Pretty sure I’m not the only American who suddenly wonders what the benefit it is to be a NATO member country. We can use the savings to pay for any number of things that are useful at home. And this recent EU leader nastiness sure seems like a knife in the back from a bunch of ungrateful welfare parasites who take our generosity for granted.
This is the truth- sometimes an entirely beneficial alliance succeeds in its goals and thus obviates itself. NATO should have dissolved after 1992 or invited Russia to join us “Christian” nations in opposing China. The Blob had other ideas.
But it’s not too late and I’m glad we have a president who realizes that. But it always takes two (or more) for a deal and Trump can’t enforce peace on his own.
However, Trump and Putin working together can pretty much dictate any deal they want. lol. Betcha y’all Eurotards wishing you had some nukes NOW. Heh.
Britain has them too, which only underlines the absurdity of 500 million Europeans asking a nation of 300 million to help them defend themselves against a nation of 140 million which has one-tenth the economy of the EU.
While I adore the sentiment of the gentleman saying it, America is at least 330 million actual citizens by now. Though who knows what the true current population of the country is.
Russia won't need them against present-day France. A brigade of Cossack horsemen armed with Kalashnikovs and a surrender agreement should be sufficient.
Those cossacks are Ukranian and fighting Russia with a passion unseen in modern history. The only thing that will defeat them is a knife in the back by America.
Could be, or Russia will back down. Think the bombardment of Singapore by the Japanese, after their last volleys they gave the British general one last ultimatum. The Brits surrendered only to find out that the Japanese had no more ammunition.
Pound for pound, the Ukrainians have outfought their Russian adversary, but not by enough to make up for Russian numerical superiority. So, the Ukrainians are slowly losing, even with US support. Without US support they lose fast. The US is not going to go to war with Russia to protect Ukraine. The risk is too great. The Europeans are neither able nor willing to actually join the fight. Talking won’t do the job. The war is expensive (unaffordable) and there are other military matters requiring US attention. A cease fire and subsequent European military buildup are essential. The Eurotards and the US Democrat Party are both mentally befuddled by this state of affairs. They are given to magical thinking. “This can go on indefinitely.” “This won’t go nuclear.” “The Ukrainians can push the Russians back.” (What should you expect from people who can’t tell the difference between a man and a woman?). We must get these people out of office before they get us all killed. We are damned lucky this hasn’t gone sideways already.
They haven't outfought the Russians, pound for pound, or otherwise. They are hemorrhaging men and pretending 'tis but a scratch.
Only one of the two belligerents has needed forced mobilisation, while the other continues gaining territory with volunteers.
An attacker assaulting prepared defences — as in the Donbas — should need larger formations (battalion versus company, or brigade versus battalion, for example) and should suffer proportionately larger casualties. Instead, you have 6 man Russian assault squads taking trenches and bunkers with minimal casualties.
Can’t speak for the Eurotards, but the US Dems are lining their pockets with laundered money from this farce. Plenty of Republicans also. Those howling the loudest for the US to continue their involvement with this mess are gaining the most. I’d like to keep everyone out of war, not just my child.
That was right about the middle of high school for me, and someone had pointed out that NATO had *achieved its goal* of containing the Soviet Union, and was now wandering off into adventurism it had absolutely no business in, a'la Bosnia et. al. And in my burgeoning libertarianism, I realized, "Oh! We should put that toy down, now."
When we added the first former members of the Warsaw Pact in '99, I saw the ultimate wisdom of that position. And look, here we are.
1992 disbandment of NATO would have been right under the Cold War paradigm. And treating those Nations and Populations fairly would have been Christian of us, but West has been unborn torturing-to-death while silently screaming sacrifice worshippers of Satan like our Z. Masters for too long for our leaders to act humanely.
Imagine if this GreatSatan trusted in Nuke Bombs and missiles enough to converted military bases throughout Europe, middle-east, Asia into economic trade and development hubs, perhaps linked by high-speed Rail? And no endless wars for israel but invested money in manufacturing, sane job and education training here and in regions of world we could help and be benefactors - like China does?
I decided that nuke weapons have been a false reality psychop that Ruling international families use to drive fear and population control, Cold-war, as needless war has been anti-Christian genocidal motivations - French Rev, CivilWar, WWI, WWII, Holodomor, Armenian Genocide, .., now Holodomor Part2, and Powerful Zionists now openly geocoding Gaza openly - as they in USA, Ukraine, Russia did-doing in White Christian Ukrainian & Russian men.
If Nukes really existed as we been raised to believe, why is there any war? Anyone with Testicles & Nukes would declare Peace and outline Just UN, or we all die screaming in Nuke Fire from the sky .. as seems Just in this ever-worsening level or Hell.
As I explain my decision to vote for Brexit to each Eurotard I meet, usually whilst on holiday in Spain or Italy, “love Europe, hate the EU.” Two different things.
Fiona Walker people have been brainwashed into believing no one ever travelled anywhere within Europe before the EU came into existence, those of us old enough to remember that it was possible to the point millions of people did, actually seems to evade the thinking when it comes to discussing Brexit.
Brexit Derangement Syndrome, yet another tedious cult. We are now so advanced in the West that to be a cult member, be it climate change, Covid, Brexit is de rigeur.
It most certainly is the people. Or rather, ⅔ of the people, as in Canada, Australia etc al. It’s the craven atheist feminized populace that is the root problem. Politicians like Trudeau and Starmer reflect the will and character of the people. The US differs only in that the proportion of the morally retarded is closer to ½.
"Politicians like Trudeau and Starmer reflect the will and character of the people."
As a Starmer loathing Brit I beg to differ-our first past the post election system,voter apathy and rabid disappointment with the "Conservative" Government meant that Kneeler got in with a wide but very shallow majority-now that the voting population has seen what the reality is like his ratings are in the sink.He will be binned no later than the next election but may not make it that far.
Well it turns out a lot of the same brainwashing propaganda fed to the US was also fed abroad. We ought to stop fighting with each other and stomp out this blob thing. I wish Trump focused on that more than dividing us, especially Mexico and Canada. Making America Great Again isn’t just about the US. We’re gonna need our tres hermanos if we’re gonna replace China’s industrial complex
I truly don't believe it is nearly that many, and the recently imploding media monopoly is letting a lot more people than realized that before actually see that fact.
Our tards were really on display last night at the State of the Union, making clear their continued support for childhood cancer, men's rights to injure women in sports, rape and open borders.
Meanwhile, in other news, Zelensky is desperately going through his gifted copy of the official Scrabble Dictionary to find any word that means but is not spelled "apology."
Back last summer when I still had regular phone calls with my now FFFFG, I said that Trump was the only leader anywhere who didn't want to send soldiers to die needlessly, and she replied that soldiers join the army willingly and--I paraphrase--dying sometimes is part of the job they signed up for.
She herself is not a mother but all those brave European leaders who seem to think exactly as she does are all, themselves, parents. It's maybe the least of society's problems these days that some people think it's great to voluntarily excise the genitals of their children for a fantasy cause. Being such eager fans of excising the lives of other people's children is worse.
I keep asking europeans if they have the balls to tell an american mother that her son should go 'keep the peace' in ukraine so that the son of a german (or french, italian, belgian, etc) mother doesn't have to go.
I mainly get aggression as a response. Along with the phrase 'moral obligation'. It's all puzzling to me.
Missles WERE fired into Russia/Moscow during the recent WWIII previews, ‘member? We were supposed to be buying refreshments and not waiting in our seats for the Feature Presentation.
Not quite. Nuclear missiles. The ones that wipe out many square kilometres each. The ones that will cause mass scale death right across the majority of the planet.
Not the small scale weapons.
And yes, the nuclear weapons will hit the U S of A.
I'm with you on that, brother. But "not deployed missiles" is inaccurate in your statement. Missiles were launched into Russia from Ukraine by not-Ukrainians. If that's not gambling with WWIII then nothing is. Antony Blinken, V. Nuland, Obiden, we know who did it. Provocations.
Trust me, you get the same response even if you're asking your fellow pro-war countrymen in a European nation, why they aren't volunteering for service in Ukraine.
Aggression, snide remarks and lame-ass excuses about their careers being so important to the home nation they can't leave.
Otoh, I well remember the American reaction when we told the US that if they wanted to go play Empire in the MENA and Afghanistan sandboxes (with the phony WMD-excuse), they could send their own troops, and stop begging for ours. Same thing, really.
In my opinion, anyone being pro-war is morally obligated to sign up as a volunteer. And if we could the politicians, the bankers and the profiteers in the first line, I think we'd have world peace inside a week, tops.
At this risk of sounding like a Putin-lover, I know what you're saying. It does seem the overall conflict in the world that we are dealing with is Globalist vs Localist (or Nationalist if you prefer.) In that regard, Russia seems to be on the right side. Maybe not because of some big principled stance by the Russian leadership; maybe because the Globalists wouldn't let them in the club. Regardless, it might be a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" kind of thing.
If I'm not mistaken Putin was also a member of the WEF. Wasn't he there with Merkel, Trudeau, Macron...? Maybe he didn't like their plan and that's why everything is Russia's fault? What if he and Trump are allying against the whole globalist plan? Maybe THEY want the power and wish not to give it to the Globalists? Either way, making an enemy of Russia or the U.S. is just plum dumb and further proof of the incompetence of the "Eurotards". Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, always sounds like a pretty good idea to me.
It's really hard to explain Hillary Clinton's (and the rest's) pure hatred for Putin without resorting to some conjecture. You could be right. We might not ever know for sure.
PS: Every once in a while I tell my son sternly that God forbid we should ever be somewhere and shooting should break out, *I cover you with my body and not vice versa.*
Not sure who you mean by "you guys". I'm British, just to make that clear. But after visiting Kiev just before Maidan, and having great (generally drunken) chats with Ukrainian people, I sent a message to a guy who'd given me his business card. A very kind, friendly guy. Saying how sad I was that his country was in a war.
No deep analysis here, just a small reply: "I don't understand. We and the Russians, we have always been like brothers". Ambiguous, sure. But no connection, or even commensurability, to the proxy bullshit we non-Ukrainians have been subjected to in 2020-24,
We started it a *lot* earlier than that, by not adhering to the torrent of words in 1990 and 1991 about how NATO wouldn't ever expand eastward. A lot of European leaders echoed those comments as well. And given the rules, literally *any* member of NATO could have stopped it.
My father fought in WW2 to "stop Hitler"...When he got older, he. concluded that your country should never fight in a war unless they're invading your country...
