The Morning Report - 3/7/22

Good morning, kids. Start of a new week and of course the Russian invasion and attempt to conquer Ukraine (yet again) enters its 12th day. It's incredible to witness how miscalculation and blunder on all sides of this issue have gotten us to this point. For sure, it was the perceived green light given to Putin by Biden and his controllers, a fundamentally unserious and manifestly irresponsible cadre of globalist pinheads here in the nation formerly known as the United States of America too busy destroying our foreign policy and national security status quo (as well as our domestic culture and society) joining an ungrateful, even more decadent Europe that has been doing that since the end of the Second World War.

On his part, Putin no doubt thought that the Russian military would just waltz not only into his version of the Sudentenland, the Donbas and other adjacent areas to his immediate west that are supposedly majority ethnic Russian, but take all of Ukraine. In terms of the combat readiness and capability of his forces in executing a rather complicated plan, as well as thinking that Zelenskyy and his government would collapse within perhaps a day or two, Putin now has Fabergé egg all over his face.

Between the fog of war as well as an American and international media that cannot be trusted to transmit anything remotely resembling the truth even when lines of communication are wide open (the Big Brother Tech overlords capricious interference notwithstanding), it's difficult to get an accurate picture of which side is "winning," for whatever definition of that word you want to use given the players involved. But the longer this drags out, the worse it is for Putin and the more he will be backed into a corner and do whatever he feels he needs to do to win. Whatever the power structure is in Russia, the country itself is a morass of corruption that is run by oligarchs, many of them ex-KGB and party bosses like Putin himself, who control vast swathes of the economy. Putin sits at the top, because his alliances and machiavellian machinations since the breakup of the Soviet Union and post Boris Yeltsin put him there. His neck is on the line if this drags on, and certainly if the Zelensky government retains control, even if he loses Kherson and other parts of eastern Ukraine.

It's now gotten to a point where even if Putin declares victory and withdraws his units from Ukraine minus the aforementioned areas, the rest of the world has staked out a position that it will demand he withdraw from them. And you better believe some idiot somewhere is going to put words in Biden's mouth demanding he withdraw from all territories he took in 2014. It's certainly well within the realm of possibility. Ironically, about the only one throwing, or trying to throw Putin a lifeline is none other than Joey Soft Serve himself. And look at how that's playing out.

Here's the shot:

At a Capitol Hill press conference on Thursday, a CNN reporter asked Pelosi, "There's been a push by some Democrats to ban the import of Russian oil. I believe that Senators (Joe) Manchin and (Lisa) Murkowski are going to put forth a bill on that today. Where do you stand?"

The House Speaker said, "I'm all for that. Ban it. Ban the oil coming from Russia, yep."

And now, here's the chaser:

Joe Biden has been bragging about how tough he is on Russia after Putin began a war of aggression in Ukraine. Indeed, the sanctions that Biden and most European countries have imposed on Russia in the wake of the invasion are among the most severe in history, including excluding Russia from the SWIFT network of financial transactions.

So why was Biden jawboning Democratic senators, strongarming them to vote against one of the most devastating sanctions of all: banning the import of Russian oil into the U.S.? . . .

. . . Gas prices are going to rise anyway because of the war. And after running for president promising his policies would cut domestic supply and raise prices, Biden has no standing to carp about rising gas prices.

But that's not important to Biden now. What matters is his political survival. And there are a helluva lot more ordinary Americans who are livid about $4-per-gallon gas than there are greens who might think Biden is doing what's necessary to save the planet.

Amazing. Bad enough that the Left hand doesn't know what the Far Left hand is doing. But Biden's more worried, or more accurately Valerie Jarret and Ron Klain are more worried, about saving their political hide(s) after a right cross to the jaw by going all in on killing the American petrochemical industry and now the uppercut of a war that will send oil through the stratosphere and crash the US economy. And that's on top of the trillions in debt occurred racked up by these fiends for a host of other freedom-killing dreck that doesn't even include the stalled (and please G-d dead) Build Bolshevism Biggerer and Infrastructure larcenies.

