Possible WW3 thread

[sonofdaxjones]

are we thinking biden schemed all this? like he brain mumped putin into doing this to himself and russia? he seems like a hapless senile old moron. but on the other hand MAGAs are always claiming he's behind all of their self owns. maybe he is a scheme master?

usually you can't mentally dominate a supposed super power while at the same time enriching yourself with a decades long global powerplay but apparently it is possible

#neocongE - As thousands of people die, they're running fantasy and cosplay scenarios through their feeble little minds.  This time featuring weirdo fantasies about an 82 year old man.

Imagine supporting an administration that does not want additional oversight of a department that has failed 5 (soon 6) straight audits, cannot account for over half of it's $3.5 trillion dollars worith of assets and cannot account for hundreds of billions of dollars of additional assets in the hands of private contractors (doing Flying Spaghetti Monster only knows).

he's absolutely in his tiny d(ax) feelings today fellas.

Sweden gets approved for NATO membership in a huge and hilarious eff you to Russia.  Apart from the many murdered, raped, and abducted innocent Ukrainians, this has been a hilarious escapade.

At this point it is indisputable that Russia is a hapless shell of what they wanted the World to believe about their capabilities and status.  It’s a truly remarkable series of fuckups and unintended consequences:

- Thought they could take Ukraine in 3 days, and instead ran out of gas in wheat fields while stealing appliances…pushed back by a rag tag civilian defense with zero air support.

-  Believed their natural gas would hold Europe hostage, and instead Europe pivoted overnight to alternate suppliers and power sources.

- Currency collapsed

- a very significant amount of bright young people fled country

- Sweden and Finland, historically and legendarily neutral neighbors of Russia immediately RAN into NATO’s arms…locking down a massive border with Russia and the entire Baltic (rough ridin' Russia’s navy directly up the ass).

- created the conditions for an armed revolt against Putin’s leadership group, in a humiliating rebuke of Putin’s power

- positioned the Ukraine for membership in NATO and EU, and quite possibly for yet another large permanent NATO military base on Russia’s doorstep

I’m sure I am leaving out many other hilarious fuckups.

Truly remarkable.

the amazing part is that he literally predicted it.  he called putin a bald dickless moron who would invade and it was like some jedi crap, putin quickly invaded.  well, tried to invade

Most people I know with benefits hate the current system but are terrified it somehow gets worse if it changes. People without benefits are in an absolutely horrific system even after Obamacare but it is just consistent with our lack of a welfare state generally for how we treat the poor as opposed to anything unique. The whole problem is of course we have a very powerful professional organization that prevents new doctors from being trained and so we have highly paid specialists and places like Mississippi where they have fewer doctors per capita, lots of sick people and almost 1/5 don’t have insurance and so people just die. Mississippi should ask Cuba to open a medical school there and figure out how it is done.

OK Bernie, didn’t read most of that but did you see before you posted that I was willing to pay more taxes? Didn’t think so bitch.

The best part of this is the very simple brained mindset that tells the #neocon to believe that unless Sweden joins NATO that NATO countries wouldn't immediately jump to Sweden's defense if they were attacked.

It's the symbolic gestures that get the simp brained #neocon all horned up.

great article today in FT

A modern Maginot line is the last thing Nato needs
The conflict in Ukraine has shown that the alliance needs to think more imaginatively about defence spending
ANJA MANUEL

   Two issues stand out. First, expensive precision missiles and other military hardware can be defeated fairly easily. In Ukraine for example, Russia has jammed GPS along nearly all the 1,200km front, rendering the US-donated Himar launchers and the Excalibur precision shells far less accurate than they should be. The Ukrainians have sometimes gone weeks without hitting a target due to Russian jamming, according to recent reports.

In a fight over Taiwan, the US military worries that China would try to take out its satellites or even the 31 satellites on which the world’s entire GPS system depends, thus rendering many state-of-the-art western weapons systems useless. 

Second, inexpensive, easy to replace commercial technologies have proved themselves to be an essential part of Kyiv’s war effort. Necessity is the mother of invention and the resourceful Ukrainians I have spoken to emphasise that one of their most effective weapons is actually a “first person view” commercial drone — a toy drone normally used for gaming and controlled by virtual reality goggles.

The Ukrainians creatively repurposed these drones with commonly available parts and added explosives. One colonel in Kyiv recently said that drones “play a part in more than 70 per cent of Russian casualties”. Modified drones can cost as little as a few hundred dollars yet reliably destroy expensive targets that are not as agile, even occasionally a Russian T-90 tank that costs up to $4.5mn, yielding massive and unexpected benefits. 

But despite these entrepreneurial efforts by Ukrainian fighters, the US and its allies are so far making few efforts to acquire inexpensive, commercially available technologies such as modified drones, or to make communications satellites harder to defeat. They are stymied in part by lobbying from traditional defence contractors, which has resulted in overspending on kit which takes years to build and quickly becomes defunct.

Posted on the back drop of the recent #blueanon go-to publication's article on the prolific use of Nazi symbolism by the Ukrainian military and knowing full well that the country has a holiday to celebrate a Nazi collaborator whose movement was responsible for mass murder. 

On a related note, there's a large faction of Poles who are less than thrilled with their governments support of the Banderaites.

Dax and Roseanne. The luminaries we need in these trying times.

[sonofdaxjones]

There's actually nothing complicated about it . . .

the photographs, and their deletions, highlight the Ukrainian military’s complicated relationship with Nazi imagery, a relationship forged under both Soviet and German occupation during World War II.
We all know that #blogkaren and #neocongE is going to to avoid and ignore the Sonnenrad's and Totenkopf's on the UkroGrifters

People who talk about "good Jews" are generally very sane and trustworthy.

[Kat Kid]

Look there are plenty of white supremacists/white nationalists in Russia but there are definitely a lot of compromises on Nazis being made by the good guys here. I think there is a real danger that Ukraine ends up blaming Zelensky at the end and embracing the Azov types.

I have to say Max Boot in the WaPo saying cluster bombs aren't that bad is a good chunk of why I am deeply uncomfortable with the gung ho Ukraine crowd. The faces haven't changed since Iraq.

Cluster bombs or rabid radioactive wasps or whatever hits different when it’s expelling invaders of your sovereign nation to me. I’m just one very rough ridin' smart man though.
