  1.  @Canadianuncle-e2r  Maybe they let it happen.

  2.  @basook6116  If you have any US currency - you have US debt. In fiat currencies debt is money.

  3. This is the cover story - "it is a false flag" - for Russia attacking medical centers.

  4. Rome 500 BC

  5.  @hrishikeshbasumatary4725  You have forgotten American anti-Imperialism. The Suez Canal 1956 was an example. We have been that way since the founding.
    5
  6. If America was in the position of Russia it would have gotten Europe to want to join it. Russia relies on military annexation. Not near as popular.

  7. ​ @alinaqirizvi1441  "Who's going to steal the oil?" Notice wars breaking out as US leaves? Your neighbors will steal the oil.

  8.  @safeer838  "US loosing your ARMY" Just moving it. Sometime in the future. Maybe.

  9. Russian Imperialism should never stop.
    4
  10. "not encouraging Ukraine to attempt to recapture Crimea," - is not the same as forbidding it. Also note the word "recapture".
    4
  11. Putin's "Historical Russia" is the reason.
    4
  12. The World hasn't read the Hamas Charter. Yet.
    4
  13. India must work much harder to help Putin establish his "Historical Russia" in Europe. The Soviet Reunion he insists on.
    4
  14. Patience. It is coming.
    4
  15. Nice Story. But I know the Little Green Men in Ukraine story.
    4
  16. The Russian semiconductor industry is world renowned. Russian vehicles are the ones everyone admires. Russian industry is top notch. They will have no trouble supporting Russian forces in their customary manner.

  17. Islamic Imperialism has always been a problem in the region. Even more with the Sunni / Shia division.
    4
  18.  @ferry602  Americans are kind enough to buy friends. Unlike other Empires that force membership.
    4
  19. Philippines did that. Americans packed. They now want us back.
    4
  20. Who exactly were the signers. For a Treaty with America to go into effect the Senate has to ratify it. Was there such a ratification?
    4
  21.  @hkfoo3333  Did the Senate ratify it? If not - No Treaty.
    4
  22. The Philippines asked the US to leave. The US left.

  23. He has a LOT of meat to put into the grinder.

  24. Sometimes a moose annoys a lion. But when the moose is caught it becomes a Russian. Or a hundred thousand Russians - to be more exact. How is the occupation of Odessa coming along? Does Russia still hold Lyman?
    3
  25. "Iraq have the right to defend themselves" From Shia or Sunni?
    3
  26. Strong leadership and excellent armed forces operations is why Russia holds Kyiv and Kherson. The Russian Army can't be defeated. Other than Kherson, Kyiv, Lyman, etc. Putin is so proud of what his Army has done.
    3
  27. Poland will send in what is needed. It does not wish to become part of "Historical Russia".
    3
  28. Ukraine gave up its nukes for a piece of paper. Not again i think.

  29.  @oldguy217  No. There were negotiations and promises. Look it up.

  30. The call for genocide will destroy Allah. Such calls are politics not religion.

  31. Until Americans were taken hostage.

  32. Things must be going badly for Russia so that this small perturbation is promoted into a huge error.
    2
  33. Putin's "Historical Russia" reminds them all the time.
    2
  34. The US could support Islamic Imperialism if it could figure out which one.Sunni or Shia.
    2
  35. The US Government. Which has the means to back it up.
    2
  36.  @samschreiber1640  and now VietNam is our friend. Go figure,
    2
  37. What do you think of the concept Putin has mentioned. "Historical Russia." Is that an issue for Poland? Estonia?
    2
  38. Baby Lon Cheney
    2
  39. If only he hadn't ordered Russian troops to cross the border. Besides Putin has bad PTSD from child abuse. Any sign of Ukraine independence makes him VERY angry.

