The Morning Report

The Morning Report - 3/9/22

Good morning, kids. Wednesday and is it just me or am I starting to not give a flying fig about Putin and the Ukraine? Don't get me wrong; one idiotic miscalculation from any party concerned and hair will be mussed. Considering the mental state as well as the complete cluelessness of the junta controlling our government, that possibility rises exponentially each day that this situation continues unresolved, one way or another. I'll use the usually reliable PJ Media's clueless Rick Moran as my foil. Get this:

Joe Biden has performed above expectations since Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. In some ways, especially in the way he built a very tough sanctions regime, he has been impressive. Getting NATO to follow the U.S. lead at almost every turn has been a welcome surprise. . .
. . . Biden's biggest problem going forward will be to maintain NATO cohesion while putting the screws on Russia. But Biden has to be careful not to paint Putin into a corner where the Russian president might feel that his only way to survive is to start a general war and eventually cross the threshold into nuclear war. . .
. . . After the crisis is over, there will be plenty of time to criticize Biden for his shortsighted and dramatically stupid energy policy. But for now, I'm sticking with Biden and will support him because Americans need to be united in times of crisis.

Ho. Lee. Fook. "Americans need to be united in times of crisis???" Aside from the fact that every "crisis" over the past several years or more has been one that has been accidentally created by Democrat or RINO administrations (legitimate or not) or more likely manufactured out of whole cloth as the excuse/expediency to seize as much power as possible, everyone from the lowliest Antifa stormtrooper up to Ron Klain has been baying for our blood because we refuse to wear a face diaper, or refuse to allow our children to be raped mind and body, forcibly sex-changed or murdered in the womb, or refuse to believe the myth that the 82 million votes for Joe Biden were not cast by only about a dozen or so living people, that white people are genetically racist and America itself is evil and illegitimate, and on and on and on.

But, I digress. About Joe Biden's performing above expectations:

Now, if you were Poland, in secret negotiations with both Ukraine and the United States to send military aid to Ukraine, but in such a way that you didn't immediately get attacked by Russia, how would you feel if the American secretary of state suddenly blurted all this out on national television? "We're talking with our Polish friends right now—in secret, of course, so don't tell anyone!"
Faced with this astonishing interview, it's no wonder Poland felt compelled to contradict the "rumors" immediately to avoid worse fallout. It appears the Biden [junta] is so desperate to show that they're doing something to stop the world from disintegrating that they're willing to air private conversations with a NATO ally, even if they wreck a strategy in the process.
Now, as icing on the cake, a deal that involved a lot of negotiation and that even got Blinken's official "green light" on CBS finally comes off—to the point where Poland makes an official announcement—and, hours later, the United States gives Poland the shaft, presenting our allies the worst of both worlds and sacrificing Poland (again) to appease Russia. What kind of disaster are we witnessing here?

Yes, Rick Moran. You sure know how to pick a winner. Absolute brilliance by Team Biden right there. Sheesh. Honestly, aside from praying nobody does anything colossally stupid in the vein of what deep thinkers like Lindsay Graham and Sean Hannity want and that this conflict comes to a swift conclusion, I really could care fuck all right now about Russia and Ukraine, the suffering of truly innocent people on the ground notwithstanding. And here's a crisis that's both phony and real at the same time: It's the mythical man-caused climate change and the absolutely real man-caused catastrophe of destroying our oil, coal and natural gas industries as the solution to the first. From the ridiculous Rick Moran to the sublime Robert Spencer:

We are all in the midst of a turning point, and the green energy forces are not going to let it go to waste. On Tuesday, Old Joe Biden said that the situation was going to get worse, as prices are "gonna go up," and that he couldn't do anything about it. "Can't do much right now. Russia's responsible." Biden also risibly claimed that "It's simply not true that my administration or policies are holding back domestic energy production."
How is it possible that the [so-called quote-unquote "president"] of the United States could be such a shameless liar and constantly get a pass for it from the establishment media? In lying so brazenly, Biden must know that no "journalist" will challenge him, and he must also have such a low opinion of the American people that he assumes most will not realize he is lying. On that score, he may be at least partially right: it's likely many Americans don't know that Biden promised, during a presidential debate, that he would "transition away from the oil industry. . . "
. . . It looks as if Biden's handlers will do anything but relieve the plight of the American people, the plight that they themselves created. If they did ease up on their restrictions on the domestic oil industry and restart work on the Keystone Pipeline, they would face the wrath of the far-Left greens who constitute the great bulk of their base, and it is clear that Biden's handlers will do anything but cross them. Instead, they're using this crisis as an opportunity to try to foist their green agenda on the American people, while we have no choice but to go along.

