering to collect their dead. You’d have to preserve the samples, ultimately test them, the families in Russia would need to do likewise and so on. I have no idea if anyone is attempting to do this. I can imagine the Ukrainians caring less and less about the Russian dead as more and more of their own civilians are being killed.
The Russians can’t even manage to move their 40+ mile long convoy, or keep it supplied with food and fuel, much less move bodies back in the other direction. The crew in that convoy are in many cases moving out of the vehicles to camp in the woods at some distance for fear of Ukrainian spot attacks. They are running out of food and water. I imagine some might be deserting and trying to melt into the countryside, to take their chances switching sides.

I’m inclined to believe it’s true but there is a lot of propaganda. There’s a rumor floating around that one of the Belarusian Generals resigned because of mass refusal by military units to take actions against Ukraine, but that was denied by their Defense Ministry. Although I can believe the rank and file “cannon fodder” Belarusians want to go invade Ukraine about as much as the Russian soldiers do.
Possibly what happened is he tried to resign and got told he and his whole family will be disappeared if he doesn’t fall in line.

"Nervous laughter is called an incongruous emotion. This means that you experience an emotion when the situation doesn’t necessarily call for it.
Nervous laughter happens for a number of reasons. Some research suggests that your body uses this sort of mechanism to regulate emotion. Other research has found that nervous laughter may be a defense mechanism against emotions that may make us feel weak or vulnerable.
Either way, it’s pretty weird to experience. Uncontrollable nervous laughter may also be a symptom of an underlying condition."
...
"So we’re essentially reassuring ourselves that whatever’s making us uncomfortable isn’t that big a deal when we laugh at an uncomfortable situation.
This could be a result of a cognitive defense mechanism for lowering anxiety associated with discomfort or showing the threat itself that we don’t fear it."

They’re calling for cold temperatures in Ukraine and suggesting that the Russians could freeze to death in their tanks if they aren’t kept supplied with fuel.
The convoy is splitting up, fanning out into the forest. This is apparently an official order, as opposed to many of the soldiers having already abandoned the convoy to either loot nearby villages or turn themselves in to the Ukrainians.
Going out into the forest means the surrounding villages. More contact with civilians. I listened to an audio of Russian soldiers encountering civilians, robbing them, then deciding whether to kill them. “If we don’t they will give away our position,” one said, so they did. I have no idea if it is authentic.
Think about it. You’re a drafted soldier. You were lied to about going into battle, and you have no beef with these people. You find yourself a sitting duck for two weeks in a line of tanks being randomly blown up. Maybe your food and water are running low. What would you do? Stay where you are, wait to eventually get to Kyiv and face intense battle with an enemy that has good reason to fight to the death? That is, if the Ukrainians don’t first destroy you where you sit, or you die of hypothermia.
Maybe you figure the risk to yourself is way less if you leave the convoy on foot, find a village, turn yourself in and hope to survive the war as a POW. I have to believe many were doing that, not all, not even most, but some. So now the commanders say “this isn’t working.” So now we have tank crews on missions to infiltrate the landscape. Maybe we get a lot more of the encounters with civilians where they end up dead.
I have no idea if my take is accurate nor am I judging what anyone over there does. If the Russians don’t obey orders they face prison or execution when they get home. If they desert and deliberately surrender to the enemy they know they can never return home. One of them said that he feared punishment from Putin for just getting captured because he “failed” at his job. But who knows if captured Russians are coerced by the Ukrainians into saying things that portray the Russians as worse than they are. They don’t look very coerced. Not like western hostages of Islamic terrorists. You can kind of tell when people are being forced to say stuff.

Yes, because I expect that from them. CNN being anti American, anti freedom and pro Totalitarian Marxism is really much worse. They are indicative of 95% of all media, however.