  40. McCoy "The Politics of Heroin".

  41. In 1945 there was no chance of anyone firing back. That may no longer be true.
    2
  42. You will note - that so far - Russia has not attacked any NATO countries. I wish Russia would. I'd like to see what would happen - to Russia.
    2
  43. How many times has Russia captured Bakhmut so far? Was it bad data or incorrect application?
    2
  44.  @thurmanmurman1226  They are not out of ammo. They just reduced their firing rate by 2/3rds. They have plenty.
    2
  45.  @youjean83  Russians are advancing at a tremendous rate from Eastern Ukraine. Moscow will be in Kyiv in less than 3 years. They are unstoppable.
    2
  46. How far is 999 miles from Guam? The Pacific has been an America lake since 1945. It is OK. The 12 mile limit applies everywhere including the USA. The Americans insist on it. And have an 11 CVN Navy to make it stick. How many CVNs do the complainers have? None.
    2
  47. Ukraine has always been willing to talk. Once Russia leaves all of Ukraine and ends the war it started in 2014.
    2
  48.  @Murad-qr9jw  And the ships have called forth the Navies of the World.
    2
  49. If Russia reincorporates Poland it’s only logical it annexes the Baltic 'states'. "Historical Russia."
    2
  50. "Iraq has every given right to defend itself..." If it can.
    2
  51. Agreed. I love those human wave attacks. No mercy for Russian soldiers. A meat grinder. The battle for Kyiv was impressive. The battle for Kherson even more son. All those tanks and armored vehicles left for the Ukrainians. Very generous. Very kind. Or stupid. Depending.
    2
  52.  @valp1621  The child abductions the Russians are doing does show their love. And it does make up some for Russia's demographic problem.
    2
  53. Does Russia really wish to fight NATO? I would be surprised if the answer was "yes".
    2
  54. They wasted a lot fighting Russia didn't they? Do you suppose they have been beaten sufficiently?
    2
  55.  @cleopatra7377  That is why Putin is always on about "Historical Russia."
    2
  56.  @cleopatra7377  Putin's "Historical Russia" is the fox and the snakes. Historical Russia has a bad history with Ukraine.
    2
  57. The people of Ukraine mostly don't want to be part of Russia. Self determination is a stronger argument.
    2
  58.  @hukebein92  The Russians have captured Bakhmut several times a month for at least 6 months. Ukraine still holds it. Why doesn't the Russian Army bypass it? It can't.
    2
  59. He is predicted to win the popular vote and the Electoral College.
    2
  60.  @rashidkhanmajid4179  She was referring (IMO) to Islamic Imperialism. Humans are in the process of sorting out a world culture. Planetary Institutions (such as they are) are Western already and will be even more so as the world evolves. Human rights are a Western idea. You might like them.
    2
  61.  @robertlau7159  International law since the Brits set it. "Freedom of the seas". Ocean travel is the common heritage of all humanity. Be thankful that 'you' can get just as close to the USA coasts. One rule for all.
    2
  62.  @noosatraders  It means world inflation is greater than US inflation.
    2
  63.  @cleopatra7377  As long as they don't run out of convicts. Just make every Russian under 50 a criminal.
    2
  64. The USA is way ahead of you. America is already retreating. Notice the wars? Sort them out on your own.
    2
  65.  @AkkadSun  "Stealing is cheaper ;)" Not when you have as much local oil as the US has. You want to develop and PROTECT your resources? Do it yourself.
    2
  66. Stalin Hitler Putin Abused children. Abused children hope war will resolve their inner conflicts.
    2
  67. And when asked to leave - we go. The Philippines. Which now wants us back. I believe that is the coming norm.
    2
  68. With the US now in Ukraine, the US will no longer need its vast network of spy satellites. They are all being grounded to save money. The USA is broke and Russia is rich. Especially in history. The Russian Genocide of Ukraine in the 1930s. The Russians starved to death millions of Ukrainians - for profit. To pay off bankers.
    2
  69.  @joeyreidelbach5509  That is in the process of change. When it changes Russia will dissolve. It will dissolve because it will be unable to afford a sufficient Army to keep the Federation federated.
    2
  70.  @franktoh3041  Power and interest. The USA had both. The Indians only had interest and temporary (at the time of signing) power. It is why Israel keeps a very strong Army. (and reputedly Nukes).
    2
  71. They could submit to Russia. Or Africa. Or the Middle East.
    2
  72. And not only that. Ukrainians want to expel the friendly Russians. It makes no sense. Unless you know about the attacks on German women at the end of WW2. And the attacks on Ukraine women in this war.
    2
  73. Um. Turkey is a NATO member. So far Russia has avoided a direct war with NATO. Why do you suppose that is?
    2
  74. China just let the world know how powerful they are. They are taking lessons from the Russians.
    2
  75.  @stockgrove1  Good defense - everybody else looks at the table and decides against it. Good offense - everybody else looks at the table and decides we can't resist. They look and feel identical. Hope for a power with minimal territorial desires. And those mostly naval.
    2
  76. Islam for 1,400.
    2
  77. Imperialism is out of favor. Except for ..................... the usual suspects.
    2
  78. @Stanislav Bakanov I'm not fluent in Russian as my son is. So I read the translations. What I do know is that Poland is doubling the size of its Army and has offered Ukraine military manpower - if needed.
    2
  79. America want the final destruction of the Soviets. That is not short sighted - for the Americans.
    1
  80. The Ukrainians are fiends. They attack in one direction - Russia moves forces to counter that and then Ukraine attacks the places forces were removed from. They have been doing this the whole war. So Russian victories in Soledar come at the expense of Crimea.
    1
  81. Oil and gas.
    1
  82.  @shamsulchong1785  NATO minus the USA is not going away. It will get renamed. Once Europe gives up Islam, its position will improve greatly.
    1
  83. It is not a civil war. It is a Russian death spiral. Because of demographic decline the Russians have an existential problem. Imperialism or Death. BTW Russian "Civil War" can extend to East Germany. According to Putin's "Historical Russia" speech.
    1
  84. Once Ukraine gives up Putin can go on to Poland as his "Historical Russia" plan requires.
    1
  85.  @geoeconomics5629  You failed to mention the prior Russian coup. Whose members have been convicted of treason in Ukraine and are now living in Russia. They weren't very popular.