Cloward and Piven envisioned collapsing America from within by an impossibly massive expansion of the welfare state that would result in economic collapse to enable chaos, anarchy and then a seizure of absolute power. We're certainly well on our way to that by ourselves. But with energy prices skyrocketing on top of the aforementioned compounded by stagflation, we're on the highway to hell. Now, expand that out not just to the nation formerly known as the United States of America but the entire world and that sound you are hearing is Ernst Stavro Blofeld having projectile orgasms.

Under the WEF's "Great Reset," individual freedom, personal responsibility, and opportunities for growth and self-fulfillment will be eroded away. Democracy, the free market and national sovereignty will be replaced by a new world order, stakeholder capitalism and centralized control by some NGOs, globalist corporations and the elite. Klaus Schwab, the WEF's founder and executive chairman, gloated over the pandemic: to him, it was a "window of opportunity" for this reset.
Among the major components of the Great Reset, according to the WEF, are: a) working towards the creation of a stakeholder economy, as opposed to shareholder economy; and b) leveraging investments to achieve social goals of equality and sustainability. Translated into policy and action, the Great Reset is being ushered in directly through global public-private partnerships (GPPP) and environment, social justice, and good governance (ESG) investing. Indirectly, modern monetary theory (MMT) is contributing to its ultimate goals of bringing about the economic ruin and chaos necessary for the advent of the New World Order. . .
. . . A prime example of GPPP played out during the pandemic. Big Pharma – Pfizer, Moderna and others – had received decades of foundational government funding for vaccine research. They had also obtained liability waivers. During Operation Warp Speed, the funding was accelerated: over $18 billion in taxpayer dollars was invested in six potential vaccines. Government promotion of vaccines as the only solution and mandates requiring citizens to take multiple shots augmented the pharma giants' profits. Medical opinion that opposed vaccination, promoted other effective treatments, and questioned if the pandemic was engineered were suppressed. . .
. . . MMT envisages two further controls that will crush the individual. Under the pretext of saving the planet from climate change and simultaneously ushering in a more equitable world, governments will begin to control everything – products, production, labor and even consumer spending. Companies will be required to produce certain goods and not others, and demand will be lessened by monitoring and regulating the finances of individuals.
And under the pretext of transparency, MMT will eliminate fiat currency and the autonomy and anonymity it provides to make way for a centralized digital currency system. Governments will keep tabs on everything you have, everything you spend, everyone you associate with. A donation to a cause the government dislikes will make you a marked person. Even without digital currency, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, a liberal and a graduate of Schwab's school for Young Global Leaders, effectively managed to stifle protest by using emergency orders to freeze the funds of the mandate-opposing Freedom Convoy.
The WEF's Great Reset of capitalism is dangerously under way. It threatens to destroy all that Americans consider sacred – the free market, the Constitution, the nation, and above all, the individual.

I would say the one big fly in the ointment so to speak is Xi the Pooh. The Chi-Coms and what still remains of our economy are in a symbiotic/parasitic relationship. On the one hand, they are sucking us dry in their bid for global domination while at the same time they need our market and economy healthy enough to fuel their growth. If Klaus Schwab, Nazi collaborator George Soros, Hans-Georg Wyss et al are trying to destroy our economy and society, they seem to be in direct conflict with the aims of Xi and his mandarins.