Quote
The Kuril islands runs from Japan to Russia, separating the Okhotsk sea from the Pacific ocean. Annexed by Russia after World War II and administered by it since, the southernmost islands in the chain remain a Japanese claim—and on Monday, the long-running feud erupted with an unusually forthright announcement by Japan's prime minister.
"The Northern Territories are a territory that belongs to Japan, a territory over which Japan has sovereignty," the Japanese Prime Minister said.
On one hand, this is a return to language Japan used to use during the cold war. On the other hand, Russia has gone all-in on its Ukraine war—"nearly 100 percent of the Russian combat power prestaged at the Ukrainian border are now committed to the fight"—and Japan is suggesting that Russia couldn't do anything to stop Japan from taking the Kurils*.
* Short of nuclear war. And what an asterisk that is!

Sounds good to me. I can believe their reflexive control pulls Biden’s leash around, and the western media falls for their sensationalistic over statements about new technology, and the most frightening thing I got from it is how much bigger threat China is. He even makes the point at the end that Russia’s sorry state of mundane maintenance shouldn’t lull us into underestimating them. I like his concept of looking at reality instead of stopping at manipulative media reporting.

If Putin is as unbalanced as he seems, other factions might take a stronger hand and try to turn the tide of Putin's strategy of prosecuting an unnecessary war, while losing control of those he has had his boot on for years.

Some sober analysts (as opposed to the fucking mental dwarfs of the left) are saying that the Ukraine invasion might turn out to be as expensive a debacle as their foray into Afghanistan.
I’ve been thinking that myself. And they didn’t seem to learn from Afghanistan like the U.S. did in Vietnam. We adjusted to warfare in jungle/village/urban/civilian settings. They don’t seem to have. Their column of tanks is straight out of WW2. They were being picked off by unmanned drones. Didn’t they see what Obama was doing all those years? It looks like they might finally be learning, by dispersing off the road and hiding amongst houses and trees.
But let’s say they do manage to kill Zelensky and take Kyiv. They’re going to face chronic insurrection. The west is being led to believe Zelensky is driving this whole thing. I don’t believe that’s the case. He’s a galvanizing force for sure, but only because the Ukrainians themselves want the fight. It’s not top down from Zelensky like it is with Putin. On the contrary Zelensky is merely leading them in what they would be doing anyway. Without him the Ukrainians would appoint another leader and carry on the fight. The same cannot be said for Putin. His mile long table says it all: A lone and paranoid old man.

Haha! Ours got one or two spankings but mostly were controlled by the 1,2,3 method. If they weren’t behaving my husband just started counting, “One, two…” That’s all it took.

Here’s what pisses me off the most about affirmative action hires. That everyone sees this and then assumes all minority hires are under qualified and were hired for their skin color, gender etc. As a woman engineer I want to be known that I was hired because I’m good, better than the other candidates. I don’t want people to think I was hired because I’m female. I’m old now so I don’t give a shit but the best most excellent young engineer I know is a black female, extremely sweet, and was hired solely because she was the best out of all the candidates but in today’s hyper woke atmosphere with blatant race and sex discrimination against white males all over the place, people probably assume that she was hired because of her color and gender and because of Kamala Harris you can see why people think that. What about the SC nominee, Joey came right out and declared it would be a black female period. No consideration about who is best qualified. So here is my friend who can engineer circles around everybody else, thrown in with the likes of those two whose top qualifications - in the case of Harris only qualifications - were their skin and genitals.

The Dems do not care if they can even fog a mirror, they just need the name and DOB so they can fill out the absentee ballot for them.
Texas' new voter requirement for absentee ballots is last 4 of SS# or full Texas ID.
Guess what? The Dems do not have that and see what happens:
https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/more-than-25-of-tarrant-mail-in-ballots-may-not-count-because-of-new-rules/2893544/ (https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/more-than-25-of-tarrant-mail-in-ballots-may-not-count-because-of-new-rules/2893544/)
From the story:
More than 25% of mail-in ballots are being “questioned” and could ultimately not count unless voters correct their ballots, said elections administrator Heider Garcia.
“It’s significantly higher” than past elections which saw a less than 10% rejection rate, Garcia said.
Last year, the Republican-controlled Texas Legislature passed new rules they say make it harder to cheat.
This is the first election since those changes, which require more information from voters on mail-in ballots.
Specifically, voters must include their driver’s license number or last four digits of their social security number under a flap on the envelope.
The numbers must match the information on file with the election office.