  86. And soon to be 7. Seven cannot be #1.

  87.  @gulammustafakhan  Yep. No terrorist states. 1. Hamas has murdered invalids 2. Kidnapped women and children 3. Videotaped their war crimes 4. Attacked a large outdoor party and machine gunned unarmed youth 5. Murdered civilians in the streets and in their homes 6. Hamas wears no uniform. Everyone in Gaza is a legal Military Target FREE PALESTINE

  89. America invented fast neutron technology. The first application was Japan.
    1
  90.  @KamVitaly  Moderated (delayed) neutron reactors are functional and tend to have some inherent safety (they roughly self regulate at a temperature). Adjustments can be slow and are. Fast reactors don't have such a property. Physics.

  91. Satan is the god of abused children. Stop child abuse if you don't want so many snakes. Hitler was an abused child.

  92. Can you cooperate with Putin's dream - "Historical Russia"?

  93. "China to build Electric freight inter change" Exploding batteries can change oceans faster.

  94. Israel is not an occupation State. It stole the land fair and square from the people who declared war on it. And lost. Again. And again. And again. And again. And again. Some have quit losing.

  95. Except for America help. As Ukraine is getting.

  98. "Zelenzky must stay strong, he is a great Leader!" Who opposes Russian Imperialism.

  99. Zelensky just announced he will reach his war aims by the time Trump takes office.

  100.  @kkmardigrce  Ukr just announced it will achieve its war aims by 20 Jan 2025.

  101. Especially civilians in Gaza. Except there are none. Thanks to Hamas. 1. Hamas has murdered invalids 2. Kidnapped women and children 3. Videotaped their war crimes 4. Attacked a large outdoor party and machine gunned unarmed youth 5. Murdered civilians in the streets and in their homes 6. Hamas wears no uniform.

