7 Biden wooses out on Russia and the Ukraine.

To Americans stuck there:

If you stay, you are assuming risk with no guarantee that there will be any other opportunity to leave and there is no prospect of [a] U.S. military evacuation in the event of a Russian invasion," White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said. "If a Russian attack on Ukraine proceeds, it is likely to begin with aerial bombing and missile attacks that could obviously kill civilians without regard to their nationality."

Personally, I don't give a fig about the Ukraine.

Karl Denninger:

A democracy is 10 wolves and 9 sheep voting on what to have for dinner. A republic is the same 10 wolves and 9 sheep with the 9 sheep pulling guns to veto the vote.

Civil society exists because 99% of the people agree with what is put before them. Not 50.1% or 60% or 75%, but 99%.

Denninger's point. You can't jail too many people who refuse to comply without destroying civil society. It takes 3 people's worth of productivity to support 1 jailed person.

Of course, when you start shooting them, I don't know how that changes the equation. They are going to start shooting soon.

I am helping 30 families. Many of them LPRs and SIVs. Former employees from our company. All solid middle class engineers who speak 3 languages - including English. They laid their lives on the line helping us with U.S. military projects and now they are hunted by the Taliban. They're not very vocal about their plans or their successes when Islamists have them in their crosshairs.

During the Great Reset when Western Governments ceased to exist and became totalitarian police states, confining hundreds of millions of people to house arrest, destroying their businesses, wiping out tens of millions of jobs, engaging in the greatest wealth transfer ever engineered - they proved that not only could they remove 1% from the workforce through incarceration, but 50%.

184 What is making the Truckers situation so fascinating is that they have shown strategic and tactical brilliance from the very beginning of the event. Every move they make has been well planned, designed to force the Government to react. Now they are playing for the highest stakes of all, and literally putting their own lives on the line for their beliefs.

Trudeau & Co. have clearly decided to ignore the Truckers blockade of Ottawa, and just wait until it went on too long and fell apart on its own. That's why the Bridge occupation began; because that is intended to *Force* the Government to act, even though they don't want to. Now, they have no choice. I know the Truckers would prefer that the Administration back down, but if they decide to go all Tiananmen on them, the Government still loses. As we've been saying often recently, at tense times like these, whoever shoots first loses.

197 Truckers would prefer that the Administration back down, but if they decide to go all Tiananmen on them, the Government still loses. As we've been saying often recently, at tense times like these, whoever shoots first loses.

I'm getting old and cynical. This problem ends before next weekend and will be completely forgotten a fortnight later. The tyrants will be emboldened and the people will become more subdued.

The enemy has all of the guns and the printing press - they are lacking in wisdom and legitimacy.

198 Trudeau's biggest mistake was repeatedly calling protestors "racists" and all the other names.

It's the Leftist reflex move. He didn't have the wit or imagination -- or certainly the civic good faith -- to do it differently, to see how different this circumstance was.

209 >>Truckers would prefer that the Administration back down, but if they decide to go all Tiananmen on them, the Government still loses. As we've been saying often recently, at tense times like these, whoever shoots first loses.

Think the problem for Trudeau and pals is how many non-truckers are getting on on it - going down to cheer them on, funding/supplying them, or even just carrying a spare fuel tank to make it harder to crack down on truckers keeping supplied. Attempts to isolate and alienate them have failed. Retaliation against their trucks and/or the drivers' licenses means they cripple their supply chain -- talk about a Pyrrhic victory that would be. . .

FWIW, trucker convoys staring in Australia and France.
It's getting real.

23,000 in the active Canadian Military.

For some reason I am reminded of the Swiss Defense Minister being threatened by the Germans in WWI. A German envoy said we have 500,000 troops that can cross your border and take Switzerland. You have only 250,000 in the active and reserve army.

The Swiss Defense Minister said, "We shoot twice, and go home." The Swiss are big believers in personal marksmanship.
