“Russia was going to have to be stopped by somebody, at some point — the sooner the better. Remember Neville Chamberlain.”

The mad plutocrats of Davos are going to have to be stopped by somebody, at some point—the sooner the better.

Remember Neville Chamberlain.

Exactly, make no mistake, this war is senile Joe’s war. He sucked everyone in ( like the Covid vax scam) again.

Disavow EVERYTHING senile Joe supports, there is nothing clean and righteous about him.

The mad plutocrats of Davos... aren’t shelling villages, towns and cities, sending tanks into other peoples’ countries.

It’s weird to see so many “conservatives” on Russia’s side. The war has clearly gone much worse for Russia than it had planned, and I’m glad that Western aid to Ukraine has played a role in that. Russia intended to take Kiev and other major cities. That’s not happening.

These pathetic Free Republic wankers have been so psychically abused by Klaus Schwab and Globalism, that they seek refuge in Putinism. Vlad is their savior and their answer.

“It isn’t weird. It’s disgusting”.

Did we pick up some Russian “bots” with THE STEAL?

Those “objectives” are what he fell back on to save face after it didn’t work out. It’s no obvious that it’s not even worth discussing

And in doing so are actively supporting genocide, which is horrible if the group concerned are Jews, but if they are Ukrainian, its something to be supportive about:

The Orcs have forcibly taken 180,000 Ukrainian children into Russia.

Russia is in official violation of Article 2 and 3 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG):
Article 2 of the Convention defines genocide as
... any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Article 3 defines the crimes that can be punished under the convention:
(a) Genocide;
(b) Conspiracy to commit genocide;
(c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide;
(d) Attempt to commit genocide;
(e) Complicity in genocide.

How about being on the side of truth? I’m of German heritage but that doesn’t oblige me to defend Hitler and the Third Reich. The same applies here. As a “westerner” or an “American” (in its current rudderless interregnum), don’t assume your identity group is fighting the good fight. Country and party are mostly window dressing anyway, as you’re owned by WEF, Davos, Soros, Big tech, the central banks and the deep state- a club of less than a thousand elites. Literally the only civilization left today that’s free of that ownership is present day Russia, largely due to Putin reviving the country and modernizing their nuclear deterrent. Under sellouts Gorby and Yeltsin the plan for Russia was to liquidate it and sell off the assets and had that happened the world would be truly screwed. This war isn’t about Ukraine, it’s about the ultimate defeat of the EU, NATO and the western elite slavers.

I don’t believe they wanted to take Kiev...They did just what they wanted to do...Make Ukraine use their forces to protect that flank...while Russia is escalating along the eastern coast.

Once Donbas falls, Mr. Z. will make peace rather that risk losing Odessa and his window on the Black Sea. Once the peace talks start we will begin to learn the Truth and so will the people of Ukraine and Russia. Donbas will join the Russian Federation and the troops will come home to a big party. In time—not Long Really—Putin will be dead and buried next to the Kremlin Wall or some other honored place—the new lands his gift to Russia—his lasting Legacy.

Russia’s military appears to have found a way to advance in the Donbas – pounding it with such intense, unsophisticated artillery that Ukraine’s exhausted defenders are having to yield.

Shades of World War I!

But Zelensky has captured Moscow and Putin is dying of cancer in his bunker! Oh, the humanity!

Protecting Saint Zelenskyy's piano is Kiev was more important than the port of Odessa...

Ten wars, 6 million deaths, 0 sanctions

That’s also true. But Putin running amok in Europe would not help the cause of liberty in the West.

And what your observation has to do with the point of my post is what, exactly?

If the photo is manipulated, then there weren't ten wars, millions of deaths and no sanctions on those people?