Do people even know what the Nazis were/are? Or like "pussy", is it just a knee jerk word?
I think people conflate “Nazi” with “authoritarian”. If you notice when leftists talk about the threat of authoritarianism in the U.S. they are talking about conservatives, Trump or Republicans. They are referring to anti-abortion laws and marriage is between one man and one woman, that sort of thing.
But when the Russians talk, I don’t know if the translation is literally Nazi or if they are using some Russian word for authoritarian, which they perceive the Ukrainian government to be. However, they associate that with NATO, the U.S. and the west, and if you watch the Mikhaila Peterson video with the Russian giving his side, which I don’t blame you if you didn’t it’s so long, he is speaking about how the west has lost traditional values. We have lost our morality with gays, wokeness and so on. He is calling that “Nazi” which is the exact opposite of what the left in America call “Nazi”.
Of course the real definition of Nazi is very specifically Hitler’s socialist nationalism with antisemitic racism, anti-Catholic, anti-gay, and so on. Strictly speaking Zelensky cannot be a Nazi - he’s Jewish. So it seems nobody, really, is using the term correctly. And it seems to me everyone is using the term to mean what they perceive as authoritarianism, or a power trying to impose their ideals or morals or lack of them on me. Whatever my opinion is, the opposite is a Nazi. If you substitute “authoritarian” then it fits; the right in American views the left as the authoritarian.

One of Mikhaila Peterson’s guests disputed that. (Although it is widely believed.) He said that actually by the second or third generation, they are well assimilated and are indistinguishable from native born Americans in language, culture, religion and politics. I take that to mean locally: if they’re in a Dem city they become soy drinking leftists and if they’re in redneck country they become gun toting Trump supporters. From my personal experience around here in my corner of Texas that’s true.
BUT and this is a big but. He said in Europe in some countries they automatically give immigrants welfare income which means they don’t have to work or start a business to survive, they cloister in isolated communities and those are the ones that retain the original culture. The same might be true of pockets in America, especially in Dem states but in general, they must work, and by doing so they absorb our culture, not the first generation, but one or two generations down.
The opposition guy said social welfare programs is the big problem. Unlimited immigration would be fine if it weren’t a burden on he taxpayers.
Both these guys made astoundingly strong arguments. I agree with a lot of what they both said. The pro guy said the reason we have so many illegals is that the legal process to come in is so onerous and he’s right. The anti guy said basically we don’t have enough room for more people. The pro guy said sure we do we have plenty of empty land and the anti guy said but they don’t settle there, they settle in already overcrowded cities. They both made excellent points.

We really need to overhaul our immigrant system, crack down harder on illegals, vet legals better, but streamline and speed up the process. No free benefits.

The Democrats and whomever runs them want a centralized World Government, where individuals have little or no say in their present nor future. They want controlled, subservient people who toil on their behalf. Wealth flows up, not down.

We are under the "Great Reset". With the scamdemic fading, they needed another crisis to keep the pressure on the populace, so a nice little war was provoked. But those doing the provocation are in fact morons, and they bit off way more than they can chew.
This has the potential to get really out of control with unintended consequences. But the one thing that it will do is further reduce freedoms, and place the populace under more restrictions and controls. Just look at everything Biden's handlers are doing right now, who is paying the price? Those sanctions hurt the American citizens and the citizens of Russia, not the ruling class or the elites.

