Russian “POW” trucks on the move. “Z” markings.

Lookner is enjoyable. I believe he simultaneously stresms via Twitch.com, but I think they’re owned or allied to Amazon.

“Hopefully you don’t drive far, this could last a year.”

Nope. A couple miles down the road, that’s all.

“Russia wants one thing. The disbandment of NATO. Ukraine is only the first domino.”

No, Russia knows it’s not going to completely dissolve NATO. But what it wants to do is get NATO to remove all defensive weapons systems from the former Warsaw Pact countries that are now in NATO; then it will demand that those former Warsaw Pact countries are dropped from NATO.

What are you saying?

Russia is invading Ukraine and Biden and Harris are in charge.

Head in sand is not a good look.

How would this help Biden?
Who do you personally know that truly gives a shit about Russia or Ukraine?

I am blessed to work from home and only needing to go to the office downtown for big events or preparation for big events every other month or so. Other people deal with the daily grind. Unfortunately, sometimes I have to drive 2 or 3 hours to other counties when big events occur.

Russia does this every year. Its a wargame. A pretend wargame, much like the U.S. does in rural Carolinas.

Are you not paying attention?

Let me help you out: banned.video or infowars.com.

Wake up.

I liked him until his agenda went anti-Trump regarding Trump’s handling of COVID...Seemed he wanted longer lockdowns, etc...in Spring 2020...He was not agenda-free :(

Is he better now?

This is very different. All Russian diplomats are out. Tanks, air defenses and Russian national guard deployed. This is a well planned invasion. No signs it will cool off. Only escalation so far. Biden is f’d because diplomatic options won’t work.

He seems okay now, though I did not catch his Covid episodes. A shame to hear that.

Biden just conceded the fall of Ukraine. Said he would only defend NATO countries.

You Gentlemen are most likely correct, Ambassador Nomura was probably played by Dishonorable Japanese in the Japanese Government.

However the point remains that the Japanese were and acted in a Dishonorable Way as Diplomats and Statesmen.

It is always good to remember that Diplomacy and Statesmanship can be Honorable or Dishonorable, ...

.

by either side, and we must be on the alert for both.

Gee, if we could get that done, maybe we could move on to disband the UN and free up a lot of parking spaces for New Yorkers.

Then we could sit back and laugh at the EU antics, it'd be fun!

I think it’s all actually very simple. What Putin wants is a guarantee that Ukraine, at least the main part of it, will never join NATO.

I think it’s a deal Trump would make, in exchange for Putin recognizing NATO’s legitimacy in the countries where it already is in, plus allowing Western Ukraine to decide whether it breaks away and is eligible to join NATO.

I don’t see Putin really wanting more than that. He doesn’t want Poland or even the Baltics, as some suggest. But to him, and indeed for many Russians, Ukraine is the hill to die on.