The obvious, in your face, stone cold absolute 1,000% right thing to do right now is to immediately jettison these environmental communist fever dreams now becoming deadly serious reality of doing away with petrochemicals and start drilling for every last drop of oil, lump of coal or unit of natural gas. That would not only save our own collective (or soon to be collectivized) ass but since our reserves have been proven to be the largest on the planet thanks to fracking and other now practical means of extraction, we can once again export massive quantities to Europe and the rest of the world that relies on Russian oil -- just like we did under Donald J. Trump.

But, no. We can't do that. What are we doing instead?

. . . the "Death to America"-chanting mullahs aren't enough. Fox News reported Sunday that "several senior Biden [junta] officials from the White House and State Department traveled to Venezuela on Saturday to meet with the Russian ally as Moscow's economy begins to crater under the weight of sanctions, according to a report." The idea is to entice the brutal hard-Left regime of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro away from Moscow's embrace. The U.S. used to be Venezuela's biggest customer for its oil exports, but the Trump administration put sanctions on those exports in view of the Venezuelan regime's tyrannical behavior and election fraud.

But for Biden's handlers, that sort of thing is no problem, as is clear from the fact that the [junta's] trip to Venezuela was "the highest-profile one to Venezuela from American officials in years." The agenda is obvious: "Some in the U.S. are considering Venezuelan oil as a possible substitute to Russian imports, as more American politicians say the U.S. needs to end its reliance on Russian oil, which could help finance Putin's war." Maduro opened the door to this himself on Thursday, saying: "Here lies the oil of Venezuela, which is available for whomever wants to produce and buy it, be it an investor from Asia, Europe or the United States."

It's astonishing that we have an administration that would rather buy oil from two regimes that terrorize their own people than take the steps that would restore the energy independence the United States enjoyed under the Trump administration. This is partly because the "adults" who are back in charge now are so spiteful, hateful, and immature that they must do the opposite of whatever Trump did, no matter how well it worked and how ill-advised the alternative. Biden's handlers also have to please the green energy advocates who form such an important part of their base and who apparently don't mind the environmental damage that results from the production of oil if it takes place in far-off countries and isn't on CNN.

And there goes the support for the duly elected, yet somehow sidelined, Juan Guaido and any hope of the overthrow of the Communists. Meh, we can't even overthrow them over here. In any case, aside from not so secretly allowing Putin to skirt these really, really tough Corn-Pop-ass-kicking sanctions, in exchange for that, Russia is "negotiating" the restoration of the US-Iran nuke deal. Naturally the Russkies are going to give them everything they want, which means Iran will have nukes in very short order now. Not that Valerie Jarret doesn't not want that. Because she does.

The trouble is not coming just from the fact that we are trusting Russia to act in America's best interests (although America's best interests have never been a priority for Biden's handlers, and there is really no reason to believe that they have ever been a priority in the Vienna negotiations). Noronha added: "Led by Rob Malley, the U.S. has promised to lift sanctions on some of the regime's worst terrorists and torturers, leading officials in the regime's WMD infrastructure, and is currently trying to lift sanctions on the IRGC itself."

Robert Malley has won renown and disgust as a man who has never hesitated to kowtow to America's enemies. Judicial Watch noted back in 2015 that "over the years he has published a number of newspaper opinion pieces urging the United States to reach out and negotiate with terrorist enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and Muqtada al-Sadr." Now the Iranian mullahs can be added to that list, but since they won't sully themselves by dealing directly with the emissaries of the Great Satan, the Russians are helpfully playing intermediary. . .

