Peace through superior firepower |
Where's the evidence? At this point, I question any acccusations made by any nation or entity, with regard to this stupid-ass conflict. Let's see the evidence. Until then, Europe, Russia, the United States government, all news agencies, and everyone else with a stake in this idiocy, can just blow it out their ass. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

I have far less fear about the actual military activity, and far more about the media and government's lying and constant passing of phony info about what's going on. They're doing the Covid propaganda thing again with the American public, and a big part of that public is buying into it. I'd suggest a large part of this country are brain dead sheep, but that would really be disrespectful to brain dead sheep. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

If that were true then we would've seen a lot more action taken by now. No, whether one agrees with the conclusions drawn or not, the actions taken give every evidence of having been considered beforehand. | |||

Thank Dear God Fauci is on the back burner. I tired of that coverage also. | |||

Left-Handed, NOT Left-Winged! |
As soon as Biden was told by his handlers to declare "victory" over COVID and Nancy Pelosi dropped the House mask mandate a day or two before the SOTU, Fauci has been off the radar. Of course, this was only due to polling that people were completely fed up with all of it and it was seriously destroying any chance of keeping both houses of Congress from going Republican this fall. Just further proof that it was all for show. And by dropping all the mandates, the U.S. Freedom Convoy doesn't have much to protest in D.C. Now, investigators need to get to the bottom of Fauci's willful funding of the Wuhan lab in direct circumvention of U.S. law, and the coverup he engineered by arm twisting researchers who suspected a lab leak into publicly promoting the natural origin lie. This asshole is responsible for a lot of dead people in the world, and he deserves to pay with the rest of his life in prison. | |||

Ironic, that people invaded by a superior force that used many deadly weapons over all of their country, still manage to stand free and speak loudly. While a majority of Americans, willingly allowed themselves to be held under house arrest, feared being in public, careful of speaking out against any of it, and espousing the propaganda of it all. “It’s a great huge game of chess that’s being played—all over the world—if this is the world at all, you know.” Go ask Alice...

Noble gesture...........as we at home go without: Russia-Ukraine war: Arizona ammo company to send 1 million bullets to Ukraine An ammunition company in Scottsdale, Arizona, has pledged to send one million bullets to the Ukraine Armed Forces as Russian President Vladimir Putin continues his deadly invasion into the country. AMMO, Inc., which produces high-performance ammunition and components, will send 1 million bullets free of charge to Ukraine after Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the nation's president, issued a recent plea for additional aid. "We recognize that events are unfolding rapidly on the ground in Ukraine, and we are prepared to move quickly as possible to support Ukraine as it continues to defend itself and its freedom," Wagenhals added. One bullet produced by the company, according to Fox 10 in Phoenix, is a 7.62 and is "exactly what Ukrainian soldiers need to fight" back against Russian military forces making their way into the country. https://www.foxbusiness.com/ec...n-bullets-to-ukraine "No matter where you go - there you are" | |||

Russian citizens fleeing into Finland. Apparently over deteriorating conditions and rumors that President Putin plans to impose martial law. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_pHglSTvgbI | |||

Cue Putin threatening to invade Finland to rescue “abducted” Russian citizens from “Nazi genocide” in 3… 2… | |||

Yup. If Finland has any sense they'll refuse them entry. Moldova has an area, Transnistria, all along it's eastern border with Ukraine, dominated by ethnic Russians and occupied by Russian troops. Like Ukraine's Donbass region: Demanding independent republic status. Unlike Ukraine: Moldova is more ethnically similar to Romania then it is Russia. In fact: Moldova was once part of Romania.

Some of the actions in those videos are inspiring, and yet the last one with the unarmed civilian protester being shot, eventually followed by increasing volumes of fire without the surrounding protesters hitting the ground or running for cover is a bit head-scratching... it demonstrates both bravery and foolishness. I'm all for peaceful protests, but when the occupiers start shooting unarmed civilians it's time to seek cover, fall back to arm yourselves, and return effective fire from cover. As a separate question of mine, watching the videos of those brave protesters, I can't help but wonder just how much coverage of the war is being allowed into China. | |||

Very interesting....what's stands out, is not what's seen on the videos but, the fact that those cities in the Eastern part of the country, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Melitpol, and Mariupol, all have significant Russian populations. People that resettled there, moved for work, have family ties back to the country...yet, those city streets are alive with people pushing back against this armed force. There's no flowers and candies getting thrown at the Russian army. | |||

Over here it's deja vu all over again. The refugee movement from Ukraine to the EU is already bigger after ten days than it was from the Middle East in 2015/16, helped by geographical proximity and the fact that Ukrainians can travel into the Schengen Area visa-free for 90 days out of every half-year. Expectation is for a total of four million, about ten percent of Ukraine's population and three times the number in the previous crisis. Germany expects an eventual 225,000, about a quarter of 2015/16 since this time a lot of the stream is going to the immediate Eastern European neighbor countries and staying there. It's much more concentrated though; Berlin is already struggling with 10,000 arriving per day since this weekend, either intending to stay or travel on to elsewhere. In the last crisis, the high point for the city was a tenth of that.

The difference is though, Banshee, the Ukrainians will happily go back home once this settles down. The muslims on the other hand, well.... ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

As in all cases, some will, some won't. We've been through this multiple times in successive escalation by now. Before the Syrians, there were the refugees from the Balkan wars in the 90s (about 400,000, most returned), the East Germans in 1989 (200,000, simply Germans now of course), the Kurds, Lebanese and Vietnamese boat people in the 70s/80s (about 30,000 each, most still here) ... seems we're getting this about once per decade when someone starts a (civil) war or military coup on the European periphery, or as far away as Southeast Asia. | |||

The true risk of widespread war is that, with so much military mobilized and making war preparations, some leadership somewhere will miscalculate, or misinterpret others and spark hostilities. Looking back on history, so many conflicts have begun based upon false assumptions, understandings, or intelligence, and once the shooting starts conflict takes on a life of its own. It is so easy to slide down that slope with all that military power at hand. If the shooting starts between Russia and one of the NATO countries, will that provide the spark, or just be an "incident"? The key to avoiding a major conflagration is who is doing the calculating. Look to the leaders of the various countries concerned and ask, who is doing the calculating? Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail. CMSGT USAF (Retired) Chief of Police (Retired) | |||