Let’s not forget the prank that irony plays on us.
WWII started in 1939 to stop dictator Hitler getting Poland. It ended 5 years later, 60 million dead, Europe in ruins and bankrupt by giving Poland to dictator Stalin.
We are saving Ukraine from corrupt, undemocratic Russia and its oligarchs, so that corrupt, undemocratic Ukraine and its oligarchs can have it.
It all makes perfect sense, d’you see when you take irony into account.
And, more from irony - dictator “literally Hitler” Trump is the only one who wants peace and doing his best to get it against the machinations of the defenders of democracy and freedom.
I was working remotely for a company based in Ukraine when the Russians invaded. I shifted gears without a clutch from "being a unix sysadmin" to "assisting refugee evacuations" as the company *rapidly* relocated to Dubai.
And Big Z is asking countries to *deport back to Ukraine* refugees who are male and of age.
Well, we ought to remember the Spartans with horror and contempt.
And further to remember that in these modern days of an interrelated banking system, no war of blood is necessary. Aggression anywhere can be squelched without anyone getting into their cammies.
But as gotten into previously--then how would munitions factories pay for the lovely lifestyles of their home countries?
People who idolise the Spartans usually know nothing except what they've learned from reading Frank Miller's "300"-comic book (also a sleep-inducingly bad movie).
But it's a human thing to to only want the glossy fake-believe surface, not the gritty in-depth view, isn't it? If it wasn't, we wouldn't have (f.e.) pornography.
The funniest thing to me is the angry impotent can't-get-a-date when-is-Odin-returning wing of X and SubstackLand always all swoony over the fantasy of the Warrior Cult.
The thing about The Iliad and The Odyssey? Homer makes brutally clear the waste and shame of all that dead meat left on foreign fields while the women at home spend decades trying to fight off the beta suitors who finally have an opportunity to grab 'emselves some alpha mates.
Weapon makers impoverish their home countries. They also dominate the ruling regime, in concert with the pharmaceutical and other big-money businesses, to the great detriment of the people.
As I have commented before, any nation with nukes and good delivery system, with core military raised with honor and virtue could end war and establish a good world-wide Justice system. Novem Abrahamic Justice System in levels - each court rules on the national, State, Local, international laws passed by secular Gov. Must not go against the basic 10 Commandments and Sane universal Ethics.
Each court with 9 (Novem) members; 3 Orthodox Christian, Muslim, Jewish Justices.
Systems like that in place. With a ruler willing to send Nukes targeting the most powerful international families when States or institutional, corp, religious, forces start killing or violating laws, with warnings to populations in area that nukes will kill them and families unless the heads of powerful are presented at rulers feet so he can piss on them, Or nukes will fly and we all may die.
Seems simple and any man that has suffered the Satanic minions in this level Hell will fire those nukes because our children cleanly dead and in God's arms is better then the vile tormenting horror those powerful force on many today and more tomorrow. 3+ Billions dead seems a small price to return Sanity and break Satan's Grip on us all. (3+ billions is an est. of unborn tortured to death worldwide in my lifetime .. a Just price, yes?)
You need to widen your world view beyond the Abrahamic. All 3 abrahamic systems have been responsible for the greatest violence, terror, cruelty, tyranny and genocide history has known. And it still goes on.
Take a look at the eastern systems which have given us no religious wars but instead tolerance, spirituality and the greatest achievements of human civilization.
Ken, It seems that a century of Modernists Communist anti-white anti-men anti-Christian false-Witnessing and false-history has successfully worked on you, reputational damage with lies and censoring the good. When a system uses the same slimy evil methods as a vicious 13-yo girl, you can assume Satanic forces and goals are in-play.
Of the 3, Christianity commands us to be Just and Merciful to all peoples including enemies, Catholicism has the longest history of the Christians and least history you accuse. All 3 know that God requires Justice, and so make the best law and judges.
Eastern religions are filled with Caste systems and fail as Jews and Muslims do, the 'us and them' different justice and treatments.
Eastern religions and those cultures have along bloody history. Not motivated by Evangelizing such as Islam has, 'Submit or Die', and the responding Christian sects defending Europe and freeing the Holy-Land from Islam, but Kengus Kon(sp?) came out of the east, yes?
This Novem Justice System would Judge laws passed by governments and so require them to be Just and Merciful. What reasons could anyone have against that kind of Check on governments? Would baby-murder and many other laws we now suffer and die from in the West been allowed?
No it's just a stupid idea. I'm not going to be ruled by a council of kikes, sand niggers and Russians. Also, there's no agreed upon "Sane universal Ethics". Also, there's no mechanism to stop your "council" from abusing their power. Idiotic idea.
I know a young man of around 20 who is now in the US army. I tried to imagine that I lived in WWII now, and that the son of my friends was to cross the pond and die here to liberate me and my family. I cannot imagine that I would wish for that in any scenario.
How can one morally justify fighting for a country that is nothing but corruption, in the top 3 on human trafficking lists, is anti free speech... basically anti everything that is moral? That's like fighting on the side of the rapist.
I'm guessing that FFFFG stands for, in part, 'former fan girl'? In any case, what a bizarre thing for her to say . Nobody argues that dying isn't sometimes part of a soldier's job. It's dying NEEDLESSLY we seek to minimize. And literally every Russian and Ukrainian war death since Zelensky walked out of the Istanbul talks in April 2022 has been utterly unnecessary.
"Former Friend From Fifth Grade." After 65 years, interrupted by several lengthy times out, I'm out. Not least because she insisted that anything I knew that she did not know was because I was lost in The Dark Web.
And though she voted for Trump once, the first time and I have voted for Trump once, this final time, she now hates him with an irrationality that cannot easily be captured in a comment. I finally, finally was done the day she insisted that the assassination attempt was staged and though it was a little puzzling that a rally-goer was killed and others wounded, "Trump doesn't care what happens to other people so..."
Of course to understand her one must go back to our fifth grade classroom, when she said about herself, "I hate people." Never stopped.
Never forget. These are the same idiots who murdered their best and brightest in the mud of France in 1914 and don’t seem to possess a modicum of rationality to this day.
I wonder if America’s people are the way they are because our rampant gun culture, especially in the West, tended to eliminate the idiots.
Oh heck. There's never been any shortage of idiots here.
But every group that immigrated here in the early days, aside from the aristocrats and merchants at the top of the social order in the Jamestown Colony who started everything off, or the indentured servants thereof who were pretty much slaves, had refused to conform to mainstream society in Europe, whatever that was, locally, regionally or otherwise, and had an intensely bad reaction to being told what to do by outsiders.
To be an American is to be of the ruffian sort. Taken a long time but a lot more of us now than before are really beginning to appreciate that which makes us not Europeans.
Even despite all them Masterpiece Theater dramas trying to keep us worshipful of other peoples' gentry.
This. The American idea and American spirit were a new thing on the world stage and inculcated redskin/redneck values OVER European scientific success produced a unique animal that should not be embarrassed.
Pretty much Trump’s base, I guess so obviously ascending
The important thing was that anyone could become a real American. No pedigree required and financial success was your entree to high society and not an ancestral estate.
That's a concept so unique that plenty of Americans fail to understand it themselves.
WWI was the last war that ruling class sent their sons to front lines and risked death. Back when ruling class was widely WASP (White [Wealthy] Anglo-Saxon Protestants) and as Christians was raised to pretend to care for lesser Classes, ..
.. unlike the last Century where Zionists have taken power, and hate us all and would have us and all we love suffering till dead for a dollar .. we all Palestinians now.
The Freemasons and pre-Zionists anti-Catholic & anti-Christians White European ancestors have been arranging the murder (genocide) of the Best Bravest most virtuous of us in each generation by contriving brothers-killing-brothers wars; French Rev., CivilWar, WWI, Holodomor, WWII, .., Ukraine-Russian Holodomor Part II.
Needless genocide, now with rotted anti-Christian ruling elites; family destruction & poverty, and all institutions actively hostile.
'Rampant gun culture' sounds like someone wants gun grabbing like in Australia where we watched covid-Nazi gov beating peaceful protesters and non-mask wears, old women on ground peppersprayed by israeli trained police .. and not wonder if their gov would have done that if population armed? Yellow-Vets in France?
Took me 65 years to realize that she likely has the sort of brain miswiring that falls under the grab-all label of "autistic." She is not callous so much as a very desperately unhappy person who was always out of sync with her peers because she was skipped a few grades and entered college at 16. It's been essential to her self-esteem that others should not be as smart as she; anything I say she must generally contradict from her position of superior discernment. She doesn't actually want people to suffer but she has never been able to find a comfortable place in the world for herself.
I think your friend likely never grasped the difference between "intelligence" and "knowledge".
In many cases -- not to toot my own horn too much -- I am not-infrequently the most *intelligent* person in any given conversation, in terms of raw horsepower. But I did fortunately at some point realize that did not mean I was the person with the most *knowledge* in any given conversation. One of the greatest realizations I ever had was that while I may indeed might be the smartest person in the room at any given time, that doesn't translate to equal quantities of either knowledge or wisdom.
Intelligence is like processing power. It's a great thing to have on tap. But without appropriate data, it's just sitting idle. I babysit a lot of servers which without the inputs from a whole lot of people would just be turning a great deal of electricity into very expensive heat.
Her father taught his two daughters to mock everyone and consider them inferior--not least because he himself was a very short guy with a thumb lost in childhood to an accident and his sense of manhood was therefore fully invested in thinking himself the brainiest guy around.
So they've spent their lives ensuring nobody cheats them out of a nickel and now they are the living stereotype of two miserable old women. It is too bad because each always has had a certain natural charm but the crazy now far outweighs the sense of fun. They were taught never to take a chance, never to risk security. So they've got great bank accounts and each lives in a nice house and they fight all the time about where they'll go to get ice cream because one doesn't want to miss two-fer day and the other doesn't like the choices available.
Anyway it was God's grace instead of being sensible like them I made all sorts of idiotic choices that all turned out for the best.
"Being such eager fans of excising the lives of other people's children is worse."
As the neocons here in America have been to willing to do since the beginning of the Ukraine/Russia war. Proudly wearing the blue and yellow on their suit lapels and golf shirts, and stepping over the thousands (or is it tens of thousands) of Ukrainian bodies to weaken Russia.
When have conservatives in the US not met a war they didn't want to ship other people's kids off to fight? "Neocons" is such a sneaky term. Good old ordinary Republicans have always been happy to follow any Republican President into enthusiastically voting for the slaughter of other people's kids.