. . . Yeah. But Biden's handlers show no sign of relenting on this. To all appearances, they're rushing headlong in to a deal with Tehran that would, surprise of surprises, place Russia in a key role, as did the original Obama nuke deal. NBC News explained that "Under one draft interim agreement that sources said Russia presented to Iran, Tehran would be required to stop enriching uranium up to 60 percent purity and dispose of its current stockpile, possibly by exporting it to Russia, along with other restrictions. In exchange, the Iranian government would receive access to billions of dollars in oil revenues frozen in foreign bank accounts, including in South Korea, the sources said."

So the Russians would get uranium at a time when Vladimir Putin has raised nuclear tensions to a level we have not seen since the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Islamic Republic, whose leaders finance not just jihad terror groups, but also Leftist groups that work to destabilize Western societies would get billions. What could possibly go wrong?

While everyone is biting their nails, and rightfully so, as to whether Putin or some rogue general or even colonel might set off a suitcase nuke and level Kyev if the situation got hairy, the world is closer than ever to a real potentially nuclear conflict a mere 2,000 miles or so to the south. Israel and the GCC are not going to allow Iran to go nuclear. Period. Whether this deal is in fact finalized and even announced by the Biden Junta, or in the unlikely event it is ratified in the Senate - not that these thugs and goons from the Kalorama Klown Komintern even give a shit about that - the Mullahs, like Putin before him, will get the message.

Whatever you feel about the presidency of Donald J. Trump, or more stupidly about Donald J. Trump's personality, regardless of your political persuasion, the world was a far safer place and all of the aforementioned bad actors listed above where effectively neutralized or kept in check because of Trump's foreign policy leadership and actions. I should say, all of the bad actors except evidently the worst of the lot - the thugs, goons and tyrants right here in our own government, foreign policy and national security establishments, as well as everyone outside of government that has and continues to cheer them on.

Putin, Xi, Maduro, Khamenei are bad enough. But they'd be nothing were it not for the evil globalist bastards - on both sides of what is really that mythical aisle in Congress - that have enabled them and allowed them to fester since the end of the Second World War.

Whatever happens, someone's ass is going to reap one big-ass whirlwind.

Believe it or not, Ulyanov just put out a video on twitter bragging about what a great deal he got for the Iranian nuclear program and what a pushover Biden has been. Biden is a disaster for the world in every possible way, so how could there still be people who think otherwise? I honestly do not get it.

More than 37 percent of respondents to a Reuters/Ipsos poll said the United States should send troops to Ukraine to died against the Russians.

It's just gas lighting all the way. We're being set up to go to war.

We're going to war to cover up grift and corruption, and to force ourselves to 'go green' by shifting from oil to alternative sources of energy. But mostly to cover up grift and corruption.

11 Willowed:
FDA report shows Pfizer's clinical trials found 24% higher all-cause mortality rate among the vaccinated compared to placebo group.

Report emphasizes that "None of the deaths were considered related to vaccination."

This is extra important because the insurance risk assessors when updating their actuarial tables can include all of that fresh vaccine passport data in recalculating your medical and life insurance premiums.

Don't tell me that a 24% difference between the Pure Bloods and the lab rats will be ignored by the C-suite.

23 Putin is correct on one point; we *are* now waging War on Russia. It's asymmetric, economic warfare, which leaves him no chance to respond in kind, but it is just as destructive (probably even more so) than if we were sending clouds of fighter aircraft over. The recent rule change by Putin, allowing Russians to repay their debts in rubles, is a clear sign of how bad things are already, and how much worse they are going to get. At first glance, this may seem simple - but every Russian with debts has now been allowed to pay them off at about 1 penny on the dollar. So, follow that move and game out what comes after that. Imagine what the consequences would be if that were to happen here.

to spell it out, Russia is now looking at the complete collapse of its financial sector, followed by a failed attempt by an incompetent government to hold things together with rubber bands.

31 But when, in 2014, Putin took Crimea, Obama imposed economic sanctions, meddled even more in Ukraine, and agreed to station token NATO and American troops in Poland and the Baltic States.

