Oh, well. Yawn.

So... either :

1. edvedev is on the sauce again or Russia really does believe we’ll win or Russia really has turned intergalactic space cadet, or it’s the usual Putin puffing braggadocio. Bluff, nonsense, ignore it.

Or:

2. Time to stop being cavalier about this stuff. Russia parrots this rhetoric constantly because...because it has a hard-on? Because it just wants us to back off? Or because it actually WANTS this war?

Read this open letter to Congress from an American veteran who’s been training Ukrainian people in how to fight back against the Russian invasion. Unlike Russia he doesn’t hide his motivation, unlike Putin he doesn’t have a propaganda army finessing the message before factory broadcasting it.

As I’ve said on another thread, you can feel the deep love of his country, the USA, in his plea to Congress.

You know what I hear with almost every argument in Putin’s favor? America sucks. America has lost its way. We need to be like Russia.

If you want to hear a stout defence of the very values that created the USA in the first place, don’t bother reading shite from Putin puffers. Because you won’t find any of it there.

Instead, read and feel the deep love of country in this gentleman’s message.

This century has been helpful to me for understanding the last century.

After the covid plandemic, I can now better understand how or why the good and decent Germans did as they did after Hitler took power. I saw it happening here with my good and decent American neighbors. SSDD: Same psych, different day, but it’s the same stuff. Humans are easily played!

And after obama’s wins in his goal here to fundamentally transform us, starting with the Constitution and the NBC requirement for POTUS, and then Putin’s invasion and those here who comment in Putin’s favor, I have a better understanding of Joe McCarthy’s battles and why he failed.

Thanks for adding your perspective to my understanding. Your observations from where you’re standing are filling in some missing details that I can’t see from where I’m standing.
