Possible WW3 thread

[Pete]

One benefit of a new dictator is that the Russian people finally get the chance to pretend like they are freely electing someone other than Vladimir Putin. 

[sonofdaxjones]

So in essence, a very dangerous situation.

Thanks for confirming that Lick.

#neoconGe believed every ounce and word of it.   A bunch of war loving fanboy arm chair neocons.

How sad

Remember, #blueanon rolled out the usual line of paid and trained professional liars (trained by the best liars in the world, our intelligence agencies) to tell us that the Hunter Biden stories in the NYP were "classic Russian disinformation".     Thus the NYP had to be censored.   

#bleuanon, to the tune of millions upon millions, believed and parroted it all.

dax, you never know when this guy is going to pop in for some light gE reading. be ready.

Patrushev belongs to the Siloviki of Putin's inner circle.[20][a]

In December 2000, on the anniversary of the founding of the Bolshevik secret police, the Cheka, an interview with him was published in a Russian national daily. In defence of the emerging trend of co-opting officers in the security and intelligence apparatus into high government posts, Patrushev noted that his FSB colleagues did not "work for money [...] [they] are, if you will, modern 'neo-nobility'." ("??????????? «??????????»")[21][22] The term "new nobility" gained currency afterwards, as in the eponymous book The New Nobility.[23][24]

Patrushev believes that the United States of America "would much prefer that Russia did not exist at all."[25] He was quoted as saying, "Because we possess great [natural] resources. The Americans believe that we control them illegally and undeservedly because, in their view, we do not use them as they ought to be used."[25]

Patrushev also referenced "Madeleine Albright’s claim 'that neither the Far East nor Siberia belong to Russia.'" According to the New York Times, there is no official record of Albright having made such a remark. Instead, it can be traced back to a psychic employed by the FSB who claimed to have read the thoughts in Albright's mind while in a state of trance.[26][27]

According to Patrushev, the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine was started by the United States.[25]

In June 2019, Patrushev said that Iran "has always been and remains our ally and partner".[28]

Ben Noble, Associate Professor of Russian Politics at University College London, describes Patrushev as "the most hawkish hawk, thinking the West has been out to get Russia for years".[29] According to Putin-regime expert Catherine Belton, it was "Patrushev who's always been the leading ideologue of using capitalism as a tool to undermine the West to buy off and corrupt officials and so on. And he's certainly very much painted the West as a hostile enemy of Russia and something which is kind of debauched and decrepit, and it's time to attack [Ukraine in 2022]."[30]

You seem to have gone into your usual passive aggressive rage mode, Steve (very #neoconGe of you).

Thanks for letting us all know about the very very dangerous situation of Russian destabilization.    Your doing the Flying Spaghetti Monster's work here.   

I knew you'd come around to understanding of this situation . . . that I pointed out weeks ago.   

Slow, but steady, that's our SteveDave

While I may not be in the exact geographic realm, we had a former national security advisor discuss control of various regions of the world around Russia in his book, "The Grand Chessboard".

I simply couldn't imagine why anyone in power in Russia would think the way this guys does.

[Pete]

Hopefully the new guy's palm readers and scryers don't unravel our national security.

[Sandstone Outcropping]

Very good news, if true. Puts the city out of range of most Russian artillery. Not that they can't still target apartment buildings, kindergartens and hospitals with missiles/planes but this should spare the city from a fate like Mariupol for now.

I'll take it!  However, I find it to be equally possible that Russian military merely got turned around and drove the wrong direction....let's hold off on giving all the praise to the Nazi's just yet.

[sonofdaxjones]

Hopefully for Pete and the rest of #neoconGe, this isn't just another . . . Ghost story.

ghost of kyiv stuff what we universally lol’d at a couple months ago was amaze

LOL

So in essence, a very dangerous situation.

Thanks for confirming that Lick.

is it less dangerous with Putin in place?

(also Dax is totally going to do the "your movement" thing about the ghost of Kiev when he realizes nobody actually believed it)

When attempting to decipher meaning from dax's rhetorical style, it's important to understand the style and symbolisms employed by his sensei: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/04/30/us/tucker-carlson-tonight.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur

Imagine being so enraged by Tucker Carlson, that the unilaterally declared "Newspaper of Record" writes a 3 parter.       With possibly the biggest picture and headline in the "newspaper of record" modern (post Internet) history. 

All roads lead to Putin/Tucker Carlson (spracne, #blueanonGe, #blueanon)

You sound the same as you always do.   Constantly looking to deflect from the subject matter when any discussion about this war mongering clown administration is undertaken by me or when I laugh at such nonsense as #neoconGe retroactively trying to say they didn't actually believe the Ghost of Kiev story (and every ounce of all the other propaganda that's channeled to them out of Ukraine via Western intelligence services)

Well, here we have a "Thread of Record," so let's out those dummies who bought in hook, line, and sinker to the Ghost of Kiev story.

[sonofdaxjones]

While @Spracne attempts to go off on one of his usual enraged deflection exercises, let's get back to the matter at hand.

I'm absolutely stunned to think that the rhetoric of the alleged pro's and adults would be used against them to justify this oingoing war by Putin.   

There is a sense in Europe that "the US is dragging everyone into a different war", said Professor François Heisbourg, a French defence analyst, citing similar comments by Mr Biden about "the butcher of Moscow" and how "Putin must go". Some wonder what Washington is trying to say – or do.

"To help Ukraine prevail is not about waging war against Russia for reasons related to its governance," Prof Heisbourg said. "Regime change may be a vision but not a war aim."

He and others said that such talk from Washington plays perfectly into Mr Putin's narrative that Nato is waging war against Russia, and that Russia is fighting a defensive war for its survival in Ukraine.

That may give Mr Putin the excuse on May 9, the annual celebration of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany, to declare this "special military operation" a war, which would allow him, if he chooses, to mobilise the population and use conscripts widely in the battle.

Talk of victory over Russia "gives easy ammunition to the other side and creates the fear that the West may go further, and it is not what we want," said Dr Ulrich Speck, a German analyst. "We don't want to cut Russia into pieces."

Mr Gerard Araud, a former French ambassador to the US and the UN, commented on Twitter: "The support to Ukraine in its modalities and its objectives should be agreed at a political level between allies. Right now, we are sleepwalking to nobody knows where."