In Ukraine, the Obama gang then picked and supported the next President. This was discussed on the phone call that was leaked in 2014. Victoria Nuland, whos back in the Biden Administration, hand-picked the next President in Ukraine and discussed her reasons. This person, Petro Poroshenko, then won the 2014 election and became President.

We are not going to intentionally engage the Russians with our military, at least not yet. But our leaders have this crazy idea that they can use weapons of mass economic destruction and Putin will just sit there and take it, without responding. Do you think he'll just continue to take it and do nothing, as all of Russia collapses internally?

The danger isn't just that Putin would use nukes in Kiev. The fear is that he'll use nukes against Incirklik and the NATO bases in eastern Europe. If he does, then NATO *has* to make a nuclear response - no choice.

81 If you make $40K or less and have a long commute, gas price increases are a killer. That defines a large swath of America. Then add in price increases on everything else.

Funny how when a Republican is president, "inflation is a hidden tax on the poor" gains traction, but suddenly it's a sign of a "surging economy" when a Democrat is president. I mean, you'd almost think the media was the propaganda arm of the DNC.

The US uses petawatts of energy.

The largest solar farm in the US sits on 8 square miles, has 1.7 million panels and in the best of scenarios produces 300-500 MW of energy.

Contrast that with Diablo Canyon that sits on 400 acres and produces 2.5 GW of energy.

Wind is not even something to be considered.
Renewable energy is a joke and is going to murder us.

SAINTS OF THE DAY

St. Perpetua and St. Felicity (d. 203 A.D.) were friends who lived in Carthage, North Africa. They were both catechumens preparing to receive the Church's sacraments: Perpetua was a married noblewoman, and Felicity was a pregnant Christian slave. Perpetua's baptism was hastened after her arrest, and God told her to pray for strength to withstand her coming trials. While in prison she kept a detailed diary of her sufferings and visions, one of the oldest early Christian writings. Her father, pleaded with her to deny her faith, even bringing her infant, to the prison in order to persuade her to apostatize. She refused. Felicity also remained steadfast in her faith, giving birth to a daughter while in prison a few days before her execution. Perpetua, Felicity, were condemned to be torn by wild animals in the arena. Perpetua understood that their contest was not with animals, but with the devil. She walked into the arena and met her fate with a joy and bravery that astonished all. Perpetua, Felicity were mauled and then beheaded on March 7, 203.

110 Between the fog of war as well as an American and international media that cannot be trusted to transmit anything remotely resembling the truth even when lines of communication are wide open ... it's difficult to get an accurate picture of which side is "winning," ...
++++
There are a handful of facts and those can be used to make at least broad-spectrum assessments. Nothing specific, though. Those facts are, as near as I can tell:
1. Russia invaded Ukraine
2. NATO considers Russia the enemy and supports Ukraine
3. There is a refugee wave if not a refugee crisis on the frontiers of Ukraine's western neighbors
4. The US media is trying to get US and NATO involved in the war, on Ukraine's side

Given these basic facts and the tone and stories in the US press, I conclude that Russia is winning. The US press is ramping up stories as part of their increasingly shrill calls for the US to enter the war. This leads me to conclude that Russia is probably winning and the press wants us to get into the war to stop Russia because Ukraine can't.

Plus you have to get it there. I suspect they aren't going to be sending crude. I'd bet that they'll release the reserves, refine it, and send the refined fuels derived from those barrels of crude oil. And IIRC, I think most countries with petroleum reserves stockpile refined product rather than crude and we are somewhat unusual in that we stockpile vast quantities of crude and refine it later when needed (as opposed to assuming our refining capacity might be offline due to war, which is a bad bet in smaller countries). I could well be misremembering that, though.

166 I have not seen ONE msmedia outlet blaming Biden for this. au contraire mon fraire, it's Trump's fault!

This might be the best evidence we're being gaslighted (gaslit?) here. Even given that a weak foreign policy gave Putin an opportunity, the only one at fault here is Putin. As far as I know, Ukraine wasn't actually being threatening toward Russia. Even with the "I don't want a NATO nation right on my border," logic, NATO has never been an offensive threat against Russia - and Putin knows it.