The preternatural magic of Trump is in being not actually a Republican and being able to force Republicans in Congress to bend to his will. Example of the week: Lindsay Graham.
As someone in the Military - yes, we are prepared to die for our Nation. It's in the job description. The very first Article in the AFCC - "I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard our country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defence".
No matter who our geopolitical enemy is, I am prepared to die to ensure that they do not hold power over my nation and inflict devastation upon it. If that is Russia, so be it. I would rather fight the Chinese, but I would also like to ensure the former Soviets don't get too uppity and try to realize their longstanding dream of crushing the United States under its boot.
I would much rather die on the beaches of Europe than in the deserts of shitistan.
Have you ever fought for anything? Are you a soldier?
I signed up to fight. Everyone else I know did too. It's almost worse to deprive us of our purpose.
Look into the Arditi and the Warrior Spirit. Sitting behind a keyboard and moralfagging for a group of people who want nothing more than to shed blood for God and Country will get you nothing but mocked.
How quickly would Peace spread round the world if our Sickened Society and soul-Crippled Loveless womanhood not allowed to murder our children and a random wealthy, middleClass, and poor post menopause woman died for each man that her votes supported dying in endless wars.
Rereading 'A farewell to Arms' a woman psycho nurse is accusing the main character of trying to avoid returning to the fighting front - which was false accusation - and I thought she could be dressed as a man soldier and placed in the front lines, her and all male-hating man-murdering walking ungrateful women like that.
.. and perhaps pay more in Taxes then they take (longer lives, less income taxes, more benefits, ..)
Nothing personal but I remember before insane baby-murder on whim was law, we had a sane society where most married and older women were a blessing and not generally a pile of poisonous vomit sexually mutilating our and children's minds-bodies-souls as if many not better Gone from society they destroying.
Agree entirely with this assessment. The EU are going to be given a sobering lesson in what hard power means versus the meaningless bullshit that they come out with.
The Swedish Greens decided last year to one-up the non-detached caps:
Old clothes may no longer be sorted as "burnables", but are to be sorted separately, so that they can be rendered down into raw materials to make new clothes from.
There's no logistics in place for this, the EROI for recycling is higher than simply buying new clothes, and since lots of items of clothing are of mixed materials (cotton/nylon or some other combo) the respective fibers must first be separated.
Oh, and there's a loop-hole: severly dirtied clothing may be put in the "burnables" bin. Such as rags used to clean up oil spill in your garage.
Being "Green" seems to me ought to be listed in the DSM/ICD manuals.
"oil spill in your garage"?!? This requires immediate government intercession and remediation efforts! Your property is now a "brown field," which will be confiscated and sold to pay for the clean up, while you are prosecuted for Crimes Against Gaia! Or, as someone who was once famous remarked... "How dare you!"
Biden & NATO ignored Putin’s warnings for years, they kept encroaching closer & closer to Russia’s borders, encircling their territory. Threatening to admit Ukraine into NATO was the last straw for Putin, not to mention the Biolabs in Ukraine that Victoria Nuland admitted to. Biden & Europe were the cause for this war & if they can’t see that then they are more hopeless than even you described them. PDJT is trying to undo all this damage the best that he can. Unfortunately he can’t bring back all the dead wasted soldiers used as pawns in this totally pointless preventative war. The previous American governments with Biden, Kerry, HRC, Romney meddling with money laundering, Medibiota & regime change in 2014 didn’t help matters either. Zelensky is an embarrassment, & a disgrace ( remember his disgusting video) & his portrayal of the President of Ukraine in a TV show when he was an ‘entertainer’ before being installed as ‘president,’ he is a joke as a leader of any country.
Don't forget the meddling by EU28 led by Baroness Ashton at the time of the leadership change enacted by the CIA in 2014.
Ukraine has made and been subjected to decades of bad decisions, with the regular citizens paying for the consequences. Check out the Antonov design contract with the Russian Federation in the early 2000's - lots of cash, no aircraft. Hmmmmm. Where have we seen that before?
As I suspect the real powerful ruling international families orchestrated the Cold War for global population control and continued targeted racists and religious genocide, and that Russia Zionist Ologarcts and USA Zionists controlling Federal Gov and more and Zionists and supporters in Ukraine contrived the Ukraine-Russian Holodomor Part II.
Putin has not acted as if he - and his masters - would if they did not want to extend the killing of White Christian men, and those BioLabs are a good example. Biolabs to create tailored bioweapon that kills white (Christian) Slovik peoples as Zionists Bolsheviks did to 10+ millions of White Christian Ukrainians in Holodomor .. as covid was less deadly to Chinese and most intelligent sub-tribe of Jews once released from Chinese Bioweapon lab, do you think those Ukraine Bioweapons labs were creating something that only killed White Slovik peoples?
And it sure seems like rulers that discovered such biolabs would have reacted more violently if they had not supported such work already, instead only caring about Nukes that could kill him and his non-Slovik Masters.
Putin could have ended the fighting quickly by announcing and then sending a dummy ICBM from Pacific Ocean Sub over the USA and Washington, over Europe and Ukraine into ocean or NorthPole Ice, as a clear message that they are done with the masturbation murders & Genocide, Death comes next, and join him in death worldwide, including our wommans that never are threaten no matter how they vote.
"She furthermore explained that the United States aren’t our partners anymore, and then she also said that we have to do everything to ensure the United States continues to be our partner, among other things by explaining to the Americans that there will be 'consequences' if they cease being our partners."
Would someone explain what these consequences could be? Other than, 'We'll stop buying Apple products'? (Which would presumably mean that Ireland would also kick Apple and it's $14 billion in taxes out of the country).
Severe scoldings from menopausal women masquerading as "leaders". Harsh rebukes from European journalists. Further reminders that Trump is Hitler, oh wait Putin is Hitler and Trump is Chamberlain or something.
Not sure. The balance of trade between EU27+UK and USA is not quite as per the USA MSM spin.
Since mid-2024 we have been subjected to endless sniping from all side of the USA. That has been very interesting to observe. Clearly we are due to be punished, as if blowing up Nordstream I and Nordstream 2 wasn't enough.
I loved Europe as a young person. I grew up with relatives and family friends who’d fought in WWII and always had a deep respect for the culture and people. Since the EU started, however, and more recently with the open migration policies, social welfare crap, Covid and censorship dictatorships… no. And our country is a mess and broke. Trillions are gone without a trace, and Zelenskyy and co got a walloping share (also mostly gone without a trace). 80 years has brought a lot of social changes and I’m really ok with reevaluating all of it. And zero more for Ukraine.
How many of those billions went throughout EU and those nations leaders and the UK leaders, Western and other countries' leaders as Bribes, or threats, as the APAC israeli lobby has long ago controlled Washington with kick-backs on those billions we give every year to them, as well as bribes and threats to Arab's leaders to suppress their populations?
Weapons to groups of terrorists throughout middle-east, Africa, elsewhere.
It's not hard to imagine that the money and weapons were not getting to where those Zionist Masters will it all to go, with a lot of extra to pass around.
Speaking as a Canadian under the Liberal ruler Justin Trudeau’s 9+ year long regime I’d say his virtuous long in the tooth absolutely disrespectful response, Ontario premier Doug Ford’s bat shit crazy response and then last but not least Chrystia Freeland’s even more bat shit crazy looney tunes outrageous response to the US 25% tariffs, our so called leaders well deserve them!
We are going to a federal election very soon now 🤞with hopefully a strong majority win for a Conservative government for 4+ years with a new mandate who’s leader Pierre Poilievre will be much better at being able to communicate/ negotiate with President Trump. He has strong Conservative values which resemble the Republicans to some degree whilst the Trudeau soon to be Carbon Tax Carney Liberals loved Biden and Kamala the EU heads of state, France, the UK, woke ideologies with the carbon net zero along with the mass immigration literally destroying all of our economies and our nations.
I have seen reporting that the polls in Canada have completely flipped and the Liberals hold the lead, all due to Canada's hatred of Donald Trump. For Canada's sake, I hope this is not true. This American wishes for fair trade and friendly relations with our northern neighbor.
I wish for the same thing Susan, my daughter lives in the US!
Yes very very unfortunate timing on Donald Trump’s part because the Liberals have absolutely grabbed onto this golden opportunity of Trump imposing 25% tariffs and are using it fully to their advantage to rally their base “to vote for us cause we’re the only party that can take on big bully President Trump!”
Trudeau prorogued/ shut down our parliament in beginning of January so we the people have had NO representation at all throughout this entire ordeal and the Liberals are now running against big bad Donald Trump instead of against the leader of the opposition our Conservative leader cause they had nothing to use to win in their fight against him! In fact they have already stolen a number of his campaign policy promises the lying sob’s.
So Trump is actually helping the Liberals to make a significant comeback, but I don’t believe all those polls as many are left leaning and the fake news msm is pushing out these poll numbers favouring the Liberals at high speed to help support Carney. One less biased poll still shows Conservatives with a 12 point lead. I will be voting Conservative 💯!
Trudeau has been for Canada what Obama and Biden were to the US. I hope your party, the Conservatives wins the upcoming election and our two countries can work together to improve the lives of all Canadians and Americans.
Yes I totally agree with that statement and Trudeau also took full advantage of the covid situation and called a sudden snap election in 2021 dreaming he’d get a majority government which he didn’t and less than 1/3 of Canadians even got out to vote! He got another minority government.
Thank you for your kind words of support Susan, may they come to pass.
After the Globalists Elites NAFTA destruction of the [White Christian] middle-class, shipping manufacturing offshore (paid-for by our taxes) I can support Tariffs as long as they are designed and in-place long enough to return some of those manufacturing middle-class jobs, and help the USA be less dependent.
It is hard to imagine all the income-taxes, local sales taxes, as well as that middleclass healthy large families that was intentionally destroyed by those elites. Poverty, homelessness, sterile families, .., wage suppression, Usury debt and medical-insurance enslavement, endless needless suffering .. kind of hard not to decide that the only families doing very well are connected to those Satanic minions with sickness, suffering, ignorance, confusion, poverty, homelessness, childless, familyless, OD, suiciding, .., pain, death and Hell.
They hate us and want us all suffering till death. Globalists! We are all Palestinians now, while they watch use and laugh as we suffering till death.
Wonder with me when israeli Lobbies like APAC took over control of West, Federal and other governments.