“Due for another war”…. I have a theory. Why do we wage war? The simplistic answer is competition over resources. You know, like leftover from caveman days when resources were scarce. That doesn’t make a lot of sense now. Modern technology is advanced to the point we can easily supply the whole world with food and energy. We have an abundance of it, the only reason there is scarcity is political. Tribalism on the global scale and the “dark forest theory”. (You have to annihilate outside groups first because you can’t know their intentions, and they feel the same about you.)
But it might be way simpler than that. It might be simply the extrapolated result of sexual selection: Females select mates who are bigger and stronger and more dominant so as to give the best genes to her offspring. So evolution results in some males becoming extremely dominant. At the pinnacle are the most Machiavellian psychopaths - those who ruthlessly climb to the top of the dominance hierarchy, the ultimate expression of the “superior” genes that females select for.
But survival and superiority aren’t just about who is the most violent and dominant. It’s also about empathy and compassion. You want a man to give your children genes for strength but you also need him to be cooperative in the group, and feel protective of you and your children. That’s why most males aren’t Machiavellian psychopaths. Evolution won’t allow many like that, they are eventually stopped (like Hitler). People like Hitler and Putin got the dominance genes but lack the humanity gene.
Feminists like to blame war on men. That evil testosterone. But it’s women who made them that way by selection. It’s just that nature doesn’t always put all the genes together in the right balance and you end up with some extreme assholes like Putin. We are always going to have some like that. The good news is they are widely disapproved of once they show their true colors. Unfortunately they cause massive suffering and destruction before they can be stopped.

Peppermint Patty is getting increasingly worse as she has to tell more lies. The other day she said there was no proof that COVID didn't effect kids as badly as older folks. She really had the "balls" to say that. ::)
What she is probably talking about is the new study that came out saying that kids get infected just as much as adults, BUT, and this is a very big but, they are still way less likely to show any symptoms at all. What this has to mean is simply testing. Everybody is testing their kids now and nobody was in 2020. If kids have no symptoms, we have no clue they got sick and no case is counted. Now, every positive test is counted as a “case”. This artificially skews the data implying the virus has mutated to attack children more but that may not be the truth at all.
I have not read the actual study, I’m making assumptions here. Things like they didn’t control for testing or symptoms and use the new incorrect definition of “case”. But it wouldn’t surprise me at all for the CDC, the Biden administration, Psaki, and the cult covidians to all misconstrue that study to justify more vaccines for kids and continued masking the poor little things.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not defending her. The defining feature of covid has always been that it’s a threat primarily to the old and those with comorbidities and that hasn’t changed. They’re still pushing the nonsense that toddlers need to wear masks and get jabbed to prevent them from killing grandma and there is still no real evidence that I’m aware of that asymtomatic children are transmitting the virus.

