The software bots are no doubt reading the web pages I have open.

When I went to YouTube in another page, it brought me the “Threads” bombing scene. I’d never actually watched it before.

There is a bit of language in there so be forewarned.

Didn’t Putin rehabilitate Stalin?

The RT director of broadcasting Anton Krasovsky has, recently, suggested drowning or burning Ukrainian children, plays down rapes by Russian soldiers in Ukraine, says Ukraine should not exist and Ukrainians who resist Russia should be shot.

The response from the Putin-tards is, but but but but.... veteran parades in the baltic, statues in Ukraine, phoyoshooped bracelets.

There’s a clear difference between overt enthusiasm for committing crimes against humanity NOW and in the immediate future, and remembering/celebrating the past.

All this wank about fearing resurgent Nazi Germany os classic Kremlin deflection with galactic sized hypocrisy.

The clear and present dangers are - in this order - Russia partying like it’s 1870 ALREADY but dping it with resurgent Stalinist motifs and practices, then Deep State, then China.

Germany hasn’t even got a functional equivalent to the Nazi Party yet. Even if it could happen, it won’t happen this side of 2030.

The European Union will reform. If the Warsaw Pact region combined with the Scandinavian countries and Italy are strengthened by their unity, the French/German domination of the European Union will be eroded and the “two tier” model proposed way back in the 90s may be the most viable model.

The UK could join Poland and the Scandis in that. Let western Europe be pacifist and woke, the rest of Europe can be more tight wing and more focused on defense and borders. American can then step out of the day-to-day defense of Europe.

None of that is possible if Russia’s bloodlust is encouraged. Which does make you wonder who the real deep state Soros cheerleaders are... The defenders of Ukraine, or the pro-genocide, pro-invasions, pro Cold War 2, pro neosoviet Iron Curtain, pro MIC for decades needed to manage it all...

“It’s not a bluff.” Latvian Defense Minister on the possibility of Putin using nuclear weapons

Why would Putin use nukes when he’s able to pull the plug on Ukraine’s power grid using cheap $10~$20k drone bombs?

The United States caused the defeat of Germany in World War II, not the USSR and Russia. Russia was merely on hand with ground troops to fill in the eastern European void caused by American bombing.

Subsequently, Germany’s totalitarian political machine was dismantled piece by piece, but Russia’s totalitarian political machine was left intact. Even in the 1990s, when the Soviet Union fell, the Kremlin remained intact.

Now the reunited West is feeling the results of its failure to dismantle the Russian political machine. World War II was caused because Germany reacted to Russia’s Bolshevik revolution by forcibly creating its own European power base. After World War II the West created the same type of power base in NATO, but did so voluntarily, using democracies. And still the Russian bear is attacking its western neighbors.

There is only one way this can end, to internally dismantle the Russian power base once and for all. The problem is the West’s distaste for wading into Russia, for taking control of a place we want nothing to do with.

His own diseased mouth. The conversation in question was broadcast on RT and recorded by multiple viewers who are putting them up on social media. The obvious ones are nexta_tv and Julia Davis News, but there are others.

I’ve seen the clips mentioned on Ukrainian, Russian and Belorussian sites. It seems authentic. Obviously the best source would be the original RT broadcast, if that’s available.

Not all commentary on it comes from western sources...

If anything, the Soviets enabled Nazi Germany with the Non-Aggression Pact, they were the biggest suppliers of the Nazi War Machine when they were overrunning Norway, the Low Countries, and France, and bombing France.

Then when Hitler turned on them, they had the gall to turn to Britain and say, "You and me pals, right?"

pdate on Russian operations against Ukraine for October 23, 2022

- Russian missile and drone strikes continue targeting and crippling Ukraine's power grid,
- Ukraine is attempting to target a major dam at Nova Kakhkovka to flood the Dnieper River and disrupt Russian supply lines to Kherson city;
- Western analysts admit Ukraine is in a critical situation and risks being completely cut off from its Western sponsors;
- The US is putting pieces in place to set up a buffer zone in Ukraine to prevent Russian forces from taking western Ukraine and perhaps even Odesa to prevent what's left of Ukraine from becoming landlocked.

Is NATO foolish enough to try to massively reinforce Ukrainian troops if Russia stages a major break out? Here is the reality–the 101st alone is not a sufficient force and NATO would require MONTHS–let me reiterate that point–MONTHS to round up and deploy the thousands of troops that would be required to pose a credible threat to a Russian advance. Do you think Russia will sit idly doing nothing while NATO scrambles to assemble a force to invade Ukraine and challenge Russia? Ain’t going to happen.

I agree with Andrei’s observation that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s first call to Russia’s Shoigu since May was probably to reassure the Russians that the reports coming out about the 101st Airborne Division element in Romania was hype and that the United States had no intention of deploying that unit to Ukraine. The CBS report target audience is the American public. Keep feeding them bullshit in a desperate attempt to convince them that America should be fighting in Ukraine. I do not think most Americans have the stomach for another feckless foreign military misadventure.