POSITIVE INCENTIVES: Many Eurotards owe their careers to the Blob from an early age, sometimes in the second generation. Exhibit 1: Ursula von der Lyin', née Albrecht. Albrecht senior was an early Eurocrat in Brussels, Ursula went to school in Brussels. Ursula later lived in Palo Alto, California for several years.
NEGATIVE INCENTIVES: It has been speculated that videos are made as a rite of passage for the ambitious pol. Note that for this to work, the acts recorded must be of such a nature that even a senior politician could not talk her way out of the situation if the videos were to be made public many years later.
And, if unfortunately there is no alternative, that strategic weaponry WILL be used very effectively to tell the miscreants to "wrap it up" and come to the negotiating table as ADULTS.
I emphatically agree with Inarguable Point Number Two. Europe would be far better off not relying on the American defense umbrella. Among other benefits, requiring NATO countries to provide for their own defense would free them from the luxury belief that their real enemy is a carbon molecule and that they can run a progressing industrial economy on windmills and sunshine.
I think it is increasingly likely Z is going to meet Ngo Dinh Diem’s fate, and soon. He has enough internal enemies now; suspension of aid I think amounts to Z’s dëath warrant being signed. I wonder how much longer does he have?
Indeed I saw musk called for him to be able to step down and get amnesty somewhere or he'll never agree to a peace treaty because he knows his fate is sealed. As much as I don't want him to get away with anything, stopping the war is the most important thing for all living creatures on this earth.
Zelenzki could rent German SS Stormtrooper uniforms from German museums IF Trump withholds any more weapons .The sight of them could cause the Russians to surrender .
The realization of the irrelevance of the EU's various leaders (and the countries they lead) in world affairs has been a long time coming, but is also still a ways off in the future. At present, the fear of this irrelevance has slammed home, however. It's going to be a while for them to work through the stages of grief. One wonders how long we'll stay at "anger."
I question your "we". On an earlier Eugyppius post I speculated that the Great Zelensky Diss might be some "4D-chess" Trump move to make we Europeans hate our "leaders" even more.
I think my speculations about Trump's intentions and infinite manipulation-skills are irrelevant. We Europeans are simply going to hate our "leaders" more and more, but Trump didn't start that, it was already there.
It becomes a question of personal anger-management. The big cheeses are proving to be total 'tards at this: we have to be better, ga'canny and manage our energy.
At current operational tempo the entire German main battle tank force would be wiped out in about ten days fighting in Kursk. Throw in every other EU tank outside of Poland and they still wouldn’t survive a month.
How long did that German think tank say it would take to rebuild the Bundeswehr back to Cold War levels? 20 years was it?
"Then a vacant Baerbock said we need to find partners across the world, including in the Golf states"
Like California, Arizona, and Florida? 😆
"German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, meanwhile, deplored this “new era of lawlessness,” emphasising that “For us, it is clear that we stand firmly by the side of sovereign and free Ukraine.”
It may be tough for her to explain the hard numbers that show that Germany and other European countries, continue to spend more money on cheap Russian oil than they send to defend Ukraine. They are literally financing this war for Russia.
Tucker Carlson: "A recent Finland-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air study concluded that European Union countries spent roughly $23 billion on Russian fossil fuels last year while sending Ukraine less than $20 billion in aid. Turkey, a NATO country but not an EU member, sent Russia another $35 billion.
"[Trump] can force European politicians to accept whatever peace deal he happens to conclude by the mere threat of withdrawing the American security umbrella."
Trump is now hobbled by a law co-sponsored by his own Secretary of State, Marco Rubio:
“Since December 2023, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024 includes a provision (Section 1250A) that restricts presidential authority to unilaterally withdraw from NATO. It states that the president cannot “suspend, terminate, denounce, or withdraw” the U.S. from NATO without either:
Two-thirds Senate approval (67 votes if all 100 senators are present and voting), or
An Act of Congress (a bill passed by majorities in both the House and Senate, subject to presidential signature or veto override)."
outright withdrawing from NATO isn't necessary to give Euros the vapours, even talking about pulling out soldiers is enough to cause serious panic, as we saw after the Vance and Hegseth speeches.
"It may be tough for her to explain the hard numbers that show that Germany and other European countries, continue to spend more money on cheap Russian oil than they send to defend Ukraine. They are literally financing this war for Russia."
That law does not sound like it will stand SCOTUS review, but if it does then couldn't Pres. Trump command withdraw of equipment and military presence, close bases, and such?
With EU's crazy WWIII talk, he must have the power to avoid getting sucked into wars they purposely start, start with the Goal to drag USA back-in.
QUOTE: Since December 2023, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) ... restricts presidential authority to unilaterally withdraw from NATO.
WITHDRAWAL from an international treaty (the T in NATO stands for treaty) is fully within the President's executive authority under Article II of the Constitution.
Congress purporting to restrict the President's fundamental power is plainly unconstitutional and thus void, as Congress will have been aware when it passed the provision in 2023.
Your 4 points are indeed inarguable. A point I would love to see addressed by any eurotardic media source or politician:
* How exactly does the 'security alliance' benefit americans?
Because alliances are supposed to be mutually beneficial. And I all I hear is whinging about why america is obligated to maintain it. But nothing about why america would want to maintain it.
Maybe there are good reasons. But I haven't heard them.
Fascinating to read the wildly differing articles following “that” White House meeting. I had to go back twice to one I saw today saying “In the aftermath of President Zelensky’s obnoxious treatment in the White House ….” as I wondered if the author had seen a different press conference to the one I saw. Needless to say this was in a British on-line publication.
Because mainstream reporting is limited to the final minutes of the press conference video and because they stick to the Zelensky is a war hero V Trump is always bad narrative.
“Eurotards”…I like it. Not the people, the bureaucrats pretending to be “leaders”. I deeply admire the European people.
Excellent commentary. I pray I live to see the EU Ponzi scheme collapse under the fraud of their massive expense accounts.
Pretty sure I’m not the only American who suddenly wonders what the benefit it is to be a NATO member country. We can use the savings to pay for any number of things that are useful at home. And this recent EU leader nastiness sure seems like a knife in the back from a bunch of ungrateful welfare parasites who take our generosity for granted.
This is the truth- sometimes an entirely beneficial alliance succeeds in its goals and thus obviates itself. NATO should have dissolved after 1992 or invited Russia to join us “Christian” nations in opposing China. The Blob had other ideas.
But it’s not too late and I’m glad we have a president who realizes that. But it always takes two (or more) for a deal and Trump can’t enforce peace on his own.
However, Trump and Putin working together can pretty much dictate any deal they want. lol. Betcha y’all Eurotards wishing you had some nukes NOW. Heh.
Silly you. They do have their own nukes. DeGaulle was insightful enough to not trust America. Funny how prescient he was.
Britain has them too, which only underlines the absurdity of 500 million Europeans asking a nation of 300 million to help them defend themselves against a nation of 140 million which has one-tenth the economy of the EU.
While I adore the sentiment of the gentleman saying it, America is at least 330 million actual citizens by now. Though who knows what the true current population of the country is.
Well, probably the last 30 million - illegals.
Oof. All that means is that if Russia is backed into a corner and feels the need to use nukes on Europe, she will take out France first.
Russia won't need them against present-day France. A brigade of Cossack horsemen armed with Kalashnikovs and a surrender agreement should be sufficient.
Too funny!! Macron would probably arm the immigrants and then realize too late that was a bad idea.
Those cossacks are Ukranian and fighting Russia with a passion unseen in modern history. The only thing that will defeat them is a knife in the back by America.
Could be, or Russia will back down. Think the bombardment of Singapore by the Japanese, after their last volleys they gave the British general one last ultimatum. The Brits surrendered only to find out that the Japanese had no more ammunition.
Pound for pound, the Ukrainians have outfought their Russian adversary, but not by enough to make up for Russian numerical superiority. So, the Ukrainians are slowly losing, even with US support. Without US support they lose fast. The US is not going to go to war with Russia to protect Ukraine. The risk is too great. The Europeans are neither able nor willing to actually join the fight. Talking won’t do the job. The war is expensive (unaffordable) and there are other military matters requiring US attention. A cease fire and subsequent European military buildup are essential. The Eurotards and the US Democrat Party are both mentally befuddled by this state of affairs. They are given to magical thinking. “This can go on indefinitely.” “This won’t go nuclear.” “The Ukrainians can push the Russians back.” (What should you expect from people who can’t tell the difference between a man and a woman?). We must get these people out of office before they get us all killed. We are damned lucky this hasn’t gone sideways already.
They haven't outfought the Russians, pound for pound, or otherwise. They are hemorrhaging men and pretending 'tis but a scratch.
Only one of the two belligerents has needed forced mobilisation, while the other continues gaining territory with volunteers.
An attacker assaulting prepared defences — as in the Donbas — should need larger formations (battalion versus company, or brigade versus battalion, for example) and should suffer proportionately larger casualties. Instead, you have 6 man Russian assault squads taking trenches and bunkers with minimal casualties.
Volunteers? Like from north korea? Lol
10,000 NoKos, 500,000 volunteers.
The Russian conscripts are all inside her borders, not in Ukraine.
Can’t speak for the Eurotards, but the US Dems are lining their pockets with laundered money from this farce. Plenty of Republicans also. Those howling the loudest for the US to continue their involvement with this mess are gaining the most. I’d like to keep everyone out of war, not just my child.
Welcome to the party. Some of us have been hanging out in the kitchen for thirty years at this point. :D
thirty years is just about right too. That's when it was no longer necessary or a force for good.
That was right about the middle of high school for me, and someone had pointed out that NATO had *achieved its goal* of containing the Soviet Union, and was now wandering off into adventurism it had absolutely no business in, a'la Bosnia et. al. And in my burgeoning libertarianism, I realized, "Oh! We should put that toy down, now."
When we added the first former members of the Warsaw Pact in '99, I saw the ultimate wisdom of that position. And look, here we are.
no government program ever dies, they just get repurposed and enlarged.
A thing which saddened high school era libertarian Warmek, and saddens middle aged libertarian Warmek even more.
Alas.
Though, if Trump can keep DOGE on task, we might actually see a reversal of that trend, which would be pretty amazing.
1992 disbandment of NATO would have been right under the Cold War paradigm. And treating those Nations and Populations fairly would have been Christian of us, but West has been unborn torturing-to-death while silently screaming sacrifice worshippers of Satan like our Z. Masters for too long for our leaders to act humanely.