Quote
…the bitter truth is that all that President Volodymyr Zelensky has to do to stop the relentless slaughter of his people is to state clearly and categorically that Ukraine will never join NATO, that Ukraine will never allow foreign military bases on her soil and that Ukraine will maintain her neutrality like Sweden and Finland.
He also has to allow the Russian-speaking people of Donetsk and Eastern Ukraine to exercise their right of self-determination and either form their own independent country or become part of Russia. Finally, he has to renounce Ukraine’s claim to Crimea and accept the fact that this strategically-placed seaport and region is now, and will always be part and parcel of Russia.
Instead of offering these guarantees and taking these steps, he is giving fine speeches to western parliaments whilst his people are being slaughtered and butchered in their churches, offices, homes and houses and whilst his villages, towns and cities are being bombed, burnt, bombarded and utterly destroyed.
My response to that is, do we know Russia will stop if Zelensky does these things? I hardly think so. Putin has made it clear that he intends to absorb all of Ukraine, and “kill all the Nazis”, and has already gone back on negotiated humanitarian corridor agreements, and even if Zelensky agrees to all of this, one of Russia’s points is that past NATO related promises have been broken by the west, why would Putin accept more promises?
Quote
I am constrained to ask, what type of man is this? Is he delusional or does he just pretend to be? I cannot possibly describe him as a hero.
I say this because a hero helps his people, does what is in their best interest and does all that is reasonable and necessary to guarantee their comfort, well-being, safety and security.
A hero does not goad and provoke the Russian bear or spit in its face in a reckless and dangerous display of open defiance and contempt.
Well maybe he is doing what’s in their best interest. They don’t want to be ruled by Russia. And open defiance is arguably the best response to an illegitimate invader. To do otherwise shows weakness. Zelensky is doing the right thing IF his people want it, and have the same defiant will that he does. From all I see they do, the ones around Kyiv in the west anyway. On the other hand, “all I see” is likely war propaganda. I’m sure there are civilians in Kyiv that hate him and want to give up to stop the bombing and they are not being interviewed and put online. I have to keep an open mind about that.
Quote
All this could have been avoided if her president had displayed a little humility and restraint from the outset and if he had he not opted to dance to the tune of Joe Biden, Boris Johnson, Emmanuel Macron and all his other western friends who later deserted him.
Not sure I disagree with the bold part. Russia seems put out about the corrupt ties between Biden etc. and Ukraine. I’ve heard some supporters of Russia claim Russia is fighting against the whole global fascist, Big Tech, woke, great reset thing happening in the west. While that may be true, it doesn’t mean I think Putin and his form of corrupt oligarchy should win that fight. They’re no better and in fact are just the same or worse. It is not the case that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I don’t pretend to have any clue what we should do about this. Is Putin a dangerous Hitler that needs to be stopped whatever it takes, and the U.S. needs to get directly involved? Does that risk all out nuclear war? Does the U.S. need to remain neutral and let Ukraine deal with it on their own? Will that encourage Putin to continue west and attack NATO nations? Then triggering us getting involved anyway?
Are we hurting ourselves more than Russia with economic sanctions? Will economic sanctions cause Russia to depose Putin or Putin to cave, or will they just hurt the west more and drive Russia to become self sufficient and friendlier with China? Then China will invade Taiwan, and we will end up fighting both Russia and China at the same time.
I have no idea if we should close the Ukrainian airspace like Zelensky wants or if we should send the fighter jets in. I do know for certain that Biden shutting down our energy self reliance is the WRONG thing no matter what. That’s about all I know for certain other than Biden/Harris is the absolute worst possible administration at this time.
Post by: bflynn on March 20, 2022, 07:38:30 PM
Should we risk nuclear war? Yes, but then I believe there is no chance Putin is so stupid as to destroy the world in a temper tantrum, he thinks far too highly of himself. If he uses even a single tactical nuclear weapon, he loses Ukraine because too much will be contaminated and that contamination will be carried on air currents back into Russia. Plus, the entire world will be turned against him and he will fully be a pariah. I don't think even China could stand with him.

And that is what Putin is doing in Ukraine. That guy Candace interviewed said so. We think Russia is a bumbling mess but actually they’re being very deliberate, slowly circling to cut off cities from supplies to starve them out and target civilians with rockets until there is nothing left.
Is it true Putin thought he could take Ukraine in one day and is now stupidly surprised they’re resisting? Or did he plan it to be like this all along? Like the Art of War, let your enemy think you are weak when you are strong and Vice versa.

Biden is waging a proxy war right now by sending billions of our dollars to Ukraine, and using our military to train Ukrainian military. And while Biden has slipped up and said he would send our troops into Ukraine, only to have his handlers walk it back, others in his administration keep alluding to sending troops in.
Would Trump have done that if he were president in 1941?
Trump was not president in 1941.
We have had a failing of leadership in foreign policy for the past 15 or so years.
Under BHO our foreign policy switched to appeasement and the US became the laughing stock of the world as BHO was bowing to tyrants and praising dictators. BHO's administration destabilized countries and governments (example: Libya) and fueled several conflicts.
Trump came along and took a stronger stance on foreign policy, such as requiring NATO members to pay up and stop using the US to fund their defense. Trump wanted out of Afghanistan but the neocons serving the MIC refused. Those same neocons beat the drum loudly to get us into more wars, and again Trump refused. The democrat party flipped from being the party of peace to the party demanding we go to every war that cropped up. Trump used the big stick method of Teddy Roosevelt and it worked.
Along comes FJB who has now sunk our foreign policy to even lower than his mentor BHO, and we haven't hit bottom yet.