In any case, I don't understand what they think they're going to control or how they think they're going to profit by impoverishing perhaps upwards of two billion people whose economic activity allowed them to rake in their fortunes in the first place. It makes no sense to me, but what the hell do I know? The fact remains though that we have manifestly irresponsible and ideologically deranged individuals that are pushing the throttle to "ludicrous speed" in driving us over the cliff. When it all crashes, what then?

Those of us who were part of the Baby Boom generation, now in our 60s and 70s, no longer recognize the nation in which we grew up. We are strangers in a land that gets stranger by the day.
We believed in the American dream. We worked hard, paid our taxes and obeyed the law —even laws we thought were idiotic.
We married and had children. Today's young adults cohabit and have pets.
We struggled to raise families. Some of us went to war, like our fathers and grandfathers before us. We thought that when we grew old, there would be more for us – more than alienation.
Most of us don't recognize Biden's America. . .
. . . On top of living in a country that's unrecognizable, we can't even afford to live here anymore. You need a second mortgage to buy a steak. A hamburger and fries at McDonald's is a gourmet feast.
Filling up the tank is agonizing. Paying confiscatory taxes marks us as serfs. Inflation is at an almost 40-year high, and politicians tell us it's because government isn't spending enough.
Our parents could retire at 65, in the mortgage-free home they bought in their 30s. We're still working at 75. Retirement is a distant dream. We're working to provide benefits for illegal aliens, addicts and loons who camp and defecate on the streets.
Many of us are the grandchildren of immigrants, a fact of which we are proud. Our people helped to build this country. But we witness with unalloyed horror the tide flowing across our southern border unimpeded. The middle class view them as criminals, gang members and mooches. The Democratic party sees them as voters. We can't defend our own borders, but are expected to defend those of distant lands. . .
. . . Washington sputters about Putin's war on Ukraine, but imports 670,000 barrels of Russian oil a day. While he lets pipelines rust and our oil, coal and natural gas remain in the ground, Biden pleads with the Saudis to pump more – and is thinking about imports from the Marxists of Venezuela and the jihadists of Iran, both Russian allies. Apparently, oil from anywhere outside the U.S. doesn't pollute.
Officeholders for life treat us like mentally-challenged children. They snicker at those who pay their exorbitant salaries.
So we limp along into old age, too proud to go on the dole and too stubborn to just give up.

I'm pushing 62. My motto these days is "old enough to know better but young enough not to give a damn." My family is mostly gone and it's getting to a point where I have nothing left to lose. What keeps me and responsible people across the country (a country that once was) on the straight and narrow, is our morality, ethics and respect for the law and the rights of others. Considering everything in the wake of the 2020 election, it is evident that those in power have thrown that right out the window. If they continue down this path, and there is little to stop them in the way of whatever that still remains of regular order or checks and balances such as they might still exist, considering there are three years left (in theory) of this illegitimate junta, then we will arrive at a point where me and millions of others like me will have no alternative left or G-d forbid even the compunction to do things that we only imagined in a nightmare.

That's not a threat. But it is a prediction. G-d help us. More to the point, G-d help them if they succeed.

22 I'm pushing 62. My motto these days is "old enough to know better but young enough not to give a damn." My family is mostly gone and it's getting to a point where I have nothing left to lose. What keeps me and responsible people across the country (a country that once was), is our morality, ethics and respect for the law and the rights of others.

I believe that the Revelation to John, no matter your eschatology, (I would argue that Revelation is the greatest post-modern writing ever) the take-away is Christians don't need to overthrow the government - the meta narrative has God winning in the end.

That, and I'm not going to throw away my life in a battle for Freedom so that my neighbor can vote the next day for a resumption of full throated communism.

Verse for the day:
"Truth is lacking, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. The Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice. He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no one to intervene; then his own arm brought him victory, and his righteousness upheld him. He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and wrapped himself in fury as a mantle."

30 "Joe Biden has performed above expectations since Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. In some ways, especially in the way he built a very tough sanctions regime, he has been impressive."

It's nice when you can measure success based on what you do, and not whether it's effective. Trump's presidency was the only since 2000 that didn't have some kind of Russian incursion against its neighbors, but he was a failure. The others all made speeches and sanctions, but failed to prevent aggression, so they're successes.

