John Adams

By the way, who is this lady? Does she matter in the news?

I found it. These two approaches to an evil man are so similar.

Russian leaders have a tendency to exit stage left in this fashion and I suspect it's never been more likely. You think these guys want to be locked out of the rest of the world? You think you get ***** at home from your wife and kids. Imagine those guys. "Andrei, you better get this fixed before my cruise to Monte Carlo or else."

So you just complain. Got it. Thanks for confirming. Well handled? Again, what would you have done? You said that we should have done something in response to the weapons build up by Putin. - Ship weapons to Ukraine? Would have given Putin a reason to invade. - Forbid Ukraine from joining NATO in response to Putin bullying? Disagree. Don't we want countries to be worthy of NATO membership? (And no, Ukraine though currently in vogue is NOT a model democracy and was not anywhere near being ready to join NATO.) So that's no good. - Share intel with Ukraine and others. Seems like we did. I think Biden might be the second worst president in my lifetime but I put the blame for this not on the US and NATO. Sanction Russia, support Ukraine (intel, supplies) is about all we can do to walk the line. Putin started it. In reality, the only way he stops it is if the grind hurts too much. The grind will take a lot more than 4 days unless he gets pressure from within or Operation Valykried.

You have now 3 times complained about what the free world is doing in response to this attack. What is it you want NATO and the free world to do when a non-NATO country is attacked? Stop dodging the question or stop complaining. If you're going to say Biden and others are doing the wrong things in response to the attack, propose the alternative improved solution. Or is your armchair too cozy on this Monday morning?

That's not an answer though. "Take it seriously" how? If the US shipped a bunch of weapons to Ukraine a month ago, you'd have been here saying that we're trying to provoke a war. And don't you dare deny it. Ask again: You are criticizing our response right now. What do you want the US to do right now? An article on the effect of the sanctions on the Russian economy. Significant, but will it bring about change? O'Brien is not sure but again, what the world is doing is not a small thing and those $630B reserves might not go as far as Putin thinks (and might be already cut by 2/3). https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-02-28/russian-attack-on-ukraine-west-weaponizes-central-bank-against-putin

Tanking their economy is not a small thing. What would you have the US do? Not asking snarkily but seriously. We have given Ukraine a billion dolalrs in the last year and 385M this past weekend. Do you want us to start WW3 by controlling the air space?

Anyone who thinks Kyiv is somehow going to remain in control of Ukraine might want to rethink things. The real question is what Kyiv will be like once the tanks roll in and the Russian flag is flying. Looks like North Korea for the General Flynn/Tulsi Gabbard talking points.

Ah yes, this is NATO's fault. We made Ukraine start this war. Just needed to quote this for posterity. You are nucking futs. So what? You want us to drive our military in to start WW3? Since we're having the conversation here, I'll ask it again here. Can someone link me to the speech where Churchill called Hitler savvy and a genius?

If this goes anywhere and I'm doubtful, the head of the Russian delegation is Vladimir Medinsky. He recently said that the creation of Ukraine was a phantom and has been involved in rewriting history with the Russian Ministry of Culture. Sounds like just the right guy to move things towards peace.

I don't know that he asked for nukes. Seems like he will allow Russia to position nukes there. Not good news either way but it's an important difference--There is not a new nuclear power.

That's fair. I don't take threads Tibs starts seriously--bad enough I'm in this one!

Telling you what I donated to is...not virtue signaling? Got it. Cuckoo. Going to say anything about Kharkiv or is that all 2014 footage? MSM hype?

Can someone who knows history better than me remind me. Where's the speech when Churchill called Hitler a genius and savvy? Just shoot a link in this thread.

Why are you so obsessed making this into more infighting? There's a bad guy here. Thoughts on what's happening right now in Kharkiv?

Sounds like a certain poster on a hot streak here!

You're on about post 6 in a row. Don't see much anti-Russia energy from you Comrade. Just the old Deep State talking points. "The photos are all from 2014." "Russia has more basis to do this attack than you think." "This will be the end of the USD." Is Epstein in there too? Someone posted about him upthread. Nope. I am fine separating the wheat from the chaff. Plenty of overhyped BS on Twitter. Guess what: No one narrative is whatever you think is "the truth." But especially not yours! No *****, Yuri.

Defend Russia Comrade. You make Putin proud! I can keep the global picture in mind without believing your Russian apologist crypto narrative. China may move on Taiwan but may not. The idea that China could somehow replace the NATO countries with a trading block with Russia is laughable. China has a lot to lose with the NATO countries this united.

Ruble down almost 30% TODAY. RU interest rates doubled from 9.8 to 20% TODAY. Comrade SCBills: Banning Russian from Swift will ruin the dollar! Welcome to the wet dreams of the crypto cult.

I was wondering how your crowd would start spinning a dictator’s war into anti American sentiment and scare tactics. Thank you for being the poster to amplify the message Comrade. ***** you Russian warship. Go find Tulsi Gabbard if you want more of that.

No reports of shelling tonight. Wonder why. Try not to be a dipshit. In war people have been known to do bad things. Keep up the pro Russia work Comrade.

Lots more footage than that out there but you are a Russian apologist. Don’t expect you to see it.

So we're supposed to spend a lot of time considering that Ukraine is run by drug crazed neo-Nazis? Keeping in mind that Zelensky is Jewish? No need to bend over backwards to accept Putin's version of this. He invaded Ukraine without basis. He is rattling the nuclear saber. The best way this ends is with a successful Operation Valykrie.

There are racist #######s everywhere. We had Congresspeople at a racist event this weekend too. It's terrible, is that your point? Do you think quoting ignorant and irrelevant Tweets is important for the discussion? The Epstein-obsessed contingent left this board and created their own hidden site. We're left with a different flavor of dipshit. This "seems" like big news but it's unclear to me who is going to fly these planes.