It was an unfair hypothetical question because Trump wouldn’t have faced this situation. His stance while in charge prevented Putin from acting.
You can’t define it by the words he says. He and Biden could say the exact same words and the effects would be totally different.

Ever since Putin went into Ukraine, Biden and his globohomo handlers have been salivating and hinting about escalating the conflict and getting involved under cover of “defending Ukraine” when what they really want is a major distraction from their money-laundering and corruption there and elsewhere, and a headline- and attention-sucking war to make billions for themselves from.

Ukraine is the black hole of money laundering. This is why Hunter Biden was there, as well as the sons of many prominent politicians. Trump knew about this, and when he brought it to light, the impeachment started.
Now Biden is dumping in billions, and it's going through the wash cycle. Many in the UniParty stand to profit with their daisy fresh clean money coming back.

Biden is currently pouring our tax dollars into this money pit of Ukraine. One has to wonder if he's getting his 10%.
I don’t actually mind giving Ukraine money and weapons, or more accurately, I wouldn’t, if the federal government didn’t waste so much. For example, five federal agencies in two years spent $3.1 billion giving employees paid administrative leave instead of firing them when caught doing things like patronizing prostitutes while on duty.
As much as I long to help stop Putin, as it stands right now we can’t afford to support Ukraine. Not only do we not have the money, keep in mind that weapons given Ukraine deplete our own stockpile and we do not have the workforce or production capacity to quickly replenish them. We have already given them one third of our javelin anti-tank missiles! Whether Ukraine falls or not, we might have to face Russia and/or China eventually. It’s insane to bankrupt ourselves both financially and militarily at this point in time, making us that much weaker and emboldening our enemies possibly even causing them to aggress further: Taiwan, Moldova, etc.
There is a real risk this could morph into a global conflict requiring us to defend our own homeland. We should be shutting down all funding of spotted salamanders and gender studies, cutting the federal bureaucracy by 90%, and directing most of the budget to building our own defense capabilities including domestic manufacturing, funding social security and Medicare, securing our southern border, gaining energy independence, and NOTHING MORE.

They are BADLY miscalculating. This isn’t going to be a protracted geographically limited war in the Mideast or Far East that could provide them with years of profit while the rest of the world chugs merrily along. Ukraine and Russia together produce almost a quarter of the world’s wheat with Ukraine’s production already cut by 20% so far because of the war. If Russia takes Odessa, which they are already bombing, Ukraine will lose its last export port. Countries that depend on its grain will begin to starve and:
Quote
“Hunger in less developed countries readily leads to social unrest, bread riots, and revolutions,” the CAPI report says. “The terrible irony is that the food security issues — already in existence but further sparked by the Ukrainian invasion — could spark further secondary conflicts in the Middle East, North Africa, and elsewhere
Meanwhile the U.S. has converted over half of its farmland in 1981 from wheat to corn just to produce ethanol as mandated by our insane government. Even if we suddenly reversed this policy, as we should forthwith but we won’t, it would take years to ramp up production and we still haven’t solved our own internal logistics and labor problems caused by two years of lockdowns.
Quote
It’s becoming more apparent by the day that this unfolding disaster has joined the global pandemic as defining moments in modern human history. The world is staring at serious grain supply shocks for which there is no easy remedy. The only certainty is that the situation will get much, much worse if Putin wins because it will cause further instability.
The path to increased production elsewhere to make up for what is being lost in Ukraine and withheld by Russia is a long one that is fraught with complications. It takes time to push into production arable land that has been idled (usually because it’s environmentally fragile or not very productive) or lands that are not yet developed.
https://www.manitobacooperator.ca/comment/comment-big-little-decisions-are-needed-to-address-growing-global-food-insecurity/
Now, all of that doesn’t even address issues of Finland, NATO, Transnistria, etc. As long a the U.S. appears weak (Biden et al) Putin is going to continue. I do NOT feel confident Putin isn’t crazy enough to engage a NATO nation. Ukraine is now firing missiles inside Russian territory and attacking fuel and ammo depots. Although Ukraine is not a NATO nation, Putin equates Ukraine with the NATO threat and now Russian soil is under attack. There is a real danger this war will spread. The first inch of NATO land touched and we’re on! How long will the U.S. stay out of the European conflagration this time, and how long will everyone refrain from going nuclear?
The MIC is playing with fire. There were two ways to avoid this. Keep Trump in the WH and Putin never would have dared. Or, Zelensky let Putin have Ukraine from the start and it will become Russian but the infrastructure and food production will remain intact instead of the devastation we see now. The problem is that second option never existed because of the will of the Ukrainian people who understandably didn’t accept Putin’s dictatorship. I’d have fought him to the death too.
So here we are, heading towards a global disaster that will make the first and second world wars look like a picnic in the park. The money the MIC generates for themselves and their corrupt politicians will do them little good as they die in the nuclear winter.

