This global warming thing is all so bizarre. It only benefits the filthy rich, soon the world will be their oyster and average Joes will be like dogs in the pound.

They don't need any of us peasant scum to run their personal pleasure planet.

They just need a relatively small staff.

If we all went away tomorrow, it wouldn't affect them much - except that they would have to worry less about their personal security.

Biden is an albatross. Nobody wants to associate with him - obviously afraid the stench of failure will rub off. Even Stacy Abrams spurned him.

The Bidet never learned that building a base of common ground to advance a point is important. Recall back to his famous line during the campaign: I told him he had to stop the investigation before I left or their money would not be coming (Irony it was Ukraine). A blabbermouth bully. Works when in full command, works when you lead you party to ostracize a SC during the appointment process. Does not work when you out of the blue threaten nuke war near someone elses country or where you have a history of leaving your partners high and dry. I hope someone puts a muzzle on him and locks him in a room away from the war hawks.

“... WE LEFT AMERICANS STRANDED IN AFGHANISTAN....”

and we also left many Europeans stranded in Afghanistan. All of those countries, including Germany have horror stories to tell. No one trusts Biden.

Germany will not join in any war against Russia, nor will it allow its territory to be used to launch any strikes against Russian targets. Russia is looked upon more favorably in Germany than the U.S. is.

Germany and Russia want to team up against Poland again.

“Germany and Russia want to team up against Poland again.”

Yup, they are probably getting ready to sign Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact Redux this very moment.

You are very much correct. Also I push comes to shove France will back down, content to defend their country and only their country. Meanwhile the Soviet Union completes its “resurrection” from the dead (it wasn’t really dead, only in hibernation).

[redgolum]

Probably correct

“For any FReepers with friends or family in the region. Get out. Go west. Like France or Spain.”

LOL !

[redgolum]

That isn’t a joke.

A “proxy” war is getting ready to be fought on the soil of Ukraine.

This is how a lot of bad things and interesting history starts.

And eastern Spain is quite nice this time of year.

“A “proxy” war is getting ready to be fought on the soil of Ukraine.”

It’s been in progress since 2014.