  105.  @wolfswinkel8906  You assume Russia can stop with Ukraine. Putin in his "Historical Russia" speech said a Soviet Reunion is required.
    1
  106. Putin is correct if he doesn't win this war the Soviet Empire will cease to exist. He says so in his "Historical Russia" speeches. I oppose a Soviet Reunion.
    1
  107. That is what Putin has been saying about Eastern Europe in his "Historical Russia" speeches since 2019 at least. There seems to be some misunderstanding though and evidently Ukraine is not in accord with a Soviet Reunion and are willing to fight about it. Poland, which is doubling the size of its Army, agrees with Ukraine.
    1
  108. Or he expects to defeat Russia in the next 3 months.
    1
  109. The Ukrainians have a big advantage. The Russian Genocide of Ukraine in the 1930s. The Russians starved to death millions of Ukrainians - for profit. To pay off bankers.
    1
  110. @Nicolas_ No country that was once part of the Soviet Empire should be allowed self determination. That is Putin's position. The Ukrainians have a big advantage. The Russian Genocide of Ukraine in the 1930s. The Russians starved to death millions of Ukrainians - for profit. To pay off bankers.
    1
  111.  @ballofcheese1340  The current Russian position probably explains NATOs current existence. - No country that was once part of the Soviet Empire should be allowed self determination. That is Putin's position. He backs it up with the Russian Army. Top level Russians also admit Poland is next on the list. And: The Russian Genocide of Ukraine in the 1930s. The Russians starved millions of Ukrainians to death - for profit. To pay off bankers.
    1
  112. And those who believe German promises. Czechoslovakia is enough for us.
    1
  113. This is amazing after only 6 or 7 months of trying Ukraine forces will be removed from Bakhmut. Russian Blitzkrieg.
    1
  114. "Yemen has Right to defend themselves.." From unarmed merchant ships? The merchant ships have called in the Navies of the World to protect them. Which is their right.
    1
  115. Stalin Hitler Putin Abused children. Abused children hope war will resolve their inner conflicts.

  116. China can warn all it wants. Is it ready to go to war? Not yet.

  118. The Israelis are working for eternal freedom for P'stine. May it be granted.
    1
  119. Putin should attack NATO to prove they are a Paper Tiger. Or not.
    1
  120. The purity of Russian motives cannot be denied. Also the honor of Russia cannot be denied. The Russian Genocide of Ukraine in the 1930s was very honorable. The Russians starved to death millions of Ukrainians - for profit. To pay off bankers.

  121. The Hamas Charter call for genocide. That is not very nice.

  125. Russian Imperialism. The "Historical Russia" Putin gives speeches about, must be supported. Poland, being in on the plan, is doubling the size of its Army and offering troop support to Ukraine.

  126. Lucky for you Russia is not reproducing almost as fast as China.

  127. The Hamas Charter of 1988 calls for genocide. It has not been rescinded.

  129.  @Rexorazor  They will never feel bad as long as there are calls from Arab religion for genocide.
    1
  130.  @ertugrulserdar5572  Centuries actually. There are "Holy Books" calling for genocide and followers practicing it.
    1
  131. Aren't Russians doing the same? There are no conscripts of course. Just a lot of dragnet forced joining.
    1
  132.  @theonly6359  Ukraine has lost Kherson, Kyiv, and Odessa. The Russian local blitzkrieg of 300 meters a week is unstoppable. Just look at the great things Russia has accomplished in Bakhmut and Vuhledar. As you point out - it is obvious Ukraine is losing. Before long Ukraine will be losing Crimea. And the whole of the Donbas.
    1
  133. Americans are doing starting to mind their own business. Notice the wars breaking out? As America retreats the wars will increase. You may in the future be asking us back.

  135. Nothing can be more fitting for a Nazi country than to have a Jewish President. As a counter point - can we rename Russia --> Holodomor?
    1
  136. "A free nation has been attacked!" By international civilian shipping. What do you suppose happens next?
    1
  137. 1. Hamas has murdered invalids 2. Kidnapped women and children 3. Videotaped their war crimes 4. Attacked a large outdoor party and machine gunned unarmed youth 5. Murdered civilians in the streets and in their homes 6. Hamas wears no uniform. Everyone in Gaza is a legal Military Target FREE PALESTINE
    1
  138. Yes. A win in Ukraine makes it more likely Putin can execute his "Historical Russia" plan to recreate the Soviet Union. Poland is next.
    1
  139.  @kmasif164  Military experts? Really?
    1
  140.  @kmasif164  Not watching MSM propaganda is a great idea. I don't watch it. How is it you know what they say?

