Pat Buchanan wrote a book in the 90s with an alternative view of history WRT Pearl Harbor and the events that led up to it. It was an interesting read. I don’t necessarily agree with him but there were things that he put a different light on that should be at least considered and how Roosevelt baited the Japanese, the way Blinken et.al. are baiting the Rooskies.
In any event, this will not end well for any of us.
Apparently, the Ukrainian railroads are electric.
The Russians are targeting the substations which provide the juice.
These are apparently NOT diesel-electric locomotives, and their power supply being in a fixed location is bad news for their rail transport.
You know, marktwain - I have had to go offsite to get accurate information on this conflict.
This is unusual for Free Republic.
I'm watching The Duran daily, and also the two guys who make up the Duran channel have their own separate channels.
Alex Christoforou is the younger Greek guy in Greece and Cyprus [I like his style]: https://www.youtube.com/c/AlexChristoforou/videos channel
Alexander Mercouris is the older Greek-English gentleman in England [he's a character!]: https://www.youtube.com/c/AlexanderMercourisReal/videos channel
Indeed.
We will not fight or listen to the baby womb killers in government.
We never supplied OBL
Anyway, You remark is irrelevant to my point.
Again,
Another remark irrelevant to the point.
Yes we did. He was high up in the Mujahideen.
That’s who fought the Russians.
Money, weapons, and training.
But you support the Russian govt that kills babys in the womb in Russis and out of the womb in Ukraine.
Nope. NEver happened.
Again, irrelevant.
Good question.
No, I’m done.
The new president of Afghanistan was Nur Mohammad Taraki. He claimed that its policies were based on Afghan nationalism, Islamic principles, socioeconomic justice and nonalignment with foreign powers. The new regime announced its reform programs: elimination of usury, equal rights for women, land reforms, and administrative decrees. Many in Afghanistan felt threatened by the reforms. Tensions rose. The Taraki regime began arresting opponents, and it signed a treaty of friendship with the Soviet Union. Uncoordinated rebellions arose across Afghanistan. An Afghan guerrilla movement, the Mujahideen, was born. In 1979, Leonid Brezhnev of the Soviet Union sent 80,000 military personnel into Afghanistan, telling the administration of President Jimmy Carter that he was doing so at the request of Afghanistan's government.
The Saudis, with their abundance of petro-dollars, began aiding the Mujahideen – the Saudis spending from 20 to 25 million dollars a month. Maybe as many as 2,000 Arab volunteers went to Afghanistan to fight alongside the Mujahideen – some of them released from prisons in Egypt, the Egyptian government happy to be rid of them. Some Wahhabi fundamentalists from Saudi Arabia also joined with the Mujahideen. One of them was a 25-year-old idealist named Osama bin Laden. Rather than pursue pleasure that inherited wealth had made possible for him, bin Laden was interested in advancing the cause of Islam, and, in 1982, while fighting for the Mujahideen, he was wounded in the foot.
Yeppers.
Thanks. I knew but didn’t care to waste time showing it to a blind eye.
I am astonished to see that so many people on our “side” has gone along with the mass hysteria.

Short memory, but no surprise here. The sheeple lined up for experimental jabs that didn’t work ( the Covid vax hoax) only months ago.
“I would imagine a lot of freepers are way too old to be very useful in a war.”
Hey! You aren’t supposed to make it personal! Quit looking in my window!
I must have missed that in the movie. :)