Imagine if this GreatSatan trusted in Nuke Bombs and missiles enough to converted military bases throughout Europe, middle-east, Asia into economic trade and development hubs, perhaps linked by high-speed Rail? And no endless wars for israel but invested money in manufacturing, sane job and education training here and in regions of world we could help and be benefactors - like China does?
I decided that nuke weapons have been a false reality psychop that Ruling international families use to drive fear and population control, Cold-war, as needless war has been anti-Christian genocidal motivations - French Rev, CivilWar, WWI, WWII, Holodomor, Armenian Genocide, .., now Holodomor Part2, and Powerful Zionists now openly geocoding Gaza openly - as they in USA, Ukraine, Russia did-doing in White Christian Ukrainian & Russian men.
If Nukes really existed as we been raised to believe, why is there any war? Anyone with Testicles & Nukes would declare Peace and outline Just UN, or we all die screaming in Nuke Fire from the sky .. as seems Just in this ever-worsening level or Hell.
Something to consider.
God Bless., Steve
> Powerful Zionists now openly geocoding Gaza openly
*sigh*
And you had been doing so well...
I mean, unless you actually *meant* "geocoding", which would, admittedly, be the first time I had seen the Jews accused of *that*...
"I know your zip code! I KNOW YOUR ZIP CODE!"
As a Brit, I agree with you, your patience must be exhausted.
Bingo, Art.
As I explain my decision to vote for Brexit to each Eurotard I meet, usually whilst on holiday in Spain or Italy, “love Europe, hate the EU.” Two different things.
Fiona Walker people have been brainwashed into believing no one ever travelled anywhere within Europe before the EU came into existence, those of us old enough to remember that it was possible to the point millions of people did, actually seems to evade the thinking when it comes to discussing Brexit.
Brexit Derangement Syndrome, yet another tedious cult. We are now so advanced in the West that to be a cult member, be it climate change, Covid, Brexit is de rigeur.
Well said.
It most certainly is the people. Or rather, ⅔ of the people, as in Canada, Australia etc al. It’s the craven atheist feminized populace that is the root problem. Politicians like Trudeau and Starmer reflect the will and character of the people. The US differs only in that the proportion of the morally retarded is closer to ½.
"Politicians like Trudeau and Starmer reflect the will and character of the people."
As a Starmer loathing Brit I beg to differ-our first past the post election system,voter apathy and rabid disappointment with the "Conservative" Government meant that Kneeler got in with a wide but very shallow majority-now that the voting population has seen what the reality is like his ratings are in the sink.He will be binned no later than the next election but may not make it that far.
And Trudeau has no reflection
I think of him as Narcissus but he is a special type of 'tard'!
https://baldmichael.substack.com/p/silly-saturday-sovietk-turdo-the?utm_source=publication-search
Like a vampire?
Starmer took the knee. I think he could do with taking the knee where it hurts!
https://baldmichael.substack.com/p/keir-starmer-british-politician-and?utm_source=publication-search
WE might not make it that far, so determined is he to destroy the UK forthwith. Today's gambit - lighter sentences for all but whitey
Well it turns out a lot of the same brainwashing propaganda fed to the US was also fed abroad. We ought to stop fighting with each other and stomp out this blob thing. I wish Trump focused on that more than dividing us, especially Mexico and Canada. Making America Great Again isn’t just about the US. We’re gonna need our tres hermanos if we’re gonna replace China’s industrial complex
I truly don't believe it is nearly that many, and the recently imploding media monopoly is letting a lot more people than realized that before actually see that fact.
"Eurotards" is good, but I personally prefer "Eurotrash".....
Eurotrash belongs to the good old days. Nothing to do anymore with the ‘tards of today.
Right. The ‘tards are in charge and the ‘trash are just the proles dancing and partying with a hedonistic ideology.
Oh, that's a different aesthetic entirely.
Eurotrash just makes me think of grown men wearing shoes without socks. I think the tard is entirely necessary to describe those in charge now.
Euroturds. And Kier Stoma (sh*t bag)
I would go with that. Eurotards will anagram to 'aeroturds', flying turds as in when sh1t hits the fan!
Oh, I like it! van der Leyen à la lanterne! Antoine de Caunes for EU Commissioner!
I heard euroweenies the other day and loved it.
Of course we have more than enough of our very own Ameritards, Amertrash, and Ameriweenies here too - all throwig temper tantrums.
Our tards were really on display last night at the State of the Union, making clear their continued support for childhood cancer, men's rights to injure women in sports, rape and open borders.
There is another association that combines with an Old English word that is still in use today, that links posteria issues to certain types of people.
And then there are the recently ousted Ameritards. Both identical in form and fashion. Except for, I'm not sure who's more dangerous.
Meanwhile, in other news, Zelensky is desperately going through his gifted copy of the official Scrabble Dictionary to find any word that means but is not spelled "apology."
Back last summer when I still had regular phone calls with my now FFFFG, I said that Trump was the only leader anywhere who didn't want to send soldiers to die needlessly, and she replied that soldiers join the army willingly and--I paraphrase--dying sometimes is part of the job they signed up for.
She herself is not a mother but all those brave European leaders who seem to think exactly as she does are all, themselves, parents. It's maybe the least of society's problems these days that some people think it's great to voluntarily excise the genitals of their children for a fantasy cause. Being such eager fans of excising the lives of other people's children is worse.
I keep asking europeans if they have the balls to tell an american mother that her son should go 'keep the peace' in ukraine so that the son of a german (or french, italian, belgian, etc) mother doesn't have to go.
I mainly get aggression as a response. Along with the phrase 'moral obligation'. It's all puzzling to me.
It's not instead of but as well as.
In any event, this entire event is futile.
The Ukrainian political twits can not destroy Russia, and nobody else will put their army into play against Russia.
Thank goodness Russia and USA have been considerate and not deployed missiles.
Long may that continue - and the war must stop. Now.
Missles WERE fired into Russia/Moscow during the recent WWIII previews, ‘member? We were supposed to be buying refreshments and not waiting in our seats for the Feature Presentation.
Not quite. Nuclear missiles. The ones that wipe out many square kilometres each. The ones that will cause mass scale death right across the majority of the planet.
Not the small scale weapons.
And yes, the nuclear weapons will hit the U S of A.
I'm with you on that, brother. But "not deployed missiles" is inaccurate in your statement. Missiles were launched into Russia from Ukraine by not-Ukrainians. If that's not gambling with WWIII then nothing is. Antony Blinken, V. Nuland, Obiden, we know who did it. Provocations.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewvrbvEckxQ
Trust me, you get the same response even if you're asking your fellow pro-war countrymen in a European nation, why they aren't volunteering for service in Ukraine.
Aggression, snide remarks and lame-ass excuses about their careers being so important to the home nation they can't leave.
Otoh, I well remember the American reaction when we told the US that if they wanted to go play Empire in the MENA and Afghanistan sandboxes (with the phony WMD-excuse), they could send their own troops, and stop begging for ours. Same thing, really.
In my opinion, anyone being pro-war is morally obligated to sign up as a volunteer. And if we could the politicians, the bankers and the profiteers in the first line, I think we'd have world peace inside a week, tops.
If I were forced to fight in this, as a Western European I'd rather be on Russia's side.
At this risk of sounding like a Putin-lover, I know what you're saying. It does seem the overall conflict in the world that we are dealing with is Globalist vs Localist (or Nationalist if you prefer.) In that regard, Russia seems to be on the right side. Maybe not because of some big principled stance by the Russian leadership; maybe because the Globalists wouldn't let them in the club. Regardless, it might be a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" kind of thing.
If I'm not mistaken Putin was also a member of the WEF. Wasn't he there with Merkel, Trudeau, Macron...? Maybe he didn't like their plan and that's why everything is Russia's fault? What if he and Trump are allying against the whole globalist plan? Maybe THEY want the power and wish not to give it to the Globalists? Either way, making an enemy of Russia or the U.S. is just plum dumb and further proof of the incompetence of the "Eurotards". Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, always sounds like a pretty good idea to me.
It's really hard to explain Hillary Clinton's (and the rest's) pure hatred for Putin without resorting to some conjecture. You could be right. We might not ever know for sure.
Amen!
PS: Every once in a while I tell my son sternly that God forbid we should ever be somewhere and shooting should break out, *I cover you with my body and not vice versa.*
I ain't never gonna stop being his ma.
As a father I am the same.
We don't raise them to die for politicians lies.
To be fair, it was you guys that started this with the blob-driven Maidan Revolution. Together with decades of moving NATO ever more Eastward.
Ok, Boris Johnson played a part, but only because the CIA-USAID had already set it up.
Not sure who you mean by "you guys". I'm British, just to make that clear. But after visiting Kiev just before Maidan, and having great (generally drunken) chats with Ukrainian people, I sent a message to a guy who'd given me his business card. A very kind, friendly guy. Saying how sad I was that his country was in a war.
No deep analysis here, just a small reply: "I don't understand. We and the Russians, we have always been like brothers". Ambiguous, sure. But no connection, or even commensurability, to the proxy bullshit we non-Ukrainians have been subjected to in 2020-24,
I assumed you were a Yank, sorry.
For which I feel a commensurate amount of guilt, even though personally I would never have approved of such actions.
When I said 'you guys', I meant the blob that infests, or hopefully soon infested, your Government.
I think we the commentators and host here often note the horrors that collective guilt results in.
We started it a *lot* earlier than that, by not adhering to the torrent of words in 1990 and 1991 about how NATO wouldn't ever expand eastward. A lot of European leaders echoed those comments as well. And given the rules, literally *any* member of NATO could have stopped it.
My father fought in WW2 to "stop Hitler"...When he got older, he. concluded that your country should never fight in a war unless they're invading your country...
Let’s not forget the prank that irony plays on us.
WWII started in 1939 to stop dictator Hitler getting Poland. It ended 5 years later, 60 million dead, Europe in ruins and bankrupt by giving Poland to dictator Stalin.
We are saving Ukraine from corrupt, undemocratic Russia and its oligarchs, so that corrupt, undemocratic Ukraine and its oligarchs can have it.
It all makes perfect sense, d’you see when you take irony into account.
And, more from irony - dictator “literally Hitler” Trump is the only one who wants peace and doing his best to get it against the machinations of the defenders of democracy and freedom.
It’s a funny old World and no mistake.
when every word actually means the opposite of what it's supposed to, you'll know you've reached your destination.
"Literally"
"Decimate"
"Woman"
The list goes on.
