  • 'No one retreating anywhere': Intel intercepts Russian commander ordering fire on his own men

    I included you because I mentioned you in the post. The rubes I mentioned were not you; they were the two that were tag teaming me earlier in the thread. I salute you for facing a great deal of criticism in many of the threads that you started and handling it with a great deal of restraint. I believe that I apologized to you when my exuberance got the best of me. I respect you a great deal despite our disagreements.

    I have always been a fan of Charlie Kirk.

    I am surprised that Tesla stock was able to rebound after the left declared war on Elon and the value dropped by more than half. Now it is almost back up to its previous highs. Elon 1... Lefty idiots 0...

    Did you support a comedian who played the piano with his penis after you beat up your “wife” for doing the same thing?

    Answer the question.

    Get over yourself! You think that I have time to babysit you on this forum? Check out some of the threads from UMCRevMom@aol.com. After Zelensky was proven to nearly everyone here to be one of the greatest grifters of all time... the direct praise for him became less prevalent. You now have to go back a couple years to the point where the hard-core NeoCons and others were not afraid to wet all over themselves. Even you... refuse to say something positive about him what a joke! You are pathetic... If you like Zelensky... Stick up for him! I don't like either of the dictators at the center of this conflict. I have no desire to praise either, but your buds here still label Putin Lovers if you don't agree with continuing the madness.

    Here are a couple I dug up for you since you are too damn lazy to do it for yourself.

    Zelenskyis a hero. If he wins this there will be a profound change in the dynamics of Russia as a predator state. Nixon warned about post communist Russia when he stated that they would once again cause trouble and he was right. Hopefully this will end the chapter of a predatory Russia.

    Mears pointed to Zelensky’s ability to consistently inspire Ukrainians and maintain a strong emotional connection to the country and its people. This measure of emotion or spirit, if even somewhat ineffable, is precisely the kind of thing that can motivate and inspire a population.

    There are a bunch more along the same lines but lately the entire group pinged above will not express their admiration for Zelensky any longer. What a bunch of pathetic losers. If I admired Putin I would say so and loudly if necessary. You pathetic clowns not only do not have the balls to give your lives for a cause; you are afraid to even praise the leader of the country you claim to support... What friends you are to the people of Ukraine. With the exception of UMCRevMom@aol.com... grow a pair!!!

  • Nuclear Threat: Russia Deals A Merciless Blow To Energy Infrastructure☢️💥Military Summary 2025.10.02

    Russia doesn't have anything other than oil which other countries might want to share in, but in general, it's has almost nothing that others would want.

    I thank you for the name calling and long list of statements which once again shows off your complete and absolute and ignorance is every subject that you chose to comment on. Unfortunately, I do not have the time or motivation to waste time trying to counter the complete body of your buffoonery. I have chosen just one of the moronic statements that you have made.

    The value of Russia's known and exploitable natural resources are most frequently estimated at between $75 and $100 trillion which is substantially more than any other country in the world. Quoting from ChatGPT they are...

    Oil — very large reserves and an enormous producer/exporter; oil is one of Russia's top export earners. Russia is usually ranked among the top three oil producers globally.

    Natural gas — the world's largest proven natural-gas reserves (Russia often cited as holding the largest share globally) and a top exporter (pipelines to Europe historically; growing exports to Asia). Gas is a cornerstone of the valuation.

    Coal — one of the world's largest coal reserves (often listed second after another country by some measures).

    Metals & minerals — huge deposits of iron ore, nickel, copper, aluminum (bauxite), tin, lead, zinc, rare-earth elements, platinum-group metals (palladium, platinum), gold, diamonds, uranium and more. Russia is a world leader in several of these (e.g., iron ore, nickel, palladium). Recent attention has focused on rare earths.

    Timber / forests — the largest forest area in the world (vast timber stocks and carbon/value in standing forests).

    Fresh water and arable land — large freshwater reserves and extensive land area; their agricultural potential is significant.

    I beg you please... stop showing off your absolute and total ignorance and complete lack of intelligence by making idiotic and untrue statements.

    We've been living under the threat of “nuclear holocaust” for nearly 80 years now, and Russia is far less formidable than the Soviet Union was.

    Putin is every bit as dangerous as previous soviet leaders... maybe more. And we have people on this forum continuously advocate giving Zelensky’s hopelessly corrupt regime missiles that can be used to bomb Moscow in addition to the hi-tech equipment that they have already used to destroy refineries, pipelines, and military installations hundreds and even thousands of miles inside of Russia. That's why the “doomsday clock” is now “89 seconds to midnight”. This is the closest it has ever been to midnight.

    But ignorance is bliss for a bunch of people who feel completely safe in their own little worlds.

    Drones and missiles go both ways. I forsee tomahawk missiles making Russian families flee to China for warmth.

    You do realize that we are on the verge of a nuclear holocaust? And for what? It is certainly not for the well-being of the people who live in Ukraine. Do not try to kid yourself. It has never been about their best interests. They voted for Zelensky because he promised peace and prosperity. The people behind the scenes who actually orchestrated his rise to power never wanted that. The Ukrainian people were duped.

    And you are gleefully making predictions about Russian's fleeing to China for warmth? The Russians and their leadership were duped as well. Look further into the roots of how this has developed, and you will find a lot of sinful hands had already been stirring the pot for years before Joe (We won't do anything if it's a minor incursion) Biden and company basically encouraged the Russians to take the action that they finally did.