So why does "blame" have to come into a question about a war that does not directly involve us at all? Unless, of course, the only reason we're hearing about it is "blame" so that Trump can be further demonized and Little Joey Brownpants's poling numbers can be given a bit of a boost.

I take the other side on that. I could well be wrong, but I don't think he is trying to re-establish the old USSR or Russian empire. All of his expansionist moves have been to counter NATO expansion or color revolutions. He invaded Georgia to keep it out of NATO. He annexed the Crimea in response to the second Ukrainian color revolution, and declared that a bright line. He invaded Kazakhstan last year in response to a color revolution - but then went home. If he were hell-bent on reestablishing the USSR, he'd be occupying Astana/Nur-Sultan now.

This most recent incursion in Ukraine is, in my opinion (so take it for what it's worth, which is little) a combination of being able to (he can afford it) and in response to the attempted Kazakh revolution and Lloyd Austin's "NATO has an open door for Ukraine" position last year. I don't think he's looking for general conquest and imperial restoration.

The color revolutions are more CIA stuff than Soros stuff, but they're not misaligned with each other. The color revolution strategy is an American/western IC playbook to manufacture democratic overthrow and install friendly governments in those places. After the second one of these in Ukraine (2014), Putin took a hard line against it and I can understand that. His opposition wasn't to his neighbors engaging in self-government (though more NATO expansion would probably result in countering moves regardless, though mere non-treaty Western alignment probably wouldn't), but to the west installing their own puppets on his frontiers. If anything, I suspect the attempt in Kazakhstan (assuming that was us, and who knows - but it's the kind of thing we do) was probably the prime factor in this.

I can imagine a sort of parallel between China and Russia here... they both want general influence, so they will always try to push their neighbors into aligning with their interests. But there is also a strong territorial dynamic in play for specific regions, Ukraine for Russia and Taiwan for China. Whatever the rest of their puppeteering accomplishes in their orbit, those two areas are considered "Ours", and are worth going to bloody lengths to re-claim.

Imagine the difference between the U.S. trying to cajole the Philippines into a tighter relationship with Washington versus trying to re-claim a hypothetical Hawaii that had been split off from the Union and was under heavy Chinese influence.

218 E10 is a 5% tax on fuel economy. So at 4 bucks it cost you 20 cents. Fuck Iowa!
Posted by: rhennigantx at March 07, 2022

E10 got a whole bunch of ethanol plant construction jobs in Iowa for years. And spiked corn prices. And left a few decent paying jobs at the plants that managed to stay open after the glut. The windmill industry was able to reuse a bunch of that workforce to kill birds and support constant maintenance issues. One heck of a good employment and spending plan and only 1 downside. Everyone has to pay more $ for less energy.

Of course not. After the CDC capitulated last month, that particular factional war is largely over. The "COVID is over" crowd has won and now we have six months of mopping up while they stand down as many COVID rules as they can manage without causing the Karens to start shooting people.

If COVID is over, there's no place for Fauci. His brand of lies is no longer valuable, and so he is no longer booked. He will not be punished for what he has done, but he will probably retire soon and never be heard from again outside of a few retrospective thinkpieces wherein he describes all the good he did. No one will read them.

Big money. Big power. Trump was in over his head on so many issues because he was naive about the political side of things. He understood how to get the economy going and get things done in general, but was duped by even Judas Pence.

More importantly, it's NBC acknowledging that US-based Spanish-language news has been a front in the political information wars along. This has been obvious, but they just accidentally said the quiet part out loud.

And this in turn begs another question: if the Spanish-language press has been a political information warfare front, then doesn't that imply that the English-language press is, too?

