On the off chance you might encounter people who don't understand why George Soros and Monsanto might want the Ukraine....
The official title of the tsars was "Tsar of all the Russias", meaning primarily 'Great Russia' (Russia), 'White Russia' (Belorus), and 'Little Russia' (Ukraine). That is the heart of the Slavic Orthodox world and Ukraine is the breadbasket of that world. The Ukraine could feed everybody from the Volga to the Atlantic and that in fact was Hitler's plan; the idea was to build a super-gauge train to haul foodstuffs from Ukraine to Europe and, as I read it at least, to get Western Europe pretty much out of the food business altogether.

Early plans for routes considered India and Vladivostok as the ultimate goals of the railways, but by 1943 the planning was focused exclusively on European cities.[1] Ukraine and the Volga Basin were seen as especially important targets, as these areas were viewed as the future granaries of the Nazi empire,[1] potentially through the "settlement strings". orSiedlungsperlen of the proposed Wehrbauer settlements within the conquered Lebensraum territories, which would also be linked by the planned easternmost reaches of theReichsautobahn freeway network.[5]
I too have been mentioning the “Holomodor” quite often today. I wonder if Putin succeeds, will plan another mass starvation of the Ukranians?
We agree to disagree, from Ash to willie green you get rid of the opposing voices and all you are left with are five variations of consrvative thought which differ on a scale of Ash to Jim himself. Frankly Scarlett I always enjoyed mixing it up a bit, even though we didn’t make any converts. Sort of like the main stream media bill to get rid of conservative thought on radio.
Fascinating! I did NOT know that Cyrillic characters had different sounds based on country localization!

“(Whatever you do, do NOT, repeat NOT mention that obama has cut off all federal water from the farmers in California’s Central Valley, America’s vegetable garden, former grower of, among so much other abundance, 90% of the world’s almonds)...”
I was thinking his refusal was do to wanting to increase the cost of foods (creating inflation while having the increased costs to consumers hidden from the government-calculated inflation rate). This would be an even more diabolical approach.
Not so much. The entire effect of the entire v2 rocket program was roughly equal to one 1000 bomber raid of the 8th Air Force. We could do weekly what the nazi rocketeers did the entire war.
The V2 is one of the few weapons that killed more people building it than in wartime use.
I just got to do it for old times sake...you know he checks in from time to time.

If the EU takes over wonder if they plan another Babi yar Jew extermination? Its even more recent than holomodor. Or another Cyprus haircut, ,, that’s right up to date.
He might have beaten Al Gore to inventing the internet.
Hitler was a technical illiterate fascinated by the fruits of technology he never really understood and upon which he made sweeping generalizations and pronouncements, while loathing and envying its creators. If he were alive today and living in Wisconsin, he’d be on the liberal arts faculty of a third rate community college and a Democratic Party activist.
There are practical reasons railroads are the size they are. Hitler seemed to have a preoccupation with giganticism, perhaps to compensate for personal deficiencies. There is a difference between being a visionary (Steve Jobs) and a meglomanica ( A. Hitler, B. Obama).
Monsanto is the very image of crony capitalism. The use laws and regulators to make a favorable business climate for them and their products and to push out their competition. They try to force their products on consumers and keep people from learning about what is in their food- if you truly make a good product you teach people about it, not hide it from them. They use litigation to force farmers who don’t use their seed to pay them anyway and invented the terminator lines to prevent farmers from saving seed to use for future years to create an annual dependence on their products. This has been especially devastating to farmers in 3rd world countries who don’t have the means to buy seed every year.
My grandfather worked as a chemist for Monsanto for 35 years before retiring in the late 80s. He says he saw the direction they were going toward the end and hated it. He has no respect for what the company he spent his whole career building has become.
The V-1 and V-2 "reprisal weapons" cost a total of about $3 billion to build and were thus more costly than the Manhattan Project ($1.8 billion). 6,048 V-2s were built, at a cost of approx. RM 100,000 each, and 3,225 were launched. Most of the launched rockets carried a warhead consisting of 738 kg of Amatol.
For comparison: In a single 24-hour period during Operation Hurricane, the RAF dropped over 10,000 metric tons of bombs on Braunschweig and Duisburg, roughly equivalent to the amount of explosives that could be delivered by 10,000 V-2 rockets.

Hitler liked his toys really, really big. Look up the “Maus” tank.
Do you recall, Mr. Joe 6-pack, what happened on that warm September evening when you collaborated with another member in the use of flagrant puns, which resulted in the high jacking of a thread?
OH... Never mind! :-D
It was rather spicy as I seem to recall ;-)
You was savory, honey, sesame! Tarragon, but not forgotten. :-*