  141. To quote Admiral Akbar, "It's a trap".

  142. The Georgian people may have a different opinion. It is conquered territory.
    1
  143. Have you read the "Historical Russia" speeches Putin has been giving for years? It is Putin's fault.
    1
  144. Does that mean Joe Biden goes to jail? I'm for that. A lot of Americans are.
    1
  145. The Americans have decided Russia should be 7 countries - not 1. Putin's Russia cooperated by amping up the war.
    1
  146. @Aindri Shipping containers are piling up in China.
    1
  147. @Aindri Putin's "Historical Russia" plan to recreate the Soviet Union says Poland is next. With Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia also included in the plan. NATO is an obstacle - not a reason..
    1
  148.  @wolfswinkel8906  You haven't been listening to Putin's "Historical Russia" speeches. His plan to recreate the Soviet Union. Poland is next. Some Russians say it openly.
    1
  149. There is a reason for that. Trump sent 59 armed Tomahawk missiles to a Russian base in Syria at the beginning of his term. They exploded on contact. Vlad took no territory for 4 years.
    1
  150. How is Bakhmut doing? Wagner head says Ukraine will take it back.
    1
  151. Russian Imperialism has non-Russian supporters.
    1
  152. Florida WANTED to join the USA. It is my understanding Taiwan does not wish to become part of China. Nor does Ukraine wish to become part of Russia. You know. The "Historical Russia" plan. Does China have a "Historical China" plan?
    1
  153. It is all part of his "Historical Russia" plan to recreate the Soviet Empire.
    1
  154. Hitler and Russia were firm allies when it came to dismembering Poland and starting WW2. After that the alliance fared badly. Without American help (trucks) Russia would have lost WW2. America has 11 Nuclear Powered Carriers. The rest of the world has - none. The Earth is 70% ocean.
    1
  155.  @cleopatra7377  It is a wonder why Poland is not interested in being part of "Historical Russia". Putin says it is a good idea.
    1
  156. Physical evidence will be required to prove the claim. Got any?
    1
  157. The war is an inevitable outcome of Putin's plan for "Historical Russia." Poland is next according to the road map.
    1
  158. America is going away. If you can't afford a Navy your prosperity and security will be going as well. Enjoy the world you want. In another 50 years the world may be clamoring for American rule. Bad as it is, there is worse. Much worse. And much worse is the norm.