238 Odd that a fistfight between Slavs is some sort of reason for NATO. NATO should have been shudown following the collapse of the Soviet Union. That it wasn't is the problem. Too many grifters in the kitchen to believe anything said or claimed in this movie. According to NATO's charter they have no legal or contractual reason to insert themselves into a war where no Article 5 condition has been met. Once one does insert themselves then the NATO contract is broken. No other member is required to come to the aid of rebel member. Doubt any of the 'rules' of NATO will be followed. So, we arrive at gang war.

Posted by: Guy Smiley

You would be wrong as someone formally diagnosed with it. Had the same issues last year after my first Covid infection experience. In my case, both my heart and lungs have taken a beating with spikes in blood pressure approaching stroke levels, eustachian tubes that are swollen affecting inner ear balance and risk of an ear infection, and other such pleasantries such as being out of breath crossing a room. And then there are the opportunistic secondary infections that come along with a severe case and I have had them too.

Often the case is a previously damaged immune system which I possess due to what my doc calls 'bad genes'. Despite my immunosuppressed status, I have never called for mask mandates, vaxx mandates, etc. for other healthy people.

Trump was boxed in by the plandemic and had very little room to maneuver, he viewed the vaccines as his only way out of the box and to get re-elected.

Sadly, Trump was robbed of the presidency and we were robbed of the only adult leader in the west.

249 A fundamental problem is the term "Globalist" is too benign and vacuous to describe these totalitarian vermin. To communicate properly a term that clearly denotes the ideology of greed, tyranny and indifference to humanity that constitutes Globalism is required.

Western governments have been brutal and murderous on their chattel the last two years, denying healthcare, destroying their jobs, mandating penury on those who don't surrender their bodies to the ruling class, wiping out businesses, executing the greatest wealth transfer to the wealthy ever seen, not giving the world a taste of famine and deprivation just to satisfy their vanity cult religions.

279 246, TJM,
Covid does damage (and the vaxx) latches onto ACE2 receptors in the body and those receptors are important to chemical signalling that the body uses. So, essentially, Covid or the vaxx damages different parts of the body depending on which ACE receptors get latched and this makes it difficult to diagnose unless it is a primary organ like the heart or lungs.

281 I thought they'd all have been dead-virus vaccines, myself.

There are a couple of vaccines around the world that use virons - Covaxin and Sinopharm are the most notable ones.

Fauci won't allow the former in the US (its Indian/British), and I don't think China wants to ship the latter here.

Thank you. After a post surgery hospitalization for arrhythmia I was prescribed something that made my balance issues caused by Parkinson's like tremors so fucking bad I had to use a cane to walk. It took a neurologist to figure that out since cardiologists think if your heart's ok everything is wonderful. I'm slowly getting back to semi normal, and try not to bother the Horde with it, but it's been rough on me and my wife.

285 I watched a short clip that Russel Brand put out recently. He had some really weird guy on to voice his opinion. I felt like I needed a shower after he spoke. He was some kind of socialist or far left kook. But I caught in the conversation a mention of some group Bernie Sanders created for the socialists worldwide, that he was advocating for. WTH. Bernie Sander's name popped up in all of this. The guy read some creepy letter from supposed "socialists" (and communists I suspect) from within Russia saying they wanted peace. It all sounded so full of propaganda. In the end, he said give Putin some of the border land, then make Ukraine neutral, and that would end this. Stop trying to get Ukraine into NATO and it would all stop.

I think, obviously, there is more to this. The bioweaponry sites, for example. But the fog of war is now in overdrive. No clue what will happen next. We have narcissistic psychopaths driving from all sides.

287 If you look at the map of where the Russians are in Ukraine you can see Putin is providing a corridor for evacuation before Kyev is surrounded. After that Putin's options are siege, bombard, or move into the city.

The weakness of the Russian army is overstated. Putin has the initiative and his timeline is longer than two weeks worth of news cycles.

288 Trump has been treated worse I than any president in history. And I know who was treated second worse, Abraham Lincoln.