And Hillary Clinton was our best Secretary of State because she traveled eleven-bajillinty miles, and not a failure because she accomplished nothing of significance. Why she was a better Sec of State than the pilot that flew her is still a mystery.

87 Faced with this astonishing interview, it's no wonder Poland felt compelled to contradict the "rumors" immediately to avoid worse fallout. It appears the Biden [junta] is so desperate to show that they're doing something to stop the world from disintegrating that they're willing to air private conversations with a NATO ally, even if they wreck a strategy in the process.

Well that, or maybe Blinken is an idiot like his boss is. Biden said he was fine with just the tip and Blinken is discussing strategic movements on live television. Is this a "willingness to to air private conversations" or is it just stupidity and carelessness? Increasingly, I'm betting on the latter.

The only "good" thing about this is that if they passed it unanimously, it guarantees that the law is a piece of virtue signaling boilerplate that is useless for any practical purposes. It does appear that it gives the feds even more cover for going after political enemies; but they've already gone full Judge Dredd on that anyway, so it hardly matters.

109 Translated into policy and action, the Great Reset is being ushered in directly through global public-private partnerships (GPPP) and environment, social justice, and good governance (ESG) investing.

132 And under the pretext of transparency, MMT will eliminate fiat currency and the autonomy and anonymity it provides to make way for a centralized digital currency system. Governments will keep tabs on everything you have, everything you spend, everyone you associate with. A donation to a cause the government dislikes will make you a marked person. Even without digital currency, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, a liberal and a graduate of Schwab's school for Young Global Leaders, effectively managed to stifle protest by using emergency orders to freeze the funds of the mandate-opposing Freedom Convoy.
++++
This is a lousy paragraph. The currency is still fiat, it's just not physical. It's another step removed. Digital currency is non-anonymous and fully transparent, albeit in only one direction. The actions in Canada are derived from this unidirectional transparency on electronic transactions. It's a taste of what a cashless society would be like.

Moreover, MMT doesn't mandate cashless economies in its theory. It does in practical terms because "negative interest" or "wealth taxes" won't work if you can pull money out of the bank, but it's a downstream effect.

141 Lynchings were violent public acts that white people used to terrorize and control Black people in the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly in the South, explains the NAACP on their website.

While whites (Democrats, usually but not always) in the south did indeed lynch black people (happened in the north from time to time, too, btw), lynchings were less about about "terroriz[ing] and control[ing]" anyone and much more about mob "justice" that cared much more about making the locals feel good than whether or not someone deserved to be punished for something.

The fact is that Venn Diagram (making the locals feel good vs. terrorizing and controlling the Black population) did indeed have a lot of overlap. But people's actual motives are important, too.

Fun fact, the last lynching in Texas occurred in Eastland County right between Eastland and Cisco. The man lynched was a white guy and one of the "Santa Clause bandits" who had robbed a bank and (probably accidentally) killed a well-liked deputy during the frackas.

I'd like to believe another massive wildcard they're not considering is the vast masses of people who did not sign up for what they're trying to do. At least insofar as Americans are concerned, we didn't sign on to the unraveling of our country's foundation (far leftists and assorted imbeciles aside). We didn't give the green light to the demolition of our energy, to a full-on loss of individual freedom, to no property rights, to unseen and unaccountable world oligarchs directing our very lives. We are also a huge variable in their plans. I know, I know...a lot of us here are jaded on our fellow citizens when push comes to shove. But we've never before faced what we're facing now. And soon, it will be undeniable. If we all fall in line relatively quietly, it's truly over. We're theirs. But I have a feeling it's not going to be as easy as they think it is.

At the same time, the war destroyed generations of European males and leaders and culture, while the peace created ridiculous maps of regions ensuring long standing conflict and other terms ensured the next war would be always on the horizon. Oh, and created the Soviet threat. Don't let them keep doing this people.