  159.  @Disrespectfultethering  Islamic Imperialism brought war until it split up. Then it brought more war.
    1
  160. Good. China will not get away this time.
    1
  161. Russian Imperialism and the "Historical Russia" Putin gives speeches about, need all the support they can get.
    1
  162. You assume the war ends in Ukraine. Bad assumption. Because of demographic decline the Russians have an existential problem. Imperialism or Death.
    1
  163.  @MsHSpring  Physical evidence will be required. Got any?
    1
  164.  @drewpaupanekis4710  Who else is against NATO? Not Poland. The Russian Genocide of Ukraine in the 1930s. The Russians starved to death millions of Ukrainians - for profit. To pay off bankers.
    1
  165.  @drewpaupanekis4710  Russia joined Nazi Germany to start WW2. How much more Nazi does it get? Hitler and Stalin divided up Poland. Which is currently next on Russia's target list. In any case Ukraine has declined the Russian offer. Vigorously. I'm an anti-Colonialist. I favor self determination. I oppose Imperialism.
    1
  166.  @drewpaupanekis4710  Did you know that there are hardly any Russian Jews left? They emigrated to Israel when that window opened.
    1
  167. Russian Blitzkrieg. It only took 6 or 7 months.
    1
  168. It won't be long before a full Soviet Reunion if Poland doesn't fight. Poland is doubling the size of its Army.
    1
  169. Putin gives speeches about the peace he wants. He calls his plan for a Soviet Reunion "Historical Russia". You can look it up.
    1
  170.  @DedSec_47  That will be shortly after the Russian collapse.
    1
  171. Very unlikely. Mr. Z just announced Ukr war aims will be reached by the time Trump takes office.
    1
  172. China is a 'super power' because the EU and USA buy Chinese. That can be corrected and is being corrected. Shipping containers are piling up in China.
    1
  173. Russia wants a Russian friendly Ukraine. Poland does not. Neither does Ukraine.
    1
  174.  @mamacryright5740  Maybe she doesn't like Putin's idea of "Historical Russia". And then there are the child abductions and known War Crimes.
    1
  175. Putin has been giving speeches about "Historical Russia" since 2019. He wants a Soviet Reunion.
    1
  176.  @el-Conde-MonteCristo  Hamas has NEVER denounced the Hamas Charter. That would require denouncing the Koran. That Netanyahu was one smart feller to get Hamas to accept that. It makes ALL Palestinians look very bad. Why not start a movement to denounce the Charter and the embedded Koran verses?
    1
  177. "Image how peaceful the Arab countries without American troops wow" Islamic Imperialism sold slaves to the Americans.
    1
  178. Russian Imperialism. The "Historical Russia" Putin gives speeches about, must be supported. Poland, being in on the plan, is doubling the size of its Army and offering troop support to Ukraine.
    1
  179. Actually this site has taken very thin gruel and conflated it with some very large actions. Ukraine was asked for a budget - some time in the future. No suggestion of who pays was made.
    1
  180. And the person doing the asking could only do it as a suggestion. It was not an order.
    1
  181. You will be finding out as time goes on that USA 🇺🇸 and Israel and allies don't want you either. You will need your own Navy to do international trade. Good luck.
    1
  182. Does Trump support Russian Imperialism? I was unaware of that.
    1
  183. They wish to avoid Russian Imperialism and giving in to the "Historical Russia" Putin gives speeches about.

  184.  @eggsmann594  Snort.

  185. They funded Hitler. Guess what happened to him?

  186.  @MohNaz-ly6yx  Joe lifted some Iran sanctions. I blame the USA for everything Iran does.
    1
  187. I heard different from the "Historical Russia" speeches.

  188. Russia is not going to get the Soviet Reunion it wants - "Historical Russia" - without a war. or several.

  189. So true. It is nothing like Putin's speeches about "Historical Russia" that he has been giving for the last four years - at least. Having a Soviet Reunion (of the unwilling) is nothing like what Zelensky wants.

  202. Fantastic. BTW how did you like The Russian Genocide of Ukraine in the 1930s? The Russians starved to death millions of Ukrainians - for profit. To pay off bankers. My guess is that they still owe the bankers. But this time Ukraine is effectively fighting back.

  208. The "Historical Russia" concept has Ukraine and a few NATO members standing in the way. Poland. Latvia. Lithuania. Estonia. To name just 4. Can I add Germany?
    1
  209. The US was completely negligent in not supporting Russian Imperialism. The Russians are already talking about taking Poland next. America should think about giving to Russia, France and Germany as well. It would cut down expenses considerably.

  211. Fast neutron reactors lack one property that slow (moderated) neutron reactors provide. The moderated reactors tend to have some inherent safety. Under constant power load and rod settings they tend to self regulate at a temperature. And that also works for small load changes. Physics. The control systems for fast reactors must be much faster. That adds stress to the mechanical components needed for regulation. Physics and Engineering. Slow neutron reactor controls are on the order of 1 to 10 millisecond time constants. Fast neutrons reactor controls need to be 1,000 times (or more) faster. Electrically that is not too difficult. But it means the mechanical controls must have acceleration capacities of 1,000,000 (or more) times. Physics. That also means a million times as much power. What all this means is that fast neutron reactors are 'twitchy' and require controls that can keep up. The rule of thumb is that the controls must be 10 times faster than the process controlled.

  216. According to Putin's "Historical Russia" doctrine defensible borders will require, Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania among others. This is either bad news for Europe or bad news for Russia.

