Very much a possibility that one of the goals of putin is to destabilize the country so much that it falls apart without much effort. He’s doing a pretty good job with that here.

Fox is cheerleading Russian invasions of US allies and licking the boots of a (literal) KGB colonel.

Anyone who still votes Republican in 2022 is now a willing Kremlin stooge.

Every veteran who gave his or her life in defense of American freedom and values rolls in their grave.

Which country? Why have I had the feeling that there are some people out there that just want to continue the pretense that the sky is falling here.

Hmmm

Nope, I would think a new one will pop up anytime now.

Reznikov has a point. Putin has spent a load of cash on his build up and although the Russian markets did poorly today and people there are getting pissed off with him, he’s a power hungry megalomaniac who won’t like to back down. He’d be more apt to go with what felt right to him, invade if NATO and allies show to much strength.

Well pretty much all of Europe (aside from countries that are already under his corrupt influence) and the US.

Musgrove _ad_infinitum?

Hahahaaa… ABC news just reported what the judge just said about Palin not being vaccinated. It’s not a Liberal Media yet but it’s closer.

Is Nord Stream 2 running yet? The question is: does Putin want it to?

Painted himself into a corner.

Oh, did russia not invade a country and take part of its land and has a mass amount of troops around its border? Not sure about you but there seems to be a bit more proof of russia’s aggression compared to bush’s wmd fallacy.

I still think Putin is trying to appear strong when he is weak. Hope he has played his cards badly and this becomes an opportunity to rid the world of him.
