Yo momma didn’t think so.
“Russia has incentivized Ukraine to seek protection under the NATO umbrella. If Russia wants to keep Ukraine out of NATO then let them offer to withdraw from Ukraine in return for Ukrainian neutrality. I am sure that Ukraine would agree in a heartbeat.”
Putin already made clear that he wants nothing less than the unconditional surrender of Ukraine and annexation by Russia.
There will not be any peace any time soon.
Alex Jones sells alarmism; it’s his shtick. At least Art Bell was entertaining, and everyone knew he was just putting on a show for that purpose. But, this Alex Jones guy is way out there.
We used to listen to Joe Pyne on the radio in LA (1950s and 1960s). Controversial and abrasive as hell; but that was his shtick. But he was not into fabulism and the wildest of conspiracy theories like Alex Jones spouts about.
I used to have a good friend from LA who would stop in Del Mar to pick me up when he was in town, who was frequently on the Art Bell Show.
Better hurry up and get your Alex Jones vitamins and survival kits too!
Not Mel of the Everlasting Hole fame, I hope. That episode was hilarious.
Whatever you say, grandpa.
Speaking of links. When can we expect the material you promised?
“Speaking of links. When can we expect the material you promised?”
And what material might that be, Frick?
I love surfing the reality glitch.
He was Dr. Fred Bell, he and I were both good with women and two different types so we liked to hit the bars together.
One day I made the mistake of riding with him to one of his lectures where I learned about his book telling of his space alien friend from planet something or other, in the car I made the assumption he didn’t truly believe it, and the friendship was broken.
That was actually kinda funny.
And Amazon needs to deliver.
My wife would sometimes listen to the Art Bell show because of the entertaining stories; the more far out the more she enjoyed them. Mel’s Everlasting Hole was a classic. Just hilarious.
You said Russia has lost 315,000 battlefield causalities. We’re waiting.
Try this.. Tucker intervenes Jones.. It is quite....revealing.

Art was wonderful i still think he kilt his wife tho
Every few years I would come across the show and listen for a few nights, or even a week before I would move on, what fascinated me about the Art Bell show was that no matter how ridiculous the topic, his show always sounded so credible and the guests so convincing.
I didn’t know my buddy was on it until after he had died, my buddy also sold pyramids and gold-plated pyramids to wear on your head in public, you should have heard him go on about his research and working for the Russians, the power of pyramids and so on, this was back when the power of the pyramid was a big deal, remember razor blades, fruit, sleeping under them, and such.
That’s not my number, Frick; that’s been a number reported by various sources (you can look them up on line Frick; just type “Russian Ukraine War Casualties” in your search engine). Hell, some reports are higher.
But, of course; this is a complete mystery to you because your understanding of anything military could be written on the head of the smallest gauge pin.
In any event, Frick, casualties generally mean KIA and wounded; and the number of wounded generally exceeds the number of KIA in the vast majority of cases. For instance, in Vietnam the US military had a Wounded-to-KIA ratio of about 4.5/1. Assuming, arguendo, that Russia’s losses have a comparable ratio, a total casualty number of 315,000 would equate to 57,272 KIA and 257,727.
That is very plausible.
But, Frick, neither side is publishing its casualty numbers, at least not with any accuracy. That is actually common. Thus, Frick, analysts extrapolate data to arrive at a projection.
Again, Frick, this stuff is mysterious to you; so I don’t expect you to be able to follow it.
That was indeed your #, sans a link.
