He made some sound points but lost me when he made the case that everyone in the international community agrees that China and Taiwan are one and that Chinese provocations are not provocations because of that.

The one China policy is a fig-leaf covering up our absolute non-agreement that mainland China owns Taiwan.

But Smerconish is an ... censored ... so I did enjoy watching Rodger Waters tell him to go educate himself.

I actually am probably one of the few that actually doesn’t hate “The Final Cut”, it’s grown on me over the years. But it’s really a not a PF album. They would have been better off doing “The Pros and Cons of Hitchiking” as was the original plan, but after the Belgano sank, Roger had other ideas, he wanted to “stick it” to Maggie.

He didn’t make an sense at all.
Russia invaded Ukraine. No one made them do it. Poland is a member of NATO and on the Russian border.

Oh, please. His antisemitism and his support of Russian aggression are of a piece.

Yes, I agree except for the disconnect of logic on China.

But didn’t the WH say it did not support Taiwan’s independence?

Ukraine ping

Roger Waters the Jew-hater also loves Russians (who ensured the wide dissemination of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion) and hates Ukrainians. I have a feeling his primary love is for the Russian empire.

Will the day ever come when the Russian pawns and sympathizers in the West are viewed with the contempt everyone has for Nazi pawns and sympathizers?

Some people in the West were dazzled by the ideological clothing with which the Soviets dressed up traditional Russian Imperialism but fundamentally nothing has changed from the Czars to Stalin to Putin – Russian rulers see it as their mission to expand the zone of Russian territory and Russian controlled puppet states as far as possible.

Similarly, Putin dresses up his imperial ambitions as fighting for the white race (but somehow simultaneously fighting against Nazism) and against globohomoism but same thing – it’s just a costume he wears to fool gullible people in the West.

Putin just spent the last 20 years beating it into ordinary Russians that they should stay as far away from “politics” as possible and leave the ruling to Putin, using both the carrot and the stick. You just go about your business and leave the politics to us and things will be great for you. You’ll be able to afford that package tour to Europe and that new smartphone. If OTOH you try to mess with politics, well bad things could happen to you and your family. You might be poisoned or set to prison on trumped up charges. For the most part, this succeeded extremely well – basically you had to be nuts to try to oppose the regime. Most sane people got the message and chose the easy life. If it really bothered you, well it was not like the old days. You could just get on a plane any day of the week and move to Latvia or Georgia. People even learned to love Big Brother who was advertised every day on the TV like toothpaste – new improved Putin, now with more macho!

Well, the chickens have now come home to roost. Maybe Putin at one time actually did care for ordinary Russians and not just for his gang, but as he has gotten closer to old age and death he started worrying about his place in the history books (he had more billions than he could ever spend in his remaining years – there was no point in stealing any more money at this stage in life). No one will remember the tens of thousands of Private Oseyev’s killed in the assault on Kiev, but they will put Tsar Putin right next to Peter the Great.

Maybe Private Oseyev’s family now wishes that they had gotten involved in “politics” earlier (the Putin thugs could beat up a few individuals but could they have beaten millions? – Solzhenitsyn had the same thought) but it’s too late now.

I liked Pink Floyd back in the day and listened to a lot of Waters’ albums, but the human being Roger Waters, the front man, is one terribly mixed up guy, and if he gets it right, it’s usually by accident. But one hell of a musician, I’ll give him that.

Most Orc loving, genocide cheering, Orc tolls on FR are routinely called out. And they do not like it one bit,

The Russian government has declared a return to the good old days of the Soviet Economy, gone are the Western corporations that used to make life better, replaced by Chinese state owned corporations with the cheapest possible replacement product.

The good life will not return for 40 years they also announced. So from now on workers will pretend to work, and the government will pretend to pay them.

All I know is the Biden occupation has to be removed from power before they start WW3. I don’t feel like wearing a radiation suit all the time.

Just another voice. I liked some of his music. Aside from that, I don’t really care what he thinks.
