but will it? Really? It will create a run on humanitarian stockpiles (mostly US Provided) that sit in warehouses around the globe. Great time to invest in trucking companies in these places. That is where we always get fucked trying to deliver food. We have the food, we don't have trucks/drivers/security. 

And the second consideration is most of these countries have no fear beating the shit out of their population to maintain control. In the past Russia just bribes the governments with cheap oil and fuel. Think there is a reason Eritrea keeps voting no in the UN on Putin's side? 

Thats what I keep trying to tell people.  We have food that rots away in silos and warehouses.  We don't have the transportation

Embarrassing enough, my tractor is a Kubota, and my skid steer is a New Holland. My saving grace is my John Deere lawnmower. If a motorcycle can boost a 120mm mortar, I could too. Just give me a 45 minute headstart to get out of sight.

Yeah one of my really good friends who I fish with and shoot the shit with all the time said Putin is a god fearing Christian and is doing God's work.  I sat there and asked him if he believes it was the truth and he said Judgement day is coming and God will prove Vladimir right.  

WTF?

Yeah, it is a major issue. the corruption in trucking also fucks up the system. For instance, there is a bar in Dubai where every night the next days food shipments are negotiated. So much of it disappears and if you are not part of the mafia you are screwed. I never worked on the supply side, always on the distribution. Honestly it is easier, but when you are told you are getting 15 trucks and you plan on that, to receive 15 trucks half full you get a bit pissed off. Been more than 1 time after a few drinks I wanted to kick someones ass in Kabul or Dubai that worked for USAID or the UN after hearing their promises and watching them drink expensive scotch. But I have a lot of respect for the people who drive the trucks. They get hit all the time and usually get paid shit. It is not always a $200K a year contract with KBR. Most are locals who get pennies, so they sell the goods or get ransacked by bad guys. 

on that note, some of us are talking about these humanitarian corridors and they happen how do we build our organization. I am supposed to run a project in Africa and the Caribbean starting this summer, but the way this is going, I am ready to head to Poland tomorrow. The medical group I support in the Ukraine is running into supply issues. They told me today if that Western column can get 20 kilometers south then they have no way of moving wounded, sick or get supplies in.

You should probably understand that a common definition of genocide is below:

"the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group"

We had hoped that Putin's goal was NOT this.  But Putin's actions appear to be this.

And honestly, we don't need you or anyone else thread-policing this open discourse, other than keeping things from becoming cloaked up, which is in all of our best interests.

Who is thread policing? I’m stating an opinion. 
 

Here’s a great article about it, which frankly supports your point of view to some degree:

https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/vladimir-putins-ukraine-war-is-a-blueprint-for-genocide/
 

My problem with using the term genocide for what has happened already is the fear it waters down what might come to pass. Flattening cities and killing civilians is not the same as genocide, any more than it’s been in any major war - especially sieges, throughout history. Specifically targeting and massacring anyone in Ukraine who does not agree that Russia and Ukraine are one people absolutely is. That hasn’t happened, yet, but the threat is real.

We didn't try to build bigger bombs we started to build one big ass warhead that can strike several targets.  MiRVs are great because we know if I can get one missile into orbit then I can crash 8 different targets.  SALT and START kinda forced is into that mindset.  For example an SSBN has 24 missiles.  But it actually has 120 if you count how many targets it can hit.  Each missile can split.  That's the danger

Yeah I mentioned Minuteman because I thought they were treaty-limited to one warhead.  The wild one to me was Peacekeeper with up to 12, but they were decommissioned.  Wasn’t sure about Trident.
 

I would guess the other two slots on the Minuteman bus are currently filled with penetration aids?

My parents told me of a story after they escaped the Vietnam war and were in the refugee camp in the Philippines.  When it first started out they were getting a whole chicken and a bag of rice a day.  After a few weeks it became half a chicken and half a bag of rice and kept getting smaller.  I asked if it was because the donations kept getting smaller. She said no, it was because the people running the supply routes were getting paid to sell the supplies.  I asked why they didn't say anything.  She said who can we complain to.  They would probably just kill us.

I’m very late but just getting around to listing to Putin’s press conference/war talk. I’ve heard him speak hundreds of times - he isn’t right. Ambling, making no sense, confusing nouns and verbs. He very well might be simply exhausted/fatigued but he sounds nothing like his normal self. 

Something to watch I guess. No one around him will do anything if he’s going nuts so that’ll be fun theater.

Yeah, but did you also read the part where he likes to shoot and fish? The older you get the harder it is to stand people. Sometimes you just gotta remember that ‘friendship is forgiveness’ and the tell him he’s fucking wrong and what a dumbass is he for thinking that every time he brings it up.

I’ve seen several evangelists saying this. Pat Robertson specifically, but there are others. It’s like a playbook they’re reading off of. 
 

It’s used regularly. The history of Christianity is littered with religious leaders making contemporary references to Revelations, starting with the first generation, who thought Jesus was returning in their lifetime. Pat Robertson has personally invoked the coming Judgement Day literally 1000s of times in his lifetime, molding whatever topical event subscribes to his definition of impending signs. 
 

The inclusion of Putin is interesting. I posted this over a hundred pages back, but there’s a white thing going on here. Disenfranchised white males are using support of Putin as a litmus test for belonging in their tribe. Not that you have to be white, but you better be hitting all the litmus tests with vigor and the correct response to belong. It’s another lurch in the wrong direction as far as I’m concerned.

There is a whole generation of Chinese that can't swim because our parents were so traumatized by water.  Think mine were stranded in the ocean for 10 days in an overcrowded boat until the US Navy happened to pass by.  Kids starved to death.  There are some things they refuse to say to this day about what happened and how they survived.  I'm not even sure I want to ask.

Yep. Take a boat, load up with what you could and head out to sea going east and hopefully after a few days get picked up by a US boat. There are lots of stories of people doing that and almost no boat made it without some losses.

Yeah.  We talk about radical islam.  Radical Christians are happening.  I see it amongst my friends and my co workers.  When you are told some foreigner is going to steal your job they start believing it.  Or if their friends didn't get hired but a minority got hired and it trickles into their mindset.  It's scary as hell.  Eventually some bad shit will happen but one of my good friends works for Boeing and he's on their helicopter project.  When I first met him he was really apolitical.  Just some random nerd.  He is off the wall crazy now when it comes to white is right.  Hell even one of my good friends I went to nuke school with and was on the submarine with.  I was a groomsmen in his wedding.  We have a core group of 9 of us that go vacation every year with or were groomsmen best man in each other's wedding.  Our buddy got married last year and said man I cant invite him he hates Mexicans and I don't want my family to whip his ass.
