Where's Dmitry Medvedev?

I was wondering the same about Anna Kournikova

If you heard anything about Putin's speech yesterday, you would realize that The PAMan has been AOTC on the "new" Soviets for years. Always trust content from The PAMan.

"Ukraine's president has arrested his main political opponent." -- TC
"Kurt D. Volker, at the time special envoy for Ukraine settlement talks, told the Ukrainians that investigating Mr. Poroshenko was “not a wise way forward for the country,” Mr. Kent said."
...
“'Oh, you mean the type of investigations you’re asking us to open against Clinton and Biden,” Mr. Yermak responded, according to Mr. Kent."

Holy shit. What pee tape does Putin have on him? "Border dispute with Ukraine." Carlson used to have something to say that at least sought to make you think. This is just sad.

Will Tucker pull a Jane Fonda and go to Russia to pose in a tank?

"What is this really about? Why do I hate Putin so much? Has Putin ever called me a racist? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him? Has he shipped every middle-class job in my town to Russia? Did he manufacture a worldwide pandemic that wrecked my business and kept me indoors for two years? Is he teaching my children to embrace racial discrimination? Is he making fentanyl? Is he trying to snuff out Christianity? Does he eat dogs?"
He does poison journalists that disagree with him.
-
Carlson quotes John Bolton: "I think we should have had more American forces in Ukraine not to fight the Russians, but to train with the Ukrainians and to show those Russian generals looking across the border and seeing American flags"
Carlson then responds to that: "So, the only problem with Joe Biden's Ukraine policy, says John Bolton, is that it's too weak. Your kids aren't fighting there right now, hunkered down in February, shooting at Putin."
Fox hosts always tell lie after lie, but it's seldom that obvious.

What is this Ukraine thing other than a border dispute ?
Does anyone know this history here?

Ronald Reagan would kick Tucker Carlson and you in the balls if he saw either of you right now. Hell, I would kick you in the balls because you are a dopehead sucking off the disability teat.

Well, see, the border is there, and then the Russian tanks crossed over it and claimed a bunch of territory that's not Russian territory, so yes.

If you turn on the television right now, I hope you recognize that this is exactly why the following exists:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Yesterday, people in Ukraine, civilians, were told they could come pick up guns from a location to fight Russian troops. People who have never carried a weapon, learned how to use a weapon, etc.
It's your right and responsibility to learn how to defend yourself (and those who cannot defend themselves) against enemies, foreign and domestic.
We are so fortunate to have the military strength we do. But our military representation isn't 1:1 civilian to military, so it's up to you to decide what it looks like if the "impossible" arrives on your doorstep.
-
I’m sure that will go over like a lead balloon.
Ukraine’s citizens having more privately owned firearms and training wouldn’t so much as faze the might of the Russian military. Would just piss off the Russians and lead to higher numbers of civilian casualties.
If we assume there’s a value to having hundreds of millions of legally owned private firearms in our country, it isn’t to protect us from foreign invasion. If a major power overpowers our military, we are straight fucked. No Red Dawn scenarios, sorry.
The value (for those who own the guns and those who are friends with them) would be in the face of some cataclysmic disaster, or a famine, or some other breakdown of the thin veil of society wherein individuals are protecting their homes, families and supplies from those who would endeavor to take it from them.
I imagine that within 2-3 weeks (max) of grocery store shelves being empty, no electricity, etc. that people would start doing WINT to take care of themselves and their families. Including forcefully taking from their neighbors and venturing en masse into the countryside in search of anything they could get their hands on to survive regardless of cost.
Having a little arsenal and knowing how to use it would be useful in such a scenario, because chances are small the military or police are going to be able to do fuck-all about it until it’s way too late. Even if your smart phone was miraculously still functional.
It appears Ukraine is pretty much fucked unless NATO commits to full force and starts actual WWIII. I thought maybe Putin was content with just annexing the states that wanted to be annexed. I mean, in that case, fuck it. Let them have what they want and move on. The borders of European states have been constantly shifting since recorded history. Some of Ukraine just seems like it belongs to Russia culturally and geographically.
Putin has to know he’s asking for monumental bloodshed and potential global apocalypse if he goes any farther than Ukraine. So he won’t. Even if he’s absolutely mental, and he very well may be, it’s just not a chance Russia can take. There will be nothing left. For them or anyone else.
So since the economic threats haven’t done the trick it basically leaves two choices for the West. Cede Ukraine to Russia, which has traditional ties to Russia and part of which wants to BE RUSSIA, then clamp down economically and strengthen NATO in neighboring areas OR light the fuse to the end of the world.
I definitely think there’s a contingent of global elites who seek depopulation and a complete reset of the global economy. I’ve been saying since about 2012 on IlliniHQs that we can’t just keep making shit we don’t need and paying for it with money we don’t have and depositing the detritus into landfills that can’t continue forever. But no one is going to campaign on that platform, so it’s just going to be done at a much higher level in ways we don’t even want to imagine.
Covid didn’t do the trick, so war it is? Seemed plenty of people really wanted Covid to be the doomsday virus, particularly for those who they opposed politically, but it failed. Immediately the focus shifts to this shit show. Every single conflict we’ve been involved in since I was born was complete bullshit. Not sure the several proceeding it weren’t complete bullshit as well. The public gets fed a bunch of lies to get us behind conflict, then we find out later it was just more Western imperialism.
I’m 40 years old and I’m this jaded. How can the people who lived through Viet Nam (or the select few like Nichi who remember the golden days of WWII and Korea) not be just a little skeptical of what we are being fed?
-
Yep.
And color me a little skeptical on what we are being fed.
I'm not sure about the Covid tho. I'll still go with a lab leak from a project that we were funding and that project was vaccine oriented. If the project had another purpose, I wouldn't be surprised.
Zelensky is hoping to live thru the weekend and Biden is off to Delaware for the weekend. The Biden's got their money out of Ukraine, so whatever happens happens.
Meanwhile, we can't sanction Russia's oil because we need and buy their oil.
-
Or maybe some people are irrational and/or self-interested.
Nah, you're right. Massive conspiracy of completely competent long-gamers.

