This kind of thing continues to amaze me.
Russia can fire nuclear weapons at the United States , but no one should criticize Russia or Putin.
Perfection.
Now this is the meme summarizing the state of FR.
Putin won’t be pushing any buttons. He wants to live. Bluff and bluster, yes. Destroy Ukraine’s infrastructure for the next twenty years, yes. Blow up the world, no. He lives there. Musk hasn’t finished preparing Mars yet.
26:06 But back to the neocons: they're running the show here [in the Ukraine], and I think it was obvious from the briefing yesterday to the Senate that Victoria Nuland is firmly in charge.
In my opinion, she's firmly in charge of this operation. She's in charge of the Europeans, she's in charge of of the Americans - she's driving this train, this car - absolutely!
I mean that's the one thing (by the way) the neocons are extremely good at - they're extremely good at manipulating people into wars.
They did that over Iraq, they did that over Syria, they did that over Libya.
The one thing the neocons are hopeless at is winning these wars, but they're getting people into these wars, in effect, by engaging in what you might call psychological blackmail to push people into wars.
They do this very well - that's exactly what they do.
They smear - they're very good at smearing their enemies.
You know, talk about Neville Chamberlain and appeasement was conjured up when Schultz was dithering over tanks and of course instead of him coming along out and telling these people to take a running jump and go away, which is what he should do and what a real leader would do, he gets scared.
