you need to tell yourself the truth

[MarMema]

Applause!!

That is exactly who they are.

I am going to bookmark your post for use. Thank you.

“Every Fourth Turning has registered an upward ratchet in the technology of destruction, and in mankind’s willingness to use it.” (The Fourth Turning, Strauss & Howe, 1997)”

That is a very good book as all their books are. Generations!

The West isn’t in Ukraine, I guess you mean withdraw support.

Why would the West submit to Russian threats? Russia isn’t in charge of anything but Russia.

[MeganC]

That’s nice. Doesn’t change the fact that Scott Ritter is a twice-convicted child molester.

Quit doing mass pings.

Well what the pilots are not told is that the plane IS the bomb...

They have only one aircraft carrier and it is so unreliable they have to have a tug boat accompanying it.

The Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuzneszov caught fire in its repair dock just before Christmas and is not expected to be seaworthy until 2024 at the earliest.

You mean Russia cant leave Ukraine? Let me tell you about this one weird trick....

[FreshPrince]

The Russians seem to be the kind of people who are not happy unless they are not happy.

A miserable people

No my kind of Christianity

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, I think you could make that argument.

"Hush, woman."

There have been many insults, threats and nasty wishes from anti-defense cowards, foreign enemies and disgruntled former REMFs here against prior service combat soldiers. And the individuals making such comments remain subscribed. I wonder why.

[FreshPrince]

“Then why aren’t they in Kiev? Odessa? And why haven’t they re-installed Yanukovych?

I mean, if the Ukrainian military was defeated months ago, why are Russians still getting killed by them?”

Yeah makes me wonder how their brains are wired when they make such claims that fly straight in the face of reality.

“Well what the pilots are not told is that the plane IS the bomb...”

Ahhh. Good point.

[Bernard Marx]

The whole point is war with Russia.

Nuclear? That's where we may be headed.

“Yeah makes me wonder how their brains are wired when they make such claims that fly straight in the face of reality.”

They are just doing as they are told. They are like automatons. Then, some are just too far gone in their insularity that they are incapable of independent thought, and just default to the level of their indoctrination.

No... he was twice convicted of cops, pretending to be 16, dirty talking to a man over a computer. Now, back to the real issue. He is one outlier to the extent he pondered doing something. Oddly, that set up and charge came when he loudly came out against Bush and his WMD lie.

The pantheon of human sex trafficking and child molesting groomers is in lockstep in their support of Ukraine. That’s just a hard cold fact.

[ought-six]

“Tense times.”

Yup. And it came and went so quickly that most of America had no idea it had even taken place. Many still don’t.