The only way this escalates to nuclear war is if Putin believes he can win it. Right now, spineless US leadership is making that more likely by try to calm down the situation, not less. A nuclear war will start because of US weakness and right now we have that in spades.
To prevent it, Putin needs to be reminded clearly and forcefully that the US policy on nuclear weapons is that they are unacceptable and we will respond to their use with nuclear weapons. If that means destroying the entire world, including Russia and having Putin die in a nuclear fireball, then that is what he will force on us. Our position should be laid out in such uncertain terms that there is no way Putin would say "Nah, they don't really mean it". Right now, he's thinking Biden doesn't have the balls to order a strike.

There’s not just one grift, there are many.
You are correct, on the weapons that money stays here to feed the MIC, who in turn pay off politicians.
Another grift is say, $1 million for Ukraine aid. Someone must administer that “aid” so a contractor is set up, usually in the US. Funds are transferred to the contractor, and maybe 10% makes it to Ukraine. The contractor then pays off the politicians. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.
Another grift is the contractor is on Ukraine, or another shithole. Money goes in, a few pennies go out and the rest makes it back to the US.

Quote
It is unknown how much more American taxpayer dollars will go to Ukraine as the war continues. One thing is certain, the American people has begun to feel as though Biden cares more for Ukraine than his own nation. Billions of dollars in aid continue to flow while Americans are still facing record inflation, high gas prices, food shortages and more.

I don’t think it’s much as blackmail, I see it as furthering the family business. The Chinese oil sale has a company that Hunter is involved in, and we all know of Hunter’s business dealings in Ukraine.
What does the family hold in Pfizer and Moderna?
At what point does Hunter become a billionaire?

These people should be held accountable by an honest, unbiased Media that doesn't constantly promote the Woke, Racist, Feminazi, LGBTqxz anti White male agenda.

With all the money pouring in to Ukraine, the oil money coming from the sell of oil to China, the chinese companies that produce equipment for green energy, his Russian business dealings and so on, the amount of money pouring in (and under the table, no taxes) he must be getting close.

I'm waiting to see when Hunter crosses over the threshold to become a billionaire.Plus all the money he gets from his "art" from "anonymous" buyers.

Is this real?
https://twitter.com/terminalcwo/status/1562818637282840577
Yes it is.
For 5 plus decades the pentagon published a yearly paper detailing US military arms, ammunition, assets, etc. Starting with the Biden Regime this has been stopped.
Ask yourself why? FJB left billions of dollars worth of military hardware in Afghanistan. He’s now spending billions to send arms to Ukraine, yet no one can account to where all of this is going once it leaves the US or point of departure. And our feckless congress won’t demand accountability.
Wake up folks. Someone, somewhere is getting armed to the teeth. Add in the millions of military aged men crossing our border, and being quietly dispersed through the US. And just for giggles, look at how our military is being gutted and reduced.
And does anyone wonder why the democrat communist are frothing at the mouth to disarm citizens?
Please, sit there and smirk while thinking “conspiracy theory”. If you do think that, you aren’t paying attention.