Harry Harrison wrote a series of books about a "Stainless Steel Rat" who is essentially a master criminal in a society that doesn't have much in the way of real crime. He is recruited by the Special Corps (former master criminals) to go after the REAL criminals that enslave and terrorize normal people. I always found them highly entertaining and inspiring in a twisted way when I read them as a teenager. There's a definite mindset adjustment required to become a "stainless steel rat."

A lot of the criminal activity we see now, where criminals basically run rampant in cities, shows how people are embracing this ethos.

This is very telling. I believe her. It would not surprise me if nobody told her that vaccine efficacy would wane with mutation and even if it works initially, it won't keep working - especially since it wasn't a very good vaccine.

But this brings up a couple of questions - especially if it is true, which it probably is. As one of the premier public health authorities, why did she not know this already? As a major political officeholder, why was she not exposed to public commentary on this topic? After all, many people were publicly discussing this. As a person in high government leadership, why is she depending entirely on internal advice and not once using her own brain to ask obvious questions? Even if she's non-expert and unexposed to outside opinions, she can still formulate questions like, "will this keep working for a long time" and ask them.

But what's also true is that the Boomers voted themselves benefits at every turn, put the cost onto their children, and lived outside of their means and can't retire. They're screwing the next generation by loading them with public debt and staying in the workforce forever.

And not giving af about the Beatles isn't a sign of poor taste in music. It's a sign of having grown up in a different decade.

222 I'll just comment on that first quote from Moran before getting my day started.

The sanctions against Russia will be ineffective regardless of how united the world is. The only people who are going to be hurt are us.

Russia has been working for 2 decades on becoming self sufficient and they are there. The are an exporter of basic foods, critical minerals, and energy.

The Russian financial system operates without involvement of the global banking system and the IMF, the value of the ruble internally within Russia is holding steady when used to purchase food and fuel. Their inflation rate is very flat compared to ours. Russia has few foreign debts, and the ones they have will be paid in rubles. So the artificial exchange rate between dollars and rubles is irrelevant.

A lot of policy is being made in wishful thinking, not reality.

There's not one cell in my entire body that feels sorry for Joe Biden. He is pure scum. Corrupt and amoral on a level that is rarely seen. He's every single thing wrong with a politician, albeit he's certainly not alone in that distinction.

Whatever his motives in the time leading up to the '20 election, he's wanted the presidency for decades. He was and is pompous and arrogant enough to believe he deserved it. At many points prior to the last phony election, he could've realized his mental faculties were no longer up to the task. But he's full of himself and put himself out there. Oh, did I say he's pure scum?

232 One of the most (darkly) amusing lynchings I've read about happened in Edinbugh, Scotland, in 1736. As always, the local government at the time was oppressive and hated by the populace, and Captain of the Guard John Porteous had ordered his men to fire into a crowd when it got unruly while he hung some smugglers. A boy was killed, many others shot, and eventually John Porteous was seized by a huge, angry mob and hung in the middle of the Haymarket. Sic semper tyrannis and all that.

You got it. The globalist rulers don't like Iran so much as they hate America and the rubes that live in it. They *want* Iran as a nuclear-armed regional hegemon. The want this not because they love Iran as such, but because it will create a power base elsewhere that we can periodically fight and shunt wealth into. The WEF scheme (they laid it out, thought they might not have invented it) is for six roughly co-equal regional powers that are all more or less aligned. Iran would be one of them.

I strongly suspect ValJar was at the head of it - she was born in Iran, and has had very strong ties to Iran for her entire life.

272 SAINT OF THE DAY
St. Frances of Rome (1384-1440) was born to a noble family in Rome. As a young girl her desire to become a nun was refused by her father, who instead arranged her marriage at the age of 12. St. Frances accepted this as God's will. She was married for 40 years and had children, two of whom died. St. Frances converted her home into a hospital. She drove with a wagon into the streets and collected the sick and alone in order to care for them. She miraculously cured many people, and also began the city's first orphanage. She eventually founded a congregation of lay oblates attached to the Benedictine monastery known as the Oblates of St. Frances of Rome. After her husband's death she entered religious life as the group's superior. One of the great mystics of her time, she dictated 97 visions and was visibly guided by her guardian angel throughout her life. St. Frances of Rome is the patron saint of many causes, including motorists, pilots, women, widows, and against plague and the death of children. On her feast day many priests bless cars due to her patronage of cars and drivers.

