Interesting, now you're about freedom? There has to be some internal conflict with that notion? Why are we the only country in the world that has a problem with being a sovereign nation? I'm all for lending a hand to other struggling countries, when we have our own affairs in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness Biden was president when this happened You’re right! I’m sure without Joe at the wheel it would’ve been a major incursion instead of the minor incursion he opened the door for.

I'm all for lending a hand to other struggling countries, when we have our own affairs in order. Simply because America is unique as its both a country and a global empire. America the country is like other countries with elected representative government that serves the interests of the people and the country. But in reality, most of the representatives we elect to Washington serve the interests of the empire. The empire's objectives are simple. Maintain the current uni-polar order where the empire makes the rules and everybody else follows the rules. Address any threats to this order by whatever means are required. Countries that don't want to follow the rules are subject to political, economic, and military actions. As long as a country follows the rules it doesn't matter if its a democracy, a monarchy, or some form of an oppressive government as long as they serve the interests of the empire. While most think the empire derives its power from the military, its real power comes from the US dollar and its status as the world's reserve and trade settlement currency. And through this controls the "value" of money worldwide. When you control the value of money, you control the value of everything. Along with that it allows for the remarkable ability to run trillion dollar deficits and create billions at any whim while deflecting most of the harm and impact to others.

He was basically a suit in the Senate. Regardless, he was the main trumpeter in the support for the war, on the Democrat side, in his Senate role. Undeniable. Factual. Not subject to argument.

PetermansRedemption Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) If reports are to believed. Looks like this fiery ordeal might finally be nearing the endgame with a Ukrainian victory. Now we just have to hope Putin accepts the loss with grace and doesn’t do anything desperate.

This war should have never happened, and when it happened it should have been a comprehensive Russian victory. Putin has no one to blame for the current mess than himself and the country he's built over the last 20 years. Taking his L and cutting a deal *should* have happened months ago, when it was obvious his army and his country weren't prepared for a real war. But all he does is double down on mistakes, or try and escalate his way out of the situation. What worries me is what he does when he realizes he's flushed 20 years worth of success down the toilet in 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
