Possible WW3 thread

The @sys bot always delivers.

The propagation of the Russia blew up their own pipeline narrative gets right in line with:  Yellow cake, viagra enraged rape squads, WMD's in Iraq, the North Vietnamese attacked our ships, incubator babies, Saddam was working with Al Qaeda . . . and on and and on . . .

So they have 50% of former capacity and are exporting energy?

I imagine they aren't sending energy to russian held areas or genocided villages.

The pathway to world leadership is via perpetual war and military alliances . . . this is the (neocon) way     (Delivering Democracy through shock and awe  )

Great piece on the state of the war right now. Might be paywalled but you should buy a sub.

The country’s descent into inebriated manic depravity has also corrupted its Western apologists—to a point. Unlike in Russia, in America you can’t chortle at videos of Ukrainians getting blown up at train stations or POWs having their heads sledgehammered into paste and expect to participate in mainstream media. Even Fox News primetime wouldn’t condone that. I think.

The immorality of attacking Ukraine was and is so clear, in fact, that most Russia simps in the U.S. didn’t bother trying to justify it in the run-up to war last year. They spent their time insisting that White House warnings of an impending invasion were alarmist nonsense designed to spook the world about Russian belligerence. A “cocaine bear”? Why, the very idea is preposterous.


They’ve spent every day since regretting their naivete and flogging Russia mercilessly for its ongoing crimes against the Ukrainian people. No, I kid: They’ve spent every day since repositioning themselves as “anti-war” even though they’re aligned with the side in the conflict that could stop the war instantly and unilaterally by withdrawing—yet chooses not to. In that context, bleats about a “peace deal” are little more than doublespeak aimed at pressuring Ukraine to offer territorial concessions that will let Putin save face and finally make withdrawal worth his while.

What unites all variants of the “anti-war” argument is the notion that the war is something that’s being done to Russia rather than something Russia is doing to someone else. Just last night, for example, this secessionist turned up on (where else?) Fox News primetime to lament bipartisan support in the United States “for this war against Russia in Ukraine.”


I’m tempted to ask her if she would have opposed “the war against Germany in Poland” during World War II but I fear what the answer might be.

Other “anti-war” populists have cried crocodile tears about Ukraine’s hardships while implying that the United States is contributing to them rather than alleviating them. “A lot of Americans are asking, ‘How much more money? How much more time? How much more human suffering?’” Fox host Lisa Boothe complained recently. She meant to suggest that Ukrainians might suffer less if Joe Biden and his warmongering party stopped thrusting weapons into their hands and goading them to defend themselves, never mind what happened earlier in the war in places where the locals found themselves at the mercy of Russian soldiers. Or that majorities in every region of Ukraine believe the country should keep fighting until it wins.

Every day for the past year, the Ukrainian government has begged the United States for more, and more sophisticated, munitions. To ignore that and insist that the policy that will produce the least “human suffering” involves Ukraine being disarmed, you need to be awfully committed to populist authoritarianism.

Oh look another armchair #neocon toadie goes off the rails, while Hillary works the circuit calling for regime change in Russia (shall we pull up that very impressive list of Ukrainian oligarch donors to Hillary's money laundering operation again?).

The tragic thing about this, is once again the #neocon piss boys don't seem to ever want to talk about the U.S./NATO/EU constant meddling with Ukrainian internal politics, including overthrowing via a coup a Russian leaning democratically elected leader.

Now as Zelensky talks openly about meeting President Xi and China's peace proposal, look for the flailing #neocon and their simp brained parrot boys to become even more unhinged.

The simp brained #neocon/#neocongE'r never asks why the last two Democratic presidential candidates, current POTUS, former VPOTUS, and former Senator/SOS were so far up the ass of one of the most corrupt countries on the planet.  Millions of dollars of donations, board seats on massively corrupt Ukrainian energy corporations (replete with a founder who hasn't been seen in years), unexplained trips to Ukraine (where even the Ukrainian national media was asking why TF is this guy here . . . again?) and on and on and on.

Then to watch the simple brained #blueanon get completely sucked into the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory like the mushed brained derps they are . . . a total deflection from the real corruption happening in Ukraine.

so, in your not at all crazy and scared world is $700k a year over a decade a large sum or a piss drop?  I just want to get an idea of how smart you are about the magnitude of political donations.  Even if that was 20 years ago.

$10 million dollars from one of the most corrupt countries on the planet being laundered through the fake foundation of a sitting U.S. Senator and ultimately Sec. of State is just no big deal cus I can do math . . . #slowdug

I love that in your world $670k a year is a ton of money.  Have you ever flown on an aer-o-plane?  They go way up in the sky!!