293 Harry Harrison wrote a series of books about a "Stainless Steel Rat" who is essentially a master criminal in a society that doesn't have much in the way of real crime. He is recruited by the Special Corps (former master criminals) to go after the REAL criminals that enslave and terrorize normal people. I always found them highly entertaining and inspiring in a twisted way when I read them as a teenager. There's a definite mindset adjustment required to become a "stainless steel rat."

A lot of the criminal activity we see now, where criminals basically run rampant in cities, shows how people are embracing this ethos.

That added a lot of pressure to a market that was already on its way to the moon. They are still sorting things out as I write this.

For what it is worth, nickel is an essential element in the battery of an electronic vehicle. The other is lithium. Most of that is mined in China although they found a huge deposit in Nevada. Of course, the Green movement wants the lithium in Nevada to stay in the ground yet they agree with Buttigieg that we all should be buying electric cars. Green people are out of touch with reality. When the wheel was invented in the Stone Age, they'd have kept dragging things around.

Nickel's rally, and the reliance on Russia for supply is going to make electronic cars a lot more expensive. Stainless steel just got a lot more expensive too. How many things does stainless steel go into?

I think that's backwards; for me being a mom gives me all the more reason to keep pushing against the left. As for all this "We are in this together" blather...no, we are not. The people who want to defend the Ukraine and go war with Russia are the same people who for 2 years would not come to my house, didn't want me in theirs, took away my work, tried to force me to wear masks and wouldn't let me in when I wouldn't, and were afraid to work with me because I understood the dangers of the vaccines. So they can all take up arms and go to the Ukraine and fight for it themselves. I'm not playing.

349 It seems a lot of people still don't believe Putin is not trying to rebuild the Soviet Union and he is not trying to level Ukraine. He is trying to accomplish what he's said he wants all along, a neutral Ukraine and the annexation of the territory he believes belongs to Russia."

If so, then Putin has made a huge error, because he *is* going to have to level Ukraine in order to control it. See reports from Mauripol this morning. If he thought he could take Ukraine intact, he thought wrong. The Battle of Kiev is getting set to be the Battle of Stalingrad, Part Deux.

361 The interesting thing bout Putin's invasion is Russia is up against 300,000 active duty Ukrainian military and 900,000 reserves, many of whom have active combat experience against Russia over the last eight years. Russia invaded with only 190,000 better equipped and armed troops but less well trained, and ignored their opportunity to bomb for a week or so to soften the targets.

It almost seems like Putin has limited objectives in the war.

We'll see but so far the constant reports that he is losing have been wrong. He's currently circling Kiev and has largely taken southern Ukraine and the Donbas region.

This is not dissimilar from what he did in other places like Chechnya and Georgia. Circling power centers and squeezing them into submission.

The really huge error was made by Biden and NATO. We should have stopped screwing around in Ukraine and other countries like Georgia and Kazakhstan years ago and kept our promise not to expand NATO.

422 I don't really care about Russia or the Ukraine. My first and foremost concern is for our country. We just watched the Democrats try to steal our last election. They are trying to undermine that process again. They have destroyed our liberty, using COVID as their excuse. They have trampled our energy independence for their green scams which will benefit their donors. They have brought crime to our communities and divided neighbors against each other so they could further seize power. They have opened our borders and flooded the country with illegal immigrants, paid for with our tax money- all while I watch local families and seniors struggle to make ends meet. Many middle class Americans are being financially destroyed by Democrats inflation, gas prices and fiscal mismanagement. Meanwhile, there isn't a single person with courage standing up for us. Not one.

Ukraine is nothing but a diversion from the real issues which are more important, and existential to every one of us.

430 I was reading that some of the "disputed" territory in the Ukraine is rich in chip-building materials.

I'm beginning to think this whole foofaraw looks like 3 things:

1) Putin wants a better, more diverse economy. Not just one dependent on oil.

