What happened to that joystick remote weapon systems flown by some 20 year old gamer soldier on a satellite link while she sits at a desk in Bethesda Maryland?

Again, why lose a critical industry and an entire city into rubble when it doesn't have to happen? We are treating Putin the same as smash and grab thugs in California's jewelry store districts.

No, you see, everything is propaganda. Except for the propaganda issued by Russia’s ministry of propaganda. That is unbiased and unimpeachable fact.

Agreed. One thing we should have learned from 9/11 is that failing to respond accordingly to embassy attacks taught the death-to-america crowd to perceive us as a paper tiger.

Every time one of our embassies is attacked we should attack back, even if it means just firing into the mob that hurled a molotov cocktail at us.

Stories are posted from MSM and you guys point at it and scream. Stuff is posted from government sources..and you guys point at it and scream. Stuff is pointed from “think tanks” and you point and scream. Well respected blogs are posted and you point and scream.
***Well said. And they never offer a counter-source. Some sort of mythical source of information they get their data from but they can’t tell you. It’s essentially the classic fallacy of an argument from silence.

That was my prediction at the beginning of this. But there’s evidence that the ukes are building nukes. They certainly view this as an existential war. We built our nukes to end our existential war.

“China probably has far higher estimation of themselves than their ally to the West.”

That would be one hell of a fatal miscalculation.

Probably because this is the first time Russian ships stopped somewhere close enough to reach.

The javelin has 2 warheads. The 1st defeats the reactive armor and the 2nd is a charge that explodes over the turret. BOOM, you’re dead.

I’ve been quiet about this whole thing…but….it seems to me the only ones who come out ahead no matter who “wins” is Biden and China so “Chiden.”

“But regardless of if Russia achieves its military objectives in the country, it has already lost in nearly every conceivable way. “

The stupidest sh!t I’ve read in months.

We lost a 20 year war to goat herders.
***Baloney. We have consistently lost every nation building exercise except for Germany & Japan. Unfortunately the State Dept. uses that massive spending approach towards every conflict on the globe.

We need to implement the emBASEee strategee

The Euroweenies are refusing to pay in rubles. They’re setting up alternative sources of supply from the US, Qatar and Algeria.

With a GDP equal to that of Australia, Russia needs to come to terms with the fact that it is no longer a great power.

I do not disagree that NATO encroachment as well as our neocon state department and intel agencies (with Soros) screwed the pooch in Ukraine.

The tragedy is that Putin had likely made his point and achieved his objective regarding NATO expansion BUT our state dept and the globalist were going to continue to screw around in the Ukraine.

There is much blame to go around and most of it lies at Putin’s feet but the West bears some of the blame for all the suffering and chaos too.

Bush Sr. was right when he warned about us screwing around in Ukraine. It should have always been a buffer state that was neutral. I sure bet many of them wish that were the situation now!

Russian speakers aren't "ethnic Russians": they're indistinguishable from the rest of the population. Even Zelensky (born in the eastern part of the country) speaks in Russian. There are ethnic Ukrainains in the west who speak Ukrainian and many of whom belong to the Uniate church.

But almost all the Russian speakers now have no interest in being politically aligned with Moscow.

“We should go into Russia and kill the commie bastards so we don’t have to deal with them in the future.” ~Patton

Almost tagline worthy. I would update the tagline page but this one gets cut off:

“We should go into Russia and kill the commie bastards so we don’t have to deal with them in the fu

How about

“We’d go into Russia & kill the commie bastards so we don’t have to deal with them in the future.” ~Patton

BTW, do you have a source for that quote?