    The true instigators of this mess worked for decades to pry Ukraine out of the sphere of Russian influence and when they finally were successful it took less than ten years to foment a full-scale conflict. The goal has always been to destabilize Russia's government to create more economic opportunities for the oligarchs and leaders of countries with failing economies who somehow always seem to profit from conflicts that create mass scale death and misery for others.

    So yes, I agree that “Sin eventually devours itself.” I am not sure that you realize that the sins and the sinners may not be who and what you think that they are. The price to be paid may also turn out to be much worse than you seem to imagine.

    “You call people who have never said anything positive about Zelensky, Zeepers, because they aren't loyal to Russia.”

    I have no allegiance to Russia or have said anything positive about their current leadership. Pointing out that the “sanctions” have been ineffective and that the actual evidence shows that the Russian economy has been doing just fine despite them is just pointing out reality.

    I am also curious who it is that you believe that I have labeled a “Zeeper” who has never said anything positive about the grifter Zelinsky. It was certainly not either member of the retarded tag team that I have been having fun with. The group as a whole basically worships Zelensky because they have fallen for the propaganda produced, intended to keep our country to continue spending $100s of Billions on a hopelessly corrupt situation that will never be anything but counterproductive. The situation is only helpful to the corrupt leadership in Ukraine, along with Democrats and others who have been profiting from the kickbacks. Almost nothing in this conflict is as it seems. The people who claim to be supportive of the people of Ukraine typically care nothing about them.

    I have not been supportive of Putin or his actions. I do know quite a bit about the history of this region and the factors that led to this situation. A lot of it is pretty darned ugly and certainly does not fit the widely accepted narrative.

    I am sorry to have had a little fun with the rubes here and given them a little of their own medicine back. If you found any of this mutual but stupid back and forth to have been offensive, I apologize for that waste of bandwidth. But I also do not appreciate having positions attributed to me that I have never articulated in any form.

    Statistics show that men who pretend to be women in their daily lives have mental health issues and often become violent. Why is our society trying to pretend that this is not the case? These people need treatment for their illness not coddling.

    In other news: AP 9/29/2025... Microsoft has announced that anyone who does not upgrade to Windows 11 will be infected with a computer virus that can be transmitted from Windows 10 and Linux machines directly to the user through their optic nerve. Symptoms listed by Grok include:

    Uncontrollable Jazz Hands: May cause spontaneous outbursts of synchronized hand movements, often accompanied by an urge to tap-dance in public.

    Temporary Unicorn Vision: Objects may appear sparkly, and you might see glittery hoofprints trailing behind coworkers.
    Sudden Expertise in Obscure Trivia: Be prepared to dominate pub quizzes with random knowledge about 17th-century French haberdashery.

    Involuntary Karaoke Syndrome: You may belt out 80s power ballads at inappropriate times, like during board meetings or funerals.

    Giggle Loops: Uncontrollable giggling at the worst moments, especially when someone says “duty” or “moist.”
    Reverse Magnetism: Loose change, keys, and small metal objects may flee from your presence, making you the bane of vending machines.

    Spontaneous Mustache Growth: Regardless of gender, you might wake up with a handlebar mustache that twirls itself.
    Overzealous Complimenting: You may tell strangers their shoelaces are “absolutely iconic” or their elbow is “a national treasure.”

    Temporary Time Travel Delusion: You might believe you’ve been transported to 1997, leading to attempts to trade Pokémon cards with baffled baristas.

    Extreme Couch Adhesion: A rare but serious condition where you become one with your sofa, requiring snacks to be delivered via drone.

    Warning: If you experience an urge to yodel in elevators, develop a sudden obsession with interpretive dance, or find yourself narrating your life in a British accent, contact your doctor immediately.

  • Why Tech Giants Rely on Foreign Workers

    My wife and I live in an area that is a dumping ground for illegal foreign invaders. As of 2023 47% of people lived in homes where English is not spoken. It is likely well above 50% now. Our local school system has students who speak 130 different languages. They spend a huge amount of money on paid translators. Bright kids are basically completely ignored. Reading, Writing and Arithmetic have taken a back seat to politically correct nonsense. Parents have had to send their kids to private schools for them to actually receive an education.

    This was formerly a very conservative part of the county which wanted to secede from the Western portion of the county. Democrats solved this issue by flooding us with illegal immigrants and registering them to vote at the same time they handed out fraudulent driver’s licenses where the “translators” picked the correct answers for their clients and driving examiners passed people without an actual test for a few $hundred.

    Our schools now charge over $20,000 a year for each student who is signed up to attend.

  • De-anonymizing Powerful Wikipedia Censors

    fireman15 to CharlesOConnell

    Wikipedia is only a worthwhile and reliable source of information if the subject is something that has no political ramifications. Almost everything has some political ramifications some more obvious than others. Wikipedia has a history of bias that they likely will never escape from at this point.

    As we rapidly approach Armageddon, the Zeepers here all in for unlimited nuclear war. The other day one said that he/she didn't thing the Russian nukes would work anyway. Just because they have had the H-Bomb since November 22, 1955 and spend 24 hours of every day and who knows how many $Billions improving their arsenal does not mean anything to these clowns.

  • Global debt hits record of nearly $338 trillion, says Institute of International Finance

    “Global debt hit a record high of $337.7 trillion.”

    Russian National debt was $323 billion as of Q2 of 2025. This is less than 1/10th of 1 percent of $337.7 Trillion. The Zeepers among us claim that Russia’s crushing debt is destroying their economy. Yes, they have a real problem compared to the rest of the world

    Of course, I wouldn’t want to mention the country which has the highest and fastest growing debt in the world by far... What could possibly go wrong?
