Possible WW3 thread

I can’t argue with any of that. I will say that I absolutely hate the type of speech that Vance is alleging has been stifled, but I must acknowledge that one is either pro free speech or one is not pro free speech…. But, not absolving purposefully hurtful statements, such as “Covid is not real.”

Russia: genocidal, shithole country:

Even more bleak is the case of Mariupol, the once thriving port city on the Sea of Azov that until the invasion began boasted a population of 540,000. From February to May 2022, Russian forces unleashed an exceptionally brutal siege on the city, surrounding it by land and sea, laying waste to apartment complexes, schools, hospitals, theaters, and other buildings, driving out anyone who could escape, and forcing all who remained into basements, often with almost no access to heat, food, or water. By the end of the ordeal, some 95 percent of the city had been destroyed and, according to an investigation by Human Rights Watch, more than 10,000 civilians killed. Ukrainian officials estimate that as few as 90,000 of the city’s residents remained.

Yet over the past year, Moscow has heavily promoted the destroyed city to Russian settlers, claiming that the population has risen again to 240,000. In January 2024, clips from a Russian state television documentary about Mariupol’s new real estate market went viral. Designed as a PR film to promote the Russian reconstruction of the city, the documentary shows a Russian journalist casually walking through a residential unit in a bombed-out building—what the documentary refers to as a razrushka, “little wrecked apartment”—and talking with local real estate agents, who offer her the chance to invest in the abandoned ruins. The film crew walks through the debris, stepping over the belongings left behind by fleeing Ukrainians, while a cheerful voice speaks about a marvelous view from the balcony.

VIP apartments that have already been repaired, the film announces, are being sold for up to $50,000, and only people coming from “Greater Russia” can afford them. One agent complains that “there are not many survivors per square meter,” and those locals who have survived can’t afford new housing, even with a mortgage. The compensation paid by Russia to a Mariupol resident for the destruction is $350 per square meter. But people who lived downtown and whose houses were demolished won’t have a chance to move back, even if a new building is being constructed on the same site.

I reference articles in WaPot and NYT's regularly. Even though I know that they're almost exclusively controlled by #blueanon, and have almost every ounce of their anti-Trump coverage dictated to them by their "sources" aka the DC Blob.

When two opposing colonialist masters sit down to discuss the carving up of the world, they need not be bothered by the opinions of the colonies.

"I think I have the power to end this war, and I think it's going very well. But today I heard, 'Oh, well, we weren't invited.' Well, you've been there for three years," Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort. "You should have never started it. You could have made a deal."

Nothing enrages #neocongE more then a POTUS talking about peace and having good relations with other countries.

Gee. If we could only name the person responsible for starting this war and capable of ending it today.

Being stupid enough to blame Ukraine for starting the war (and then failing to end the war) is exactly the same as blaming rape victims for the crimes committed by rapists.

Lacking the intellect to at least acknowledge that the United States intensively meddled in the internal affairs of Ukraine is just amazing to me. The evidence is right there, plain as day, yet #blueanon/#blueanongE/#blueanon neocon/#neocongE steadfastly refuses to even acknowledge the factual reality.

Top that off knowing that the previous administration had lined up the BlackRock's of the world to suck up all of Ukraine's assets in the aftermath is even more ghoulish . . . once upon a time #blueanon used to scream about Halliburton.

#blueanongE loves their dictators.

Viewers of this blog are reminded that the previous administration wanted that coke vacuum put on an iceberg early on. Wanted him completely out of the country and out of the way.

Why? Because he wanted to negotiate

What’s even worse is how #blueanon cheers on this war and believes everything the US/NATO propaganda machine tells them to believe.

Once upon a time the same people had a total meltdown about the Bushian ‘Merica shtick and now they’re the easiest to manipulate and get to fall in liners that exist.

It won't be just MAGA but also "normie" republicans falling over themselves to co-sign lies like this.

[sonofdaxjones]

It's 2.20.25 and #neocongE is still forgetting that the previous administration tried to remove the coke vacuum, who has now been in office for 6 years, shut down elections and shut down most all - if not all political opposition under the guise that they were "controlled by the Russians" . . . just like in Romania, where the winner of the elections won in a landslide, but the US/EU does what they always do.

The US/EU . . . when they're meddling: Death, destruction and mayhem always follows

Reminder to all viewers of this blog that Bill Burn - former US Ambassador to Russia for W wrote multiple memos to C. Rice and the rest of the neocons surrounding W (most of whom have now moved into the welcoming arms of #blueanon). 

In those memos he explicitly warned that Ukraine and Georgia joining NATO would be strongly opposed . . . even by the opposition in Russia. He also noted that Lavarov et. al. Expressly warned him in direct talks, that Ukraine and Georgia joining NATO would be met with tremendous resistance across all elements of Russian politics.

The #neocons did not listen to Ambassador Burn.  They've always wanted confrontation with Russia, and then they just migrated into Obama's periphery, and then to Biden's periphery. Always out pushing for confrontation with Russia.
