  1. I’ve come to the conclusion WW3 is a trigger word for people that grew up during the Cold War. We we’re well conditioned to believe WW3=nuclear holocaust. But what if I told you the Cold War was actually WW3? Think about it. We had several “proxy” wars all over the globe in an ideological/influence struggle between the superpowers. Presidents/leaders were assassinated, governments were toppled, dictators and democracies were installed (and subverted). This Ukraine conflict is almost a continuation of the same struggle except this time communism isn’t part of the narrative. It’s more of a global fascist/authoritarian movement entering an overt violence phase to destroy a democratic government. There’s also this weird implicit assumption the United States gets to decide when “WW3” begins. Never mind that Putin and his band of assholes have been fighting this war for years rather openly. My point here is whatever most people think WW3 is “supposed” to look like probably isn’t going to happen, which is a good thing.
  2. Perhaps in the historical sense. As far as anything of consequences arising from it, nyet.
  3. Most of the bad laws made in this country are made for purely political reasons and not to better society or to solve an actual problem. This is one of those laws. There isn’t a gay agenda in the classroom of kindergarteners.
  4. Hawley is like Cruz but more dangerous
  5. If you want to discuss media malpractice, perhaps we should revisit 2016.
  6. Over 90 million people are in lockdown in China due to outbreak of the new variant. This is going to cause serious supply chain issues. Why are we in the US easing masking policy at this time? Our vaccination/booster numbers are still not ideal either, not like Europe. The CDC is a joke. Seems as if we are asking for it.
  7. Wish we would have started with full embargo…in 2017…or 14
  8. He’s not suicidal and no one is invading Russia. The hysteria over the nukes is weird. This board must be all gen x and boomers. We went 50 years in a Mexican standoff that involved numerous proxy wars, assassinations, and toppling of governments. No nukes were used because duh, everyone dies.

  10. So this thread is an interesting read on how Finland defends itself.
  11. Hey, did y’all know Putin is a christo-fascist supremacist trying to create his own Reich in Russia? Kinda sounds like some other guy from history.
  12. According to Bill Browder, this was once Russia’s wealthiest oligarch. Putin had him arrested, seized all his money, imprisoned him for 10 years, and then banished him from Russia. Fascinating interview.
  13. Nazi Party argues rumored D-Day invasion will only escalate the situation and destabilize all of Europe.
  14. Putin seems well The last couple of lines are not great