  221. Putin's "Historical Russia" plan to recreate the Soviet Union is truly the hope of the world. It is why so many are flocking to Russia's banner to destroy the Nazis the Russians were at one time allied with in order to start WW2.

  238.  @valp1621  Isn't it interesting that the Ukrainians are fighting so hard to not be Russian. There are even partisans behind Russian lines. History may have something to do with it.

  246. If Russia could increase the rate it expends soldiers in Bakhmut it could speed up the process. A 2,000 casualties a day rate would make Ukraine use supplies twice as fast as 1,000 casualties a day.

  247. Except NATO isn't doing it. Ukraine is. But I do encourage the Russians to attack some NATO countries. I'd like to see what happens next. No nation that was once part of the Soviet Empire can ever again be independent. Do you think that policy will sell in Poland?

  255. They are all gangsters. Why? Glad you asked. Abused child PTSD is the commonest mental illness in America. No one talks about it. Why? Child abuse causes narcissism. The desire to stand in front of crowds. To be noticed. Such desire is not normal. Entertainers and politicians. Almost everyone in the public eye has it or had it. It also causes a craving for power and control.

  268. The USA Congress determines spending. The Pentagon can only make requests. As Ukraine is making requests. In any case Ukraine will not be required to budget until the war is over. Too many variables in wartime.

  269. Don't you love Putin's "Historical Russia" plan to recreate the Soviet Empire? Nothing could be more self defense than that. Poland is next on the plan. Some Russians are saying 'Poland' out loud. Poland is doubling the size of its Army. For self defense.
    1
  270.  @marcspace5144  That is why Russia still controls all of Kherson and has taken Kyiv and Odessa. It has killed all the Ukrainian defenders. Despite that Russia is calling for a second mobilization. No one knows why such a victorious Army would need more troops. The 1,000 casualties a day story is a total lie. It is not more than 500. Usually.
    1
  271.  @LyricalSteeler  It is totally understandable why so many Europeans look forward to the implementation of Putin's "Historical Russia". Who wouldn't want a recreation of the Soviet Empire in Europe?

Japan, an American ally with a proud martial tradition, is rearming. With American approval. I expect at the end of the next 20 or 40 years countries will be clamoring for a re-imposition of Pax Americana. Japan is ahead of the crowd.

  331. Marx was an abused child. So were Hitler and Stalin. Child abuse causes most of humanity's problems. From Hitler to petty theft. It is a way of thinking. The displaced rage from their abuse dissolved their morals. The anger and the accompanying narcissism are the disease. Abused children are angry, Permanently. They have no human empathy. They crave power and control. The anger is the disease. Child abuse causes narcissism. The desire to stand in front of crowds. To be noticed. Such desire is not normal. Entertainers and politicians. Long term PTSD is a genetic disease.

  355. Does anyone remember the Germans shot in Poland to start WW2? Latest polling in the annexed regions is that they prefer Ukrainian Administration over Russian brutality.

  357.  @das5813  BTW did you hear the story that there were 'Little Green Men' involved? I did. Which may make the massacre stories invented or at least exaggerated.

  363. Yes. It is. 1. Hamas has murdered invalids 2. Kidnapped women and children 3. Videotaped their war crimes 4. Attacked a large outdoor party and machine gunned unarmed youth 5. Murdered civilians in the streets and in their homes 6. Hamas wears no uniform. Everyone in Gaza is a legal Military Target FREE PALESTINE

  364.  @postumus77  We know how badly the Russian Empire ("Historical Russia") needs Crimea. I expect it will change hands sometime in the spring. The American Empire has declared the destruction of the Russian Empire (War Crimes Trials). I believe it will be accomplished. Leaving the Chinese Communist Empire without friends. It is too early for China to start the war (Economics) and also nearly too late (Demographics). I personally look forward to the final destruction of the Soviet Empire. The "Historical Russia" Putin is always on about. And I will repeat. If Russia is so confident why not attack NATO directly?

