Ukraine DESTROYS 3 Major Russian Oil Facilities; Putin LASHES Out | Breaking News With The Enforcer The Enforcer Jun 20, 2024 4:00 p.m. EDT 11:21 Minutes
Today, we learn that Ukraine hit three oil depot/refineries in Russia overnight. Ukrainian attack drones successfully struck a Russian Lukoil oil depot in Krasnodar Krai this morning, setting the facility ablaze.
We also learn that South Korea has begun considering sending arms and military aid to Ukraine in an unprecedented move. As a result of North Korea's new defensive pact, the South Koreans are becoming concerned of the possibility of war breaking out on the Korean Peninsula.
We have also heard that Russia is considering changing its nuclear doctrine from defensive to a "first-strike" doctrine. Putin continues to escalate the war in Ukraine as tensions continue to rise around the world.
You know, if you ever realize, that's also how I see your posts here, that would be a beginning of wisdom, wouldn't it?
By historical definitions, "fascism" is a mixed socialist/capitalist economy but directed by government industrial policies and ruled by an authoritarian dictator.
That's exactly what Russia is today.
The slide from fascism into Old Soviet communism is simply a matter of government nationalizing more and more private industries until, for practical purposes, there is no more capitalism -- voila, communism in all but name, until they change the name.
“You know, if you ever realize, that’s also how I see your posts here, that would be a beginning of wisdom, wouldn’t it?”
Absolute Truth
Perhaps, Romans 11:8 is applicable: “but the others were hardened.”
“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that could not see
and ears that could not hear,
to this very day.”
Yuh. Explain how you’ll stop the conflict. While you’re at it, play poker and show everyone your hand from the getgo, and if you’re having a love affair, kiss, and tell everyone your intentions and whom you have kissed.
“A wise man knows everything that he says, and doesn’t say everything that he knows. A fool says everything that he knows, and doesn’t know everything that he says.” -Yiddish proverb
They need to unlearn that habit if they are to get along with the West, but I won't hold my breath. ... It does help explain their recent behaviour, though.
We in the West need to absorb the fact that Russia is an alien culture. Not like us at all. Thinking that they are just makes for trouble.
I was once told by a colleague who spent several years in China that there is no word for "ethics" in Mandarin. I wonder if that's true in Russian as well.
I like your word “fisking” — it’s new to me and I had to look it up.
Turns out, apparently, “fisking” is what I’ve been doing here all these years.
So, in that spirit, I’ll go to work on Red6’s latest stinking pile of horse manure.

FISKING | definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary
the act of making an argument seem wrong or stupid by showing the mistakes in each of its points, or an instance of doing this:.
We get you and your fellow Zeepers are triggered this morning.
Your Ukie loving President(Biden) looked like death warmed over.
Trump said he will end that Ruzzian/Ukie War. And he will.
No one has us beat when it comes to the expanse of ones sphere of influence and sense of entitlement: https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/monroe-doctrine
We see, in various ways (because a sphere of influence can be political, economic or militarily), the entire Central and South America, Pacific Rim, NATO alliance, parts of North Africa, most of the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Israel, now Iraq and Syria which we invaded and occupy), as our “sphere of influence.”
This is us: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/vwc2uv/us_military_bases_around_the_world/#lightbox
Since 1991:
—We have troops in more nations than any other country. Here’s a nice visual of where our bases are: https://worldbeyondwar.org/no-bases/
—We have more troops outside our border than any other country.
—We occupy (flat out occupation) more countries than any other nation.
—We have invaded more countries, than any other nation.
—We have attacked more countries than any other nation.
—We export more arms, than any other nation.
—We provide more military assistance to others than any other nation.
—We spend more on defense, than any other nation.
—We have more people employed in the war industrial base than any other nation.
—We have sponsored more coups, than any other nation.
—We have one of the largest military’s in terms of manpower, larger than Russia (even with their partial mobilization for war).
—We use more mercenaries around the world and spend more money on these than any other nation.
—We have dropped more tonnage in terms of bombs than any other nation.
Since 1775: https://vividmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/war_conflicts-1.jpg
And then we talk about “peace.” Because we’re so peace loving!
We are the ones expanding NATO Eastward.
We are the ones that overthrew a government in Ukraine (Maiden) and put ourselves in charge.
And then you want to talk about how Russia has no right to a “spheres of influence?”
Are you being funny?
Not necessary. They all know their own names.
The important fact they continuously and purposely avoid is that Russia aligned with Iran, especially in Syria, providing troops on the Golan border and the air defense systems that failed to prevent IDF F 35’s from killing a number of ranking Iranian officers at numerous locations.
Further Iran is at war with Israel via the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist surrogates.
Support for Russia is thereby support for Iran and for the terrorists at war with Israel.
Perhaps most important, support for Russia is support for Iran that is the Houthi in Yemen. That is the same Houthi currently attempting to kill American Sailors in US Navy vessels in the Red Sea.
Support for the Houthi no matter how distant can be called treason. Perhaps, it is Freezan
Yep…you can always tell when something is threatening the Zelensky gravy train. The zeepers come out screeching in droves, posting giant walls of text and slinging lots of insults and false accusations.
This time, it’s Biden’s abysmal performance last night. They know Trump won’t play Biden’s game of shoving billions of unaudited dollars to Zelensky every time he demands it.
The zeepers are in quite a tizzy this morning.
For sure.
We thought you were.
The problem with Russia is they want everywhere to be their sphere of influcence. And they want all of Europe to be their sphere of control. Putin is still operating as if Alexander Dugan is actually his brain.
Let’s no blame it all on Dugin. Ivan Ilyin and this cat Gumilev that I’m reading about have had their innings.
You guys lost if in the debate last night, are you all doing ok?
You are batcrap crazy if you believe the Russians have suffered more war dead than the Ukraine. The Russians have every advantage plus the war is being fought IN THE ZUKRAINE.

“Sadly, some are obsessed with Putin”
“Sadly, some are obsessed with Putin”<<<<<
Zeepers' obsession with Putin and other pathological behaviors can be attributed to their constant consumption of the hallucinogenic, Ukropium, known to be 10+ times more powerful than LSD.