Whatever you think about Trump or the vaccines, he followed his advisors and did what he thought was best. I don't have a problem with it. I have the vaxx, just like most people. If that was a life changing decision, we will know soon enough.
Just like I said a year ago, I got the vax so I could comfortably never wear the face diaper again. I do not wear it 3o minutes a month. And even that is only because of extreme circumstances.

A baby all bloodied on a bed, for example was a shot from Syria years ago. The baby was using recently as if from Ukraine. The skin was lightened up by photoshop, etc. And the bloodied "teacher" woman was proven to be taken from another conflict years ago. We have no idea what is real.

377 At my local gas station, gas was up fifty cents between last Saturday and this most recent Saturday (I don't drive much during the week and so didn't see the moves over those seven days). But that cannot be sustained for very long. Gas can't go up a bit more than seven cents per day for very long. That rates gives you an increase in gas price of $2.14 in one month - which in my area would imply a gas price of of $5.59 by the first week of next month and nearly $7.75 by the first week of May.

That is deep into demand destruction territory.

I'm still digesting it, but it clarified for me why this war has felt so "off" to me.

It is fundamentally a war between the globalist elites that have been trying to colonize Russia since the fall of the Berlin wall, and a nationalist Russia that won't bend to the globalists.

Explains very well why Soros and gang are so hard over on "Support Free Ukraine".

Russian victory depends a lot on their ability to resist the global financial and tech control mechanisms, which are the same tools they used against the truckers and they intend to use against us if we step out of line.

It may have, but the movements are small time-wise. Filling up Wednesday and Saturday (if you're a commuter) instead of just Wednesday is still the same amount of fuel being used in a single week. All of the remote work might be more important in this case, since some people who bought gas once a month are now buying it once a week (people like me, in other words). The absolute quantities aren't changing, but there is a big difference between four gallons four times a month versus 16 gallons once a month in terms of supply.

To continue this much longer than I wanted but you make some pertinent points. I'm going to see a woman cardiologist tomorrow who has been refreshingly honest with me. Nobody tells you that small non debilitating strokes are common with heart surgery brought on by anaesthetics and/or having your blood rerouted. She was present when I noticed that my vocabulary temporarily became mostly AWOL. I was surrounded by neurologists at the time who started peppering me with questions about this and that (mostly motor skills type things) making me wonder how much longer Hospital Jeopardy would continue. She's been refreshingly honest with me and I trust her more than the rest of the organic auto mechanics.

Based on what he's said - NATO out of Ukraine, replace Zelensky with a leader friendly to Russia, the Russian/separatist regions, and demilitarization of Ukraine.

The FNM has generally claimed he wants to annex Ukraine, and then invade the rest of Eastern Europe which seems, rather unlikely. This is the real world, not Hearts of Iron or Risk.

Most of the working class legal immigrants try to fit in. It is elite immigration that generally wants something else and they link up with the progs who also want something else. Perfect example is constitutional protections of free speech which is abnormal even among other Anglo countries. Elite immigrants coming from other places have different attitudes as does those on the left who are natives. So, something like hate speech restrictions feel quite normal to elite immigrants as does the native left.

No, it's not the Palis. And it definitely was not a shithole, and still isn't for those who are connected to Hezbollah. There is a lot of wealth in Lebanon. They are an entrepreneurial people. Hezbollah at the behest of the Iranian regime essentially has frozen most of the wealthy's bank accounts. This is a result of the economic sanctions placed on Iran by Trump.

It's completely different from what most people in the West are saying. Namely, that the Russians have the military capability to run over Ukraine, but they do NOT make war the way the US does, the whole "Shock and Awe" BS, where the US completely destroys a country (see Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan), and that the Russians are trying NOT to turn Ukraine into another Raqqa, and that they are purposely and methodically encircling the Ukies, and trying their best NOT to kill too many civilians, who they basically see as their countrymen and who will eventually continue to be their neighbors.