I have run into far too many Ukrainians lads between the ages of 22-30 years old hiding out in the Rocky Mountains, to believe in Ukrainian Democracy.
They were sent away by parents and grandparents who could see what was coming.
I look at the boys (men) with an awareness that they would be dead if they had stayed in their country.
If the Ukrainians know their corrupt dictatorship isn’t worth dying for why would any other country get involved?
*nod*
I was working remotely for a company based in Ukraine when the Russians invaded. I shifted gears without a clutch from "being a unix sysadmin" to "assisting refugee evacuations" as the company *rapidly* relocated to Dubai.
And Big Z is asking countries to *deport back to Ukraine* refugees who are male and of age.
Well, we ought to remember the Spartans with horror and contempt.
And further to remember that in these modern days of an interrelated banking system, no war of blood is necessary. Aggression anywhere can be squelched without anyone getting into their cammies.
But as gotten into previously--then how would munitions factories pay for the lovely lifestyles of their home countries?
People who idolise the Spartans usually know nothing except what they've learned from reading Frank Miller's "300"-comic book (also a sleep-inducingly bad movie).
But it's a human thing to to only want the glossy fake-believe surface, not the gritty in-depth view, isn't it? If it wasn't, we wouldn't have (f.e.) pornography.
The funniest thing to me is the angry impotent can't-get-a-date when-is-Odin-returning wing of X and SubstackLand always all swoony over the fantasy of the Warrior Cult.
The thing about The Iliad and The Odyssey? Homer makes brutally clear the waste and shame of all that dead meat left on foreign fields while the women at home spend decades trying to fight off the beta suitors who finally have an opportunity to grab 'emselves some alpha mates.
Weapon makers impoverish their home countries. They also dominate the ruling regime, in concert with the pharmaceutical and other big-money businesses, to the great detriment of the people.
As I have commented before, any nation with nukes and good delivery system, with core military raised with honor and virtue could end war and establish a good world-wide Justice system. Novem Abrahamic Justice System in levels - each court rules on the national, State, Local, international laws passed by secular Gov. Must not go against the basic 10 Commandments and Sane universal Ethics.
Each court with 9 (Novem) members; 3 Orthodox Christian, Muslim, Jewish Justices.
Systems like that in place. With a ruler willing to send Nukes targeting the most powerful international families when States or institutional, corp, religious, forces start killing or violating laws, with warnings to populations in area that nukes will kill them and families unless the heads of powerful are presented at rulers feet so he can piss on them, Or nukes will fly and we all may die.
Seems simple and any man that has suffered the Satanic minions in this level Hell will fire those nukes because our children cleanly dead and in God's arms is better then the vile tormenting horror those powerful force on many today and more tomorrow. 3+ Billions dead seems a small price to return Sanity and break Satan's Grip on us all. (3+ billions is an est. of unborn tortured to death worldwide in my lifetime .. a Just price, yes?)
Sone things to consider.
God Bless., Steve
You need to widen your world view beyond the Abrahamic. All 3 abrahamic systems have been responsible for the greatest violence, terror, cruelty, tyranny and genocide history has known. And it still goes on.
Take a look at the eastern systems which have given us no religious wars but instead tolerance, spirituality and the greatest achievements of human civilization.
Ken, It seems that a century of Modernists Communist anti-white anti-men anti-Christian false-Witnessing and false-history has successfully worked on you, reputational damage with lies and censoring the good. When a system uses the same slimy evil methods as a vicious 13-yo girl, you can assume Satanic forces and goals are in-play.
Of the 3, Christianity commands us to be Just and Merciful to all peoples including enemies, Catholicism has the longest history of the Christians and least history you accuse. All 3 know that God requires Justice, and so make the best law and judges.
Eastern religions are filled with Caste systems and fail as Jews and Muslims do, the 'us and them' different justice and treatments.
Eastern religions and those cultures have along bloody history. Not motivated by Evangelizing such as Islam has, 'Submit or Die', and the responding Christian sects defending Europe and freeing the Holy-Land from Islam, but Kengus Kon(sp?) came out of the east, yes?
This Novem Justice System would Judge laws passed by governments and so require them to be Just and Merciful. What reasons could anyone have against that kind of Check on governments? Would baby-murder and many other laws we now suffer and die from in the West been allowed?
God Bless., Steve
This is the worst idea I've ever heard.
Not willing to risk death for Peace? So, never will change.
No it's just a stupid idea. I'm not going to be ruled by a council of kikes, sand niggers and Russians. Also, there's no agreed upon "Sane universal Ethics". Also, there's no mechanism to stop your "council" from abusing their power. Idiotic idea.
Wasn’t it the Spartans who played a large role in preventing Xerxes from conquering Greece?
I cannot recommend reading Herodotos' account of the Greco-Persian war strongly enough!
The Spartan troops were a welcome addition, but the reality is far different from what has been "mythologised" in pop-culture.
That sure didn't last.
The final turning point was the Battle of Platea in 479 BCE. Persians & allies were routed.
Those Persians though. Keep rising from the dead.
I know a young man of around 20 who is now in the US army. I tried to imagine that I lived in WWII now, and that the son of my friends was to cross the pond and die here to liberate me and my family. I cannot imagine that I would wish for that in any scenario.
By having balls ,did you mean cannon balls ??
How can one morally justify fighting for a country that is nothing but corruption, in the top 3 on human trafficking lists, is anti free speech... basically anti everything that is moral? That's like fighting on the side of the rapist.
Not puzzling. Just delusional on their part.
Ah! You are not used to the fact that humans are regularly delusional?
I'm guessing that FFFFG stands for, in part, 'former fan girl'? In any case, what a bizarre thing for her to say . Nobody argues that dying isn't sometimes part of a soldier's job. It's dying NEEDLESSLY we seek to minimize. And literally every Russian and Ukrainian war death since Zelensky walked out of the Istanbul talks in April 2022 has been utterly unnecessary.
"Former Friend From Fifth Grade." After 65 years, interrupted by several lengthy times out, I'm out. Not least because she insisted that anything I knew that she did not know was because I was lost in The Dark Web.
And though she voted for Trump once, the first time and I have voted for Trump once, this final time, she now hates him with an irrationality that cannot easily be captured in a comment. I finally, finally was done the day she insisted that the assassination attempt was staged and though it was a little puzzling that a rally-goer was killed and others wounded, "Trump doesn't care what happens to other people so..."
Of course to understand her one must go back to our fifth grade classroom, when she said about herself, "I hate people." Never stopped.
Apparently the Ukrainian word for “apology” is “regret” - one of those weasel words when “sorry” just won’t do.
“… soldiers join the army willingly…”
Except when they are conscripted - ask the Ukrainians being press-ganged off the streets.
Well, our little feller speaks English right well.
Yes, I want to send my sons to die in a war for Blackrock so they can rebuild Ukraine with American taxpayer money.
Never forget. These are the same idiots who murdered their best and brightest in the mud of France in 1914 and don’t seem to possess a modicum of rationality to this day.
I wonder if America’s people are the way they are because our rampant gun culture, especially in the West, tended to eliminate the idiots.
Oh heck. There's never been any shortage of idiots here.
But every group that immigrated here in the early days, aside from the aristocrats and merchants at the top of the social order in the Jamestown Colony who started everything off, or the indentured servants thereof who were pretty much slaves, had refused to conform to mainstream society in Europe, whatever that was, locally, regionally or otherwise, and had an intensely bad reaction to being told what to do by outsiders.
To be an American is to be of the ruffian sort. Taken a long time but a lot more of us now than before are really beginning to appreciate that which makes us not Europeans.
Even despite all them Masterpiece Theater dramas trying to keep us worshipful of other peoples' gentry.
This. The American idea and American spirit were a new thing on the world stage and inculcated redskin/redneck values OVER European scientific success produced a unique animal that should not be embarrassed.
Pretty much Trump’s base, I guess so obviously ascending
The important thing was that anyone could become a real American. No pedigree required and financial success was your entree to high society and not an ancestral estate.
That's a concept so unique that plenty of Americans fail to understand it themselves.
WWI was the last war that ruling class sent their sons to front lines and risked death. Back when ruling class was widely WASP (White [Wealthy] Anglo-Saxon Protestants) and as Christians was raised to pretend to care for lesser Classes, ..
.. unlike the last Century where Zionists have taken power, and hate us all and would have us and all we love suffering till dead for a dollar .. we all Palestinians now.
The Freemasons and pre-Zionists anti-Catholic & anti-Christians White European ancestors have been arranging the murder (genocide) of the Best Bravest most virtuous of us in each generation by contriving brothers-killing-brothers wars; French Rev., CivilWar, WWI, Holodomor, WWII, .., Ukraine-Russian Holodomor Part II.
Needless genocide, now with rotted anti-Christian ruling elites; family destruction & poverty, and all institutions actively hostile.
'Rampant gun culture' sounds like someone wants gun grabbing like in Australia where we watched covid-Nazi gov beating peaceful protesters and non-mask wears, old women on ground peppersprayed by israeli trained police .. and not wonder if their gov would have done that if population armed? Yellow-Vets in France?
God Bless., Steve
> she replied that soldiers join the army willingly and--I paraphrase--dying sometimes is part of the job they signed up for.
Technically true, and also equally callous and nigh evil for being so blithe about it. Dang.
Took me 65 years to realize that she likely has the sort of brain miswiring that falls under the grab-all label of "autistic." She is not callous so much as a very desperately unhappy person who was always out of sync with her peers because she was skipped a few grades and entered college at 16. It's been essential to her self-esteem that others should not be as smart as she; anything I say she must generally contradict from her position of superior discernment. She doesn't actually want people to suffer but she has never been able to find a comfortable place in the world for herself.
Well, that sucks. I'm glad I'm not that sort of autistic, though I can certainly see it from here, shall we say.
I think your friend likely never grasped the difference between "intelligence" and "knowledge".
In many cases -- not to toot my own horn too much -- I am not-infrequently the most *intelligent* person in any given conversation, in terms of raw horsepower. But I did fortunately at some point realize that did not mean I was the person with the most *knowledge* in any given conversation. One of the greatest realizations I ever had was that while I may indeed might be the smartest person in the room at any given time, that doesn't translate to equal quantities of either knowledge or wisdom.
Intelligence is like processing power. It's a great thing to have on tap. But without appropriate data, it's just sitting idle. I babysit a lot of servers which without the inputs from a whole lot of people would just be turning a great deal of electricity into very expensive heat.