2) It's easy to grow the Microsoft way, ie. just absorb what you want

3) Putin really doesn't want the whole Ukraine (but he would take it if "cheap"). This is strictly a bargaining position. As long as he gets the productive land he wants and security promises. This incursion is over.

435 "working towards the creation of a stakeholder economy, as opposed to shareholder economy"

in one sense, the "stakeholder" concept would be fine, if it was more local ownership and responsive to the people in the company and community. But the WEF version is the oligarchs own everything and push "global initiatives" on the people.

Normal shareholders barely get a voice ... the ocean of money in Vanguard or other mutual funds, I guess they get all the votes on how the company is run. Small business is more "stakeholder" responsive to the community/nation, but they got attacked with the bio-weapon response ... seems rather planned .. from above, like Ukraine/Russia instigation seems planned.

Close your eyes to the evil on both sides if you wish with non-sequiturs like your comment, but the problem remains that Ukrainian and Russian governments are both not up to whatever your standards may be. This is also the third war in ten years between them. Were you equally ready to commit American lives in past conflicts? How about in Yemen, or other equally brutal places? Should America get involved whenever armies rape and pillage?

"Our" monsters hate us more.

Impoverishing people, which is really the Deep State's endgame, is no act of love. We will see food and fuel riots in the near future, and that will be the opening act.

But I'll go out on a limb here: "our" monsters will meet the same fate as other monsters have in the past, and probably sooner rather than later.

448 Nobody has identified for me what our fundamental interest in Ukraine is. In fact, there is more to suggest that the encroachment of NATO, and the lack of foresight to address that issue was one of the causa belli.

Democrats have used Russia as their political whipping boy for years. That's demonstrably true and one very big reason why our relationship is so bad. So you'll excuse me if I sit this one out and focus on things that really matter. Because this isn't one of them.

453 You are all to kind. I've just had it with the deliberate diversions and weakness on the part of those meant to protect us. I almost punched a friend in the throat last night after he tried to argue that Democrats have not hurt our relationship with Russia. I then went through the litany of everything from Bush and Obama being apathetic or ignoring/not addressing the threats to that cackling idiot Hillary, the phony election interference claims and the attacks on President Trump using Russia as their phony villain. Jackass.

We are here because Democrats put us here. Now Brandon is trying to make Russia his excuse for high gas prices and inflation? F these people. They don't care about anything but themselves.

I was talking about Ukraine, just to clarify. I agree Putin "winning" in Ukraine is both outside of our control and won't save us from Biden. Personally I think Ukraine looks as if it will fight for years against the Russians.

Viewing Ukraine as a macguffin for a moment, domestic politics are unaffected by the Ukraine invasion. But my fear is that group around Biden is so stupid that in trying for a distraction they stumble into a real conflict. Basically, I just really do not trust the junta not to fatally screw this up.

455 "Meanwhile, there isn't a single person with courage standing up for us. Not one."

They exist (or did exist) but are ignored, maligned, threatened or killed. Phil Haney. Jesse Lee Peterson. Mychal Massie. Robert Bork, Joseph Farah. Mike Adams. Michelle Malkin, Rabbi Daniel Lapin, for a few.

There are many Evangelicals, John MacArthur, Dr. James Dobson, David Reagan, David Jeremiah,
Star Parker, Tommy Nelson and dozens more dismissed as snake-handling, toothless hair shirts seated on donkeys and charging windmills.

Problem is, those we ignored and laughed at were pretty much correct: look where we are. Not to quibble, but the election steal wasn't a "try," it was a "done."

457 I am actually feeling optimistic. The gas prices are rising too fast, and food prices even more so. For the globalists plan to work they needed this to happen in a slow and controlled manner to sleep walk people into tyranny, not so fast that people simply blamed whoever was in charge at that time.

Democrats are in charge...they will take the blame. So will many institutions from the media to academia. The key is will the GOP take advantage and pin it to their heads. Trump and a few others will of course, but is the party ready to take advantage of a opportunity that only happens once in a generation. Biden is the Democrats version of Herbert Hoover.