Trust me. If the American military wants you dead, they will kill you. Red Dawn was a cool movie, though.

Golf is a clever troll. I like his shtick.

Custard is extremely naive if he thinks Putin is going to be content stopping at Ukraine. As I have said all along, the guy is a Soviet. The signs have been there for 30 years that he wants the restoration of the Soviet Union except with a religious bent. He successfully assisted Trump, who is a symptom not a cause and who tapped into a seething underside of American culture so that we are at each other's throats, and knows we won't do jack shit to stop him. We are now neutered pussies who, for example, glorify Olympians who don't participate due to mental health issues (instead of persevering over them), AOC-type jackasses, and mentally ill losers who dress as bears and storm the Capital. We may as well just turn the keys over to China.

While you quoted a piece of shit human who once posted that he loved Putin and had "Praise Putin" in his sig (to "own The PAMan"), he is not wrong as the Ukrainians appear poised to fight a guerilla war and extract their pound of flesh like the Chechens did.
And, while Golf is a troll, it is the idiots in this country like JudgeJudy who are easily manipulated to actually believe the shit they do to "own the [pick who you want]" that have made this world a far more dangerous place. Well done, JudgeJudy you stupid fuck.
-
And Mn, the fact Biden isn't banging the drums to bring troops in probably dispels that there is a ton of shit on Hunter Biden just sitting in the Ukraine waiting to be disclosed. Zalensky would have played that card to get Biden to do something more already if there were.

I see ThePAMan is back to making shit up again.

Saw this the other day and thought it was pretty well done…
“Listen up. The Ukraine & Russia crisis in simple terms for those that have no idea what is going on.
-Ukraine used to be in an abusive relationship with Russia, feeding him, letting him use her car & giving him whatever he asked for until she built up the confidence to call it quits back in 1991.
-Since then Ukraine has been working on herself, becoming a strong independent woman with help from friends like France, America, Poland etc. offering her support, loaning her money, & helping her find her way.
-Ukraine has been enjoying being single for 30 years & looking forward to continuing to grow & create new friendships.
-Now Russia being the toxic Ex that it is wants her back, and doesn’t want her meeting new people or creating any new relationships.
-A couple of weeks ago Russia started sitting in the front of Ukraine’s house & when her friends ask him what was he doing there, he said “Oh nothing, just getting a little bit of exercise in, that’s all.”
-After her friends told her that Russia was potentially getting ready to do something bad to her, he said “They’re lying, they just want you to be scared of me & that’s not what it is.”
-Yesterday Russia broke into Ukraine’s house, beating her up & “taking advantage” of her while on Livestream & double dog daring any of her friends to do something about it & if they do want the smoke, Russia got that thang on him.”
-
Putin and his inner circle are aging out of touch boomers. Putin will be 70 this fall. Lavrov will be 73 next month. Nikolai Patrushev will be 72 this summer. Sergei Naryshkin turns 68 this fall. Sergey Shoygu turns 67 in May.
They might be Russian imperialists or Slavic ethno-nationalists, but they do not appear to be communists or economic socialists. They are more like the America first alt-right except more morally conservative?
Putin's own view of the world and his place in it seems to be delusional.

There's lots of private arms owned in the DRC, too.
Let us know how that works without a stable liberal democratic political structure and economy, or if Ukraine's had either in the last few decades.

I think Putin wants to recreate the only world he understands, the Cold War period of his earlier formative years.
I also think he’s terrified because he knows dictators never retire. Dictators have to stay on top or else they will lose everything…most also likely their life.
Putin has created an alternative reality and he needs the majority of Russians to accept it.

So the Ukrainian *Government* took guns that were controlled by the *Government*, and gave those guns to their citizens, and now those citizens, despite not having a large personal cache of guns that they have already been trained to use, are out their doing a pretty fine job against the Russians.
Remind me again why the citizens need to have a bunch of guns?

Cheney Says Greene One of Kremlin's 'Useful Idiots' After Ukraine Remarks
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) slammed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for her “useful idiot” views on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Said Cheney: “Putin is targeting and slaughtering civilians in a brutal unprovoked war against Ukraine, a sovereign democratic nation. Only the Kremlin and their useful idiots would call that ‘a conflict in which peace agreements have been violated by both sides.’”
