First Ukraine destroyed a warship and missile sub in drydock/ yesterday knocked out 670M US S-400 Missile Defence complex. Meanwhile back in Moscow rabid propagandist advocating bombing Nazi scum in London/ Berlin/ Paris/ Washington/ well Russian warplanes did fire missile at a UK plane in Black Sea/ however they missed! Seems the Russians are good at "messups".
It may be of benefit to all of us, to agree to recognize this debacle for what it is...a Proxy War. The only real difference between this excursion and Sparta during the Peloponnesian War and the Sicilian Disaster, is that Sparta sent one representative. The U.S. is simply using arms transfer and no boots on the ground, while the Soviets are expending body after body and body, while draining their coffers to an unrecoverable level. This is in some respects, a "war" that is being conducted for the only purpose it can serve in the modern world and that is to engage in a method of response to avoid a nuclear war disaster. As to the Soviet-DPRK emerging relationship, if anyone thinks this is a significant game changing event in aiding the Soviets, it isn't. DPRK-specifically the KIM REGIME, has NEVER forgotten the meat grinder they were thrown into when the Soviets sacrificed the DPRK Proxy War in Korea and then pulled any and all aid and then forced Red China to serve their interests under threat of removal of Mao and Zhou. The Kim REGIME despises the Soviets and know the game, and plan complete revenge against the Soviets and more importantly, know that changing the name from USSR to Russia does not change the Soviet mindset at all, and DPRK won't fall for that again. Does anyone not understand that the Vietnam War was managed as a Proxy War by the Soviets (who AGAIN) and used Red China as a willing messenger? Vietnam sure understands, and can not run fast enough to escape their clutches and the the planned Red China incursion of Taiwan. Vietnam will never again be caught in the middle, and will beg borrow and steal to be able to be part of the U.S. economic sanction wall. And that is all I have to say about that. This has been another Charley Talk. YW.
NEWS FLASH. We are going to be in a shooting World War very soon. The Ukraine affair is being fueled by the administration to deplete our military weapons and enrich people over seas. The president of Ukraine has been exposed as being corrupt and involved with several global companies. The democrats need to force a shooting war on the world to stay in power. We will not come out of of this smelling like a rose. A new world with new currency is coming.
The quote “Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it” is attributed to the American philosopher George Santayana. I suppose the same could apply to those who revise history. https://faculty.washington.edu/asee...rs, in the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
Would the position then, based on a self-serving intellectually dishonest 1999 "Thesis", be categorical dismissal of the existence of Soviet Ideology and intent, based on a modern political re- identification of the territory as Russia? If so, is there some basic change in Soviet Ideology and 106 year quest of Communist Hegemony that proves the collapse of the Soviet mindset to covet, that confirms the present choices made by our present Leaders of this Federal Republic? Maybe that could explain the political approach of our present POTUS? I wonder why I have the need to type Hmmmmm.....Maybe it is because google hunting for gotcha commentary is a bit too much high school antics in approach.
Don't wait for that Blarney to materialize in favor of the Soviets. You will have wasted a hell of a lot of brain cells doing so, that could be spent on other fun stuff.
Of course, but more importantly, this is the Kim Regime starting the vengeance trail for what was done by the Soviets to Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
If the Russians do something stupid like attack a NATO Country/ NATO would obliterate the Russian obsolete war machine/ poorly trained armed forces in 24 hrs. Putin and his henchmen know this/ and will not provoke NATO. In the end they will thru attrition loose the War/ maybe the collapse of the Federation .
The numbers that the western press are all fraudulent and fabricated to sell the war as a successes of draining Russian military to prevent them from conquering Europe.(Which is a lie/false narrative) Think for a moment. Russian forces are for the most part engaged the Ukraines and mercenary forces for the past year with artillery barrages and shooting missiles from helicopters and aircraft from 10-20 miles away from the front lines. The losses on the Ukraine side are horrific. Think of the charge of the light brigade poem from the Crimea War. “Cannon to the right of them, cannon to the left of them, cannon in front of them, yet still they charged on….into the valley of Death” The Ukrainians are being sent on hundreds of foolish charges done for the benefit of false headlines meant to mislead.
And doesn’t anyone here see how this war hurts the west and only benefits China? The conflicts in that region were both started by Obama and Biden’s actions that led to 2014 and most recent.
Just in.... Russian losses KIA 372,000+ 624,000+ severely wounded/ maimed. Ukrainian losses at one fifth Russian losses. Just near Bakmut the Ukrainian elite "Werewolf Battalion" killed 12oo Russians in Kritsnecka including commanders The Ukrainians are kicking Putin's butt. Now/ the NATO/ USA are not blameless. In 2014 when Putin invaded Crimea/ President Obama did nothing/ ditto when Russians sent arms/ soldiers to Donbas rebels. Also on Feb. 24th. Biden asked Zelensky if he wanted safe passage to US/ the latter angrily replied/ "I do not want a ride/ send me weapons so we can fight the Russian terrorists" Biden then kept dithering/ had he sent the Ukrainians Abrams Tanks/ long range Himars/ Atacs Missiles in Feb. War would be over now. Germany/ UK also share the blame. Today, a Western jornalists asked a Ukrainian General if he was worried about escalating the War/ his reply, I am not one bit afraid of Russia. Good answer! Its darn well about time that the West gets some courage and decides to finish the job.
With all that dithering Ukraine still managed to stop the Russian invaders. Reason? Zelenskyy is their "Friedrich der Grosse" Like the famous Prussian King, he is a brilliant commander in chief/ unlike Putin who ran and hid when the Wagnerites were pushing towards Moscow. Putin is cold blooded killer and a chicken. Zelenskyy hopefully will be awarded Nobel Peace Prize.
A new front on the Ukraine-Russia propaganda war. No doubt Israel will face western weapons in their war with Hamas. https://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-war-latest-russia-provides-214453225.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall An exercise in CYA or the whole truth or something in between?
Looks like a bad winter for Ukraine. https://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-official-says-cant-properly-154209789.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall
If anyone thinks the money we are sending to the Ukraine is going to fight Russia - you are ignorant enough to be a Dumb 'O Rat Voter, snowflake, or brainwashed Marxist college student!