It's *useful* but it's not the only factor.
Her father taught his two daughters to mock everyone and consider them inferior--not least because he himself was a very short guy with a thumb lost in childhood to an accident and his sense of manhood was therefore fully invested in thinking himself the brainiest guy around.
So they've spent their lives ensuring nobody cheats them out of a nickel and now they are the living stereotype of two miserable old women. It is too bad because each always has had a certain natural charm but the crazy now far outweighs the sense of fun. They were taught never to take a chance, never to risk security. So they've got great bank accounts and each lives in a nice house and they fight all the time about where they'll go to get ice cream because one doesn't want to miss two-fer day and the other doesn't like the choices available.
Anyway it was God's grace instead of being sensible like them I made all sorts of idiotic choices that all turned out for the best.
I suggest the anti-euphemism for 'Apology' is "unconditional surrender"
we live in a world where real consequences need to be brought back...and I suspect that's coming.
Or more vulgarly: "I will now eat shit in public."
"Being such eager fans of excising the lives of other people's children is worse."
As the neocons here in America have been to willing to do since the beginning of the Ukraine/Russia war. Proudly wearing the blue and yellow on their suit lapels and golf shirts, and stepping over the thousands (or is it tens of thousands) of Ukrainian bodies to weaken Russia.
When have conservatives in the US not met a war they didn't want to ship other people's kids off to fight? "Neocons" is such a sneaky term. Good old ordinary Republicans have always been happy to follow any Republican President into enthusiastically voting for the slaughter of other people's kids.
The preternatural magic of Trump is in being not actually a Republican and being able to force Republicans in Congress to bend to his will. Example of the week: Lindsay Graham.
As someone in the Military - yes, we are prepared to die for our Nation. It's in the job description. The very first Article in the AFCC - "I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard our country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defence".
No matter who our geopolitical enemy is, I am prepared to die to ensure that they do not hold power over my nation and inflict devastation upon it. If that is Russia, so be it. I would rather fight the Chinese, but I would also like to ensure the former Soviets don't get too uppity and try to realize their longstanding dream of crushing the United States under its boot.
I would much rather die on the beaches of Europe than in the deserts of shitistan.
Well done missing the point.
Have you ever fought for anything? Are you a soldier?
I signed up to fight. Everyone else I know did too. It's almost worse to deprive us of our purpose.
Look into the Arditi and the Warrior Spirit. Sitting behind a keyboard and moralfagging for a group of people who want nothing more than to shed blood for God and Country will get you nothing but mocked.
Feel free to read my original comment again and see if you can make the appropriate sense of it.
Feel free to read this following statement and judge for yourself why I responded: needless suffering does not exist.
Let me know, if you choose to, when you've figured out the meaning of my original comment.
How quickly would Peace spread round the world if our Sickened Society and soul-Crippled Loveless womanhood not allowed to murder our children and a random wealthy, middleClass, and poor post menopause woman died for each man that her votes supported dying in endless wars.
Rereading 'A farewell to Arms' a woman psycho nurse is accusing the main character of trying to avoid returning to the fighting front - which was false accusation - and I thought she could be dressed as a man soldier and placed in the front lines, her and all male-hating man-murdering walking ungrateful women like that.
.. and perhaps pay more in Taxes then they take (longer lives, less income taxes, more benefits, ..)
Nothing personal but I remember before insane baby-murder on whim was law, we had a sane society where most married and older women were a blessing and not generally a pile of poisonous vomit sexually mutilating our and children's minds-bodies-souls as if many not better Gone from society they destroying.
Somethings to consider.
God Bless., Steve
FFFFG?
👆👆👆👆👆👆
Explanation already supplied.
Agree entirely with this assessment. The EU are going to be given a sobering lesson in what hard power means versus the meaningless bullshit that they come out with.
You mean strongly worded letters don't stop missiles?
Yes, diplomacy can do this. It was raw, but that is what we all saw on Friday 28th February 2025 from the White House.
Words.
Powerful words.
Thank goodness.
Yes, but those powerful words were backed by missiles and economic power. In europe, words are backed by caps that don't detach from their bottles.
Now that's a great reply.
I'd love to meet the libtard that thought it was a good idea to ensure mixed material recycling- a true Eurotard.
The Swedish Greens decided last year to one-up the non-detached caps:
Old clothes may no longer be sorted as "burnables", but are to be sorted separately, so that they can be rendered down into raw materials to make new clothes from.
There's no logistics in place for this, the EROI for recycling is higher than simply buying new clothes, and since lots of items of clothing are of mixed materials (cotton/nylon or some other combo) the respective fibers must first be separated.
Oh, and there's a loop-hole: severly dirtied clothing may be put in the "burnables" bin. Such as rags used to clean up oil spill in your garage.
Being "Green" seems to me ought to be listed in the DSM/ICD manuals.
"oil spill in your garage"?!? This requires immediate government intercession and remediation efforts! Your property is now a "brown field," which will be confiscated and sold to pay for the clean up, while you are prosecuted for Crimes Against Gaia! Or, as someone who was once famous remarked... "How dare you!"
> Being "Green" seems to me ought to be listed in the DSM/ICD manuals.
Quoted for truth.
Sweden. I lived there until 2002 - it has changed much but, of course, it still such a wonderful country.
That really sums it up!
"The pen is mightier than the sword" is an expression created by someone who couldn't use a sword.
The late, great, Terry Pratchett:
"... if the pen is very sharp and the sword pointed in the opposite direction".
Though being an axe-man, I'm biased.
Sanctions aren't up to much either!
EU aka Fourth Reich looking East for lebensraum.
Exactly
Biden & NATO ignored Putin’s warnings for years, they kept encroaching closer & closer to Russia’s borders, encircling their territory. Threatening to admit Ukraine into NATO was the last straw for Putin, not to mention the Biolabs in Ukraine that Victoria Nuland admitted to. Biden & Europe were the cause for this war & if they can’t see that then they are more hopeless than even you described them. PDJT is trying to undo all this damage the best that he can. Unfortunately he can’t bring back all the dead wasted soldiers used as pawns in this totally pointless preventative war. The previous American governments with Biden, Kerry, HRC, Romney meddling with money laundering, Medibiota & regime change in 2014 didn’t help matters either. Zelensky is an embarrassment, & a disgrace ( remember his disgusting video) & his portrayal of the President of Ukraine in a TV show when he was an ‘entertainer’ before being installed as ‘president,’ he is a joke as a leader of any country.
Don't forget the meddling by EU28 led by Baroness Ashton at the time of the leadership change enacted by the CIA in 2014.
Ukraine has made and been subjected to decades of bad decisions, with the regular citizens paying for the consequences. Check out the Antonov design contract with the Russian Federation in the early 2000's - lots of cash, no aircraft. Hmmmmm. Where have we seen that before?
As I suspect the real powerful ruling international families orchestrated the Cold War for global population control and continued targeted racists and religious genocide, and that Russia Zionist Ologarcts and USA Zionists controlling Federal Gov and more and Zionists and supporters in Ukraine contrived the Ukraine-Russian Holodomor Part II.
Putin has not acted as if he - and his masters - would if they did not want to extend the killing of White Christian men, and those BioLabs are a good example. Biolabs to create tailored bioweapon that kills white (Christian) Slovik peoples as Zionists Bolsheviks did to 10+ millions of White Christian Ukrainians in Holodomor .. as covid was less deadly to Chinese and most intelligent sub-tribe of Jews once released from Chinese Bioweapon lab, do you think those Ukraine Bioweapons labs were creating something that only killed White Slovik peoples?
And it sure seems like rulers that discovered such biolabs would have reacted more violently if they had not supported such work already, instead only caring about Nukes that could kill him and his non-Slovik Masters.
Putin could have ended the fighting quickly by announcing and then sending a dummy ICBM from Pacific Ocean Sub over the USA and Washington, over Europe and Ukraine into ocean or NorthPole Ice, as a clear message that they are done with the masturbation murders & Genocide, Death comes next, and join him in death worldwide, including our wommans that never are threaten no matter how they vote.
God Bless., Steve
You are a sick individual,, get help. If you believe Zionist Oligarchs are controlling the United States then you really, really need help.
Thank you ! Well said
"She furthermore explained that the United States aren’t our partners anymore, and then she also said that we have to do everything to ensure the United States continues to be our partner, among other things by explaining to the Americans that there will be 'consequences' if they cease being our partners."
Your terms are acceptable.
Would someone explain what these consequences could be? Other than, 'We'll stop buying Apple products'? (Which would presumably mean that Ireland would also kick Apple and it's $14 billion in taxes out of the country).
Severe scoldings from menopausal women masquerading as "leaders". Harsh rebukes from European journalists. Further reminders that Trump is Hitler, oh wait Putin is Hitler and Trump is Chamberlain or something.
Ah. Apple products made in China.
Doesn't matter where they're made. Apply uses Ireland as a tax shelter for a substantial portion of the company's profits.
Maybe she means they’ll start buying direct?
Not sure. The balance of trade between EU27+UK and USA is not quite as per the USA MSM spin.
Since mid-2024 we have been subjected to endless sniping from all side of the USA. That has been very interesting to observe. Clearly we are due to be punished, as if blowing up Nordstream I and Nordstream 2 wasn't enough.
Yeah these people are schizophrenic. I rest my case.
Acceptable. If you can figure them out.
I loved Europe as a young person. I grew up with relatives and family friends who’d fought in WWII and always had a deep respect for the culture and people. Since the EU started, however, and more recently with the open migration policies, social welfare crap, Covid and censorship dictatorships… no. And our country is a mess and broke. Trillions are gone without a trace, and Zelenskyy and co got a walloping share (also mostly gone without a trace). 80 years has brought a lot of social changes and I’m really ok with reevaluating all of it. And zero more for Ukraine.
How many of those billions went throughout EU and those nations leaders and the UK leaders, Western and other countries' leaders as Bribes, or threats, as the APAC israeli lobby has long ago controlled Washington with kick-backs on those billions we give every year to them, as well as bribes and threats to Arab's leaders to suppress their populations?
Weapons to groups of terrorists throughout middle-east, Africa, elsewhere.
It's not hard to imagine that the money and weapons were not getting to where those Zionist Masters will it all to go, with a lot of extra to pass around.
God Bless., Steve
In my long life, the response of the Europeans is the stupidest thing I have ever seen.
The only thing they can do militarily is to continue, the, I think mostly UK backed, terrorist attacks on Russia.
