Vladimir Putin, in an unhinged and wildly threatening speech, informed his nation that he was calling up 300,000 “reservists” for, presumably, service in Ukraine.
There is a lot more to this mobilization to which he did not speak. Continue reading
In late September 2018 — four years before the Russian invasion of Ukraine — the American President gave a speech, a prescient and foretelling speech, at the United Nations in which he cautioned the German nation not to become dependent upon Russia for its energy needs.
President Donald J Trump in a reflective moment before giving his best foreign policy speech at the United Nations at the high point of his tenure.
In that speech the American President said:
Reliance on a single foreign supplier can leave a nation vulnerable to extortion and intimidation. That is why we congratulate European states, such as Poland, for leading the construction of a Baltic pipeline so that nations are not dependent on Russia to meet their energy needs. Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course.
He was referring to the completion of NordStream II and the continuing operation of NordStream I.
The Russians and the Puffer Coat Putin’s plan for Act I in the despoilment and depredation of Ukraine did not go according to plan.
1. The Russian army, a thuggish collection of murderers, rapists, and criminals with vast amounts of weaponry and armor with piss poor leadership and comms failed to drive down from Belarus, shout BOO! at Kyiv, and take the capital and kill the President Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy in the planned 4 days. Stupid Russians. Continue reading
In the midst of the bloody slaughter that is Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, the multitude of war crimes, Ukrainians with hands wired behind their backs and a bullet in their head, tongues cut out, bodies left to decompose in the streets behind retreating Russian forces, wholesale rape of girls and women, and the imposition of crushing economic sanctions by the west — it isn’t enough — Russia continues the charade that it is a part of a modern, global, civilized, financial world.
The Russians are desperately trying to preserve their sovereign nation bonds and to prevent them from going into default. Continue reading
Do you know anything about the International Monetary Fund? Haha. No, you don’t. Stop pretending. Let me help you.
The BIG STORY:
Dear Russia – not Vladimir Putin, but the Russian people,
Normally, I would begin by hoping things are going well for you in Russia, but we both know they are not.
In the current events we are constantly bombarded by the bad acts of Putin and Russia who is being opposed by the WEST?
Who exactly is the WEST?
The other day a pal of mine was cataloging all the countries that make up the WEST. I told him the WEST is not a list of countries.
Ahhh, my dear reader (I said in a particularly obnoxious, condescending voice fueled by cheap Keurig coffee), allow me to explain.
1. It is an idea, not a specific list of countries. It is not a place one can identify or find using an atlas or on a map. Continue reading
We are now in the third week of the Russo – Ukrainian War and the west has retaliated against the invading Russians with economic sanctions that are slowly, but surely, disconnecting the nation of Russia from the rest of the civilized world.
Russian tank fire hitting threatening apartment building in Mariupol. Who shoots at apartment buildings? War criminals.
Countries that make war on apartment buildings, kill babies, kill children, kill women and old folks are not civilized. This is medieval, Dark Ages siege behavior and we are cowards for tolerating it.