  365.  @postumus77  Watch the old movie "The Mouse That Roared" to see why the American Empire works so well. Countries that JOIN do very well economically. And you know, there are countries currently BEGGING to join. Begging for American bases. Russia requires coercion. That is ultimately more expensive and is all they can afford. It is also a remnant of the old Russian Imperial mindset. The American Imperial mindset is not something seen before in the world. No other previous Empire could afford it.

  366.  @postumus77  Nothing I'm aware of prevents Romania from changing its alliances. They don't. That is telling. And of course Poland which is Ukraine's supply hub. They are increasing military spending and doubling the size of their Army. Perhaps they have been informed of Putin's plans for "Historical Russia". It is possible Romania has an objection to that as well.

  367.  @postumus77  I have grandparents (long gone) from Romania. I'm going to have to look into that. In any case despite that near by example Ukraine still wishes to be in the West. Poland hasn't changed its opinion. The Baltics prefer the West. So do Sweden and Finland (my wife is part Finnish).
    1
  368.  @postumus77  I just came across an article "Romania is ready to host increased NATO troops if needed, president says" - so despite the failings of the West, Russia still is not an attractive option. Even countries doing badly in the West are not attracted to Russia. That is an indictment. Russia says it intends to destroy Ukrainian culture. The offer from the West? "Join us. You can keep your culture." Diversity is our strength. Yes the leftists have made a mockery of that. It is still true.

  369. McCoy, "The Politics of Heroin". The main cause of addiction in America is abused child PTSD with military service PTSD coming in second. Dr. Lonny Shavelson in his book "Hooked" said that 70% of female heroin addicts had been sexually abused in childhood. We are making war on abused children and disabled vets.

  372. The 'tearing into" has been going on for 10 or 11 months. Average daily progress has been an astronomical 10,000 mm a day. Sometimes even 10,000,000,000 nm a day. Ukraine won't last very long at that rate. Locally.

  373. Have the Russians considered starting a war to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO?

  374.  @KP-ki7mz  The honor of Russia cannot be denied. The Russian Genocide of Ukraine in the 1930s was very honorable. The Russians starved to death millions of Ukrainians - for profit. To pay off bankers.

  384. The USA has friends in Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, and several other places in the area. They have decided they want American help. Why China not have such friends? Communism is not near as popular as it used to be. You can be a part of the American Empire and self governing. Pretty neat trick, eh? Neither China nor Russia offers that option. To be a part of the American Empire you have to apply. The Russians and Chinese have no such rule. "Treaty Organizations" the Americans like to call it (them).

  385. Hamas does it better. 1. Hamas has murdered invalids 2. Kidnapped women and children 3. Videotaped their war crimes 4. Attacked a large outdoor party and machine gunned unarmed youth 5.

  386. Russia allied with the Nazis to start WW2. It doesn't get anymore Nazi than that. Putin is an abused child. So too Stalin and Hitler. They lack empathy. They are permanently angry. They crave power and control. Everyone notices the defects. Most people ignore the cause.

  387. You assume the Russian Problem is solved by Ukraine being Consumed. Not true. Because of demographic decline the Russians have an existential problem. Imperialism or Death.

  390. Of course Crimea is a Red Line for Putin. If Ukraine takes it, he is a dead man.

  391. This is driven by the "Historical Russia" Putin talks about in his speeches. His plan for a Soviet Reunion by force if necessary. Poland is doubling the size of its army as a response. It doesn't want another border neighboring Russia. Seems reasonable. It wants to keep Russia away from NATO. And Russia wants that too.

  392. Surrender to Russian hegemony. What Putin calls "Historical Russia".

  393. Thankfully Hamas gave it to them. 1. Hamas has murdered invalids 2. Kidnapped women and children 3. Videotaped their war crimes 4.

  396. @Stanislav Bakanov Ollie Stone on the CIA coup, eh? You may be surprised to know I have an opinion on that. I like the counter coup the CIA did in Ukraine. They overthrew the Russian coup - which was unpopular in any case. The Russian plotters are convicted of treason in Ukraine and have decamped to Russia. There is historical bad blood between Ukraine and Russia. Russia in the 1930s starved the Ukraine people to death for profit. To pay off bankers.