In the meantime they risk WWIII
Speaking as a Canadian under the Liberal ruler Justin Trudeau’s 9+ year long regime I’d say his virtuous long in the tooth absolutely disrespectful response, Ontario premier Doug Ford’s bat shit crazy response and then last but not least Chrystia Freeland’s even more bat shit crazy looney tunes outrageous response to the US 25% tariffs, our so called leaders well deserve them!
We are going to a federal election very soon now 🤞with hopefully a strong majority win for a Conservative government for 4+ years with a new mandate who’s leader Pierre Poilievre will be much better at being able to communicate/ negotiate with President Trump. He has strong Conservative values which resemble the Republicans to some degree whilst the Trudeau soon to be Carbon Tax Carney Liberals loved Biden and Kamala the EU heads of state, France, the UK, woke ideologies with the carbon net zero along with the mass immigration literally destroying all of our economies and our nations.
I have seen reporting that the polls in Canada have completely flipped and the Liberals hold the lead, all due to Canada's hatred of Donald Trump. For Canada's sake, I hope this is not true. This American wishes for fair trade and friendly relations with our northern neighbor.
I wish for the same thing Susan, my daughter lives in the US!
Yes very very unfortunate timing on Donald Trump’s part because the Liberals have absolutely grabbed onto this golden opportunity of Trump imposing 25% tariffs and are using it fully to their advantage to rally their base “to vote for us cause we’re the only party that can take on big bully President Trump!”
Trudeau prorogued/ shut down our parliament in beginning of January so we the people have had NO representation at all throughout this entire ordeal and the Liberals are now running against big bad Donald Trump instead of against the leader of the opposition our Conservative leader cause they had nothing to use to win in their fight against him! In fact they have already stolen a number of his campaign policy promises the lying sob’s.
So Trump is actually helping the Liberals to make a significant comeback, but I don’t believe all those polls as many are left leaning and the fake news msm is pushing out these poll numbers favouring the Liberals at high speed to help support Carney. One less biased poll still shows Conservatives with a 12 point lead. I will be voting Conservative 💯!
Trudeau has been for Canada what Obama and Biden were to the US. I hope your party, the Conservatives wins the upcoming election and our two countries can work together to improve the lives of all Canadians and Americans.
Yes I totally agree with that statement and Trudeau also took full advantage of the covid situation and called a sudden snap election in 2021 dreaming he’d get a majority government which he didn’t and less than 1/3 of Canadians even got out to vote! He got another minority government.
Thank you for your kind words of support Susan, may they come to pass.
I wish the best, Sonya, for you, your family, and your country.
After the Globalists Elites NAFTA destruction of the [White Christian] middle-class, shipping manufacturing offshore (paid-for by our taxes) I can support Tariffs as long as they are designed and in-place long enough to return some of those manufacturing middle-class jobs, and help the USA be less dependent.
It is hard to imagine all the income-taxes, local sales taxes, as well as that middleclass healthy large families that was intentionally destroyed by those elites. Poverty, homelessness, sterile families, .., wage suppression, Usury debt and medical-insurance enslavement, endless needless suffering .. kind of hard not to decide that the only families doing very well are connected to those Satanic minions with sickness, suffering, ignorance, confusion, poverty, homelessness, childless, familyless, OD, suiciding, .., pain, death and Hell.
They hate us and want us all suffering till death. Globalists! We are all Palestinians now, while they watch use and laugh as we suffering till death.
Wonder with me when israeli Lobbies like APAC took over control of West, Federal and other governments.
God Bless., Steve
Indeed I am deeply ashamed of my countries role in this debacle
UK’s SIS (aka MI6) supposedly taking the lead.
But why oh why did the Eurotards buy into the Blob so completely?
WEF and globalists.
POSITIVE and NEGATIVE incentives:
POSITIVE INCENTIVES: Many Eurotards owe their careers to the Blob from an early age, sometimes in the second generation. Exhibit 1: Ursula von der Lyin', née Albrecht. Albrecht senior was an early Eurocrat in Brussels, Ursula went to school in Brussels. Ursula later lived in Palo Alto, California for several years.
NEGATIVE INCENTIVES: It has been speculated that videos are made as a rite of passage for the ambitious pol. Note that for this to work, the acts recorded must be of such a nature that even a senior politician could not talk her way out of the situation if the videos were to be made public many years later.
And, if unfortunately there is no alternative, that strategic weaponry WILL be used very effectively to tell the miscreants to "wrap it up" and come to the negotiating table as ADULTS.
I emphatically agree with Inarguable Point Number Two. Europe would be far better off not relying on the American defense umbrella. Among other benefits, requiring NATO countries to provide for their own defense would free them from the luxury belief that their real enemy is a carbon molecule and that they can run a progressing industrial economy on windmills and sunshine.
The big news in Irish TV news today.
26 billion fines for not reaching co2 by 2030 reduction. Importing LNG baad for the environment.
Seriously this was the shyte being shovelled.
Yes, facing reality will be a bugger but it needs to happen so badly.
I think it is increasingly likely Z is going to meet Ngo Dinh Diem’s fate, and soon. He has enough internal enemies now; suspension of aid I think amounts to Z’s dëath warrant being signed. I wonder how much longer does he have?
Indeed I saw musk called for him to be able to step down and get amnesty somewhere or he'll never agree to a peace treaty because he knows his fate is sealed. As much as I don't want him to get away with anything, stopping the war is the most important thing for all living creatures on this earth.
"The Eurotards are presently advocating a course of action that will yield a worse result for the Ukraine, in the name of defending Ukraine."
Exactly. Sacrificing the Last Ukrainian to kill more Russians (and sell more arms, and launder more kickbacks) is not good for Ukrainians.
I don't believe it's smart for the American national interest, either.
Which, as an American - if we're going to be bloodthirsty and Machiavellian about our Empire, we should at least be smart about it!
This war seemed to be about using up all the old stores of weapons so they can spend billions of tax dollars for new ones.
Zelenzki could rent German SS Stormtrooper uniforms from German museums IF Trump withholds any more weapons .The sight of them could cause the Russians to surrender .
Did the Russians surrender in the 1940s?
I don't remember it ending quite that way.
The realization of the irrelevance of the EU's various leaders (and the countries they lead) in world affairs has been a long time coming, but is also still a ways off in the future. At present, the fear of this irrelevance has slammed home, however. It's going to be a while for them to work through the stages of grief. One wonders how long we'll stay at "anger."
I question your "we". On an earlier Eugyppius post I speculated that the Great Zelensky Diss might be some "4D-chess" Trump move to make we Europeans hate our "leaders" even more.
I think my speculations about Trump's intentions and infinite manipulation-skills are irrelevant. We Europeans are simply going to hate our "leaders" more and more, but Trump didn't start that, it was already there.
It becomes a question of personal anger-management. The big cheeses are proving to be total 'tards at this: we have to be better, ga'canny and manage our energy.
I do not see an end to "anger" any time soon
First they must proceed from harboring illusions, to recognizing that such illusions have morphed into delusions.
At current operational tempo the entire German main battle tank force would be wiped out in about ten days fighting in Kursk. Throw in every other EU tank outside of Poland and they still wouldn’t survive a month.
How long did that German think tank say it would take to rebuild the Bundeswehr back to Cold War levels? 20 years was it?
"Then a vacant Baerbock said we need to find partners across the world, including in the Golf states"
Like California, Arizona, and Florida? 😆
"German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, meanwhile, deplored this “new era of lawlessness,” emphasising that “For us, it is clear that we stand firmly by the side of sovereign and free Ukraine.”
It may be tough for her to explain the hard numbers that show that Germany and other European countries, continue to spend more money on cheap Russian oil than they send to defend Ukraine. They are literally financing this war for Russia.
Tucker Carlson: "A recent Finland-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air study concluded that European Union countries spent roughly $23 billion on Russian fossil fuels last year while sending Ukraine less than $20 billion in aid. Turkey, a NATO country but not an EU member, sent Russia another $35 billion.
"[Trump] can force European politicians to accept whatever peace deal he happens to conclude by the mere threat of withdrawing the American security umbrella."
Trump is now hobbled by a law co-sponsored by his own Secretary of State, Marco Rubio:
“Since December 2023, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024 includes a provision (Section 1250A) that restricts presidential authority to unilaterally withdraw from NATO. It states that the president cannot “suspend, terminate, denounce, or withdraw” the U.S. from NATO without either:
Two-thirds Senate approval (67 votes if all 100 senators are present and voting), or
An Act of Congress (a bill passed by majorities in both the House and Senate, subject to presidential signature or veto override)."
outright withdrawing from NATO isn't necessary to give Euros the vapours, even talking about pulling out soldiers is enough to cause serious panic, as we saw after the Vance and Hegseth speeches.
"It may be tough for her to explain the hard numbers that show that Germany and other European countries, continue to spend more money on cheap Russian oil than they send to defend Ukraine. They are literally financing this war for Russia."
You had to bring that up!!! Ha! ;-)
That law does not sound like it will stand SCOTUS review, but if it does then couldn't Pres. Trump command withdraw of equipment and military presence, close bases, and such?
With EU's crazy WWIII talk, he must have the power to avoid getting sucked into wars they purposely start, start with the Goal to drag USA back-in.
QUOTE: Since December 2023, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) ... restricts presidential authority to unilaterally withdraw from NATO.
WITHDRAWAL from an international treaty (the T in NATO stands for treaty) is fully within the President's executive authority under Article II of the Constitution.
Congress purporting to restrict the President's fundamental power is plainly unconstitutional and thus void, as Congress will have been aware when it passed the provision in 2023.
The T stands for Treaty?
SUCH a terrific substack!!!!
Your 4 points are indeed inarguable. A point I would love to see addressed by any eurotardic media source or politician:
* How exactly does the 'security alliance' benefit americans?
Because alliances are supposed to be mutually beneficial. And I all I hear is whinging about why america is obligated to maintain it. But nothing about why america would want to maintain it.
Maybe there are good reasons. But I haven't heard them.
How about moral obligation?
Fascinating to read the wildly differing articles following “that” White House meeting. I had to go back twice to one I saw today saying “In the aftermath of President Zelensky’s obnoxious treatment in the White House ….” as I wondered if the author had seen a different press conference to the one I saw. Needless to say this was in a British on-line publication.
Because mainstream reporting is limited to the final minutes of the press conference video and because they stick to the Zelensky is a war hero V Trump is always bad narrative.
