    People who bandy about words like “peaceful” and “defensive, in the context of the U.S., should not be allowed to appeal to ignorance. And I have a better neighborhood analogy …

    Your HOA, for no good reason, wants you evicted and your house sold. Household by household your neighborhood turns against you to the extent it has incited your next-door neighbor has been recruited to harass and threaten you.

    All your appeals to the HOA have gone unheeded. And your neighbor is amassing weapons you fear may be used against you.

    Finally, your patience has worn thin and you resolve to stand against your HOA by physically confronting your next-door neighbor.

    As you’re getting the better of your neighbor, your HOA howls in indignation and funnels more weapons to your next-door neighbor.

    By and by, adjacent neighborhoods catch wind of what’s happening, sympathize with you and stand with you against your HOA.

    Will the HOA come to regard its actions against you as a fool’s errand ? Stay tuned …

    We can trust Biden will step in and force Z to make a deal before the whole south of Ukraine goes up in flames. Biden showed how prescient he is with Afghanistan and Israel. What could possibly go wrong?

    It's getting worse for the Ukrainian militsry as Russian nissile strikes grow in intensity.. Ukrainian war deaths this year are said to be roughly 3 times greater per day than they were in the opening months of 2023. The situation is summarized by the Durant:

    And I’ll be one of them. I guess not supporting the invasion of a country, killing, raping, abducting their women and children, bombing their homes, stealing their personal property, making slaves of them, etc., makes some people sad.

    Shame on me and those like myself.

    Yay Amerika

    Zelensky actually fired his official who propagated the Russian rape narrative. Evidently, there are some lies that are too over-the-top even for the Kyiv regime.

    6 of the venerable Abrams tanks destroyed in two weeks. Orcs are cheating because their tanks can fire missiles and the Abrams can’t.

    Today marks the last official day of Zelensky’s term as president.

    If he’s still president tomorrow does that mean there was an insurrection ?

    There are tons of oppressed people all over the world we don't send tens of billions of dollars in weapons to. (including cluster bombs, which tend to kill way more civilians than soldiers) The cheerleading I was referring to is the cheering of using U.S. taxpayer money to fund such activity.

    Swiss geopolitical analyst Jacques Baud explains how Ukraine provoked the Russians to invade by massively shelling the Donbas. Baud's remarks match up perfectly with my every post on this thread. Listen from 1:04:00 to 1:09:00 to hear how the war started.

    One new bit of info I heard from Baud was that on February 25, 2024, one day after the war started, Zelensky asked the Swiss to arrange a peace conference. The EU said no. They wanted war. Do the EU countries do that without consulting the US? Highly doubtful imo.

    Baud made another point that I should have made. Why did Joe Biden predict that Russia would invade on February 16? Because he'd been briefed that February 16 was the day Ukraine would start their shelling of the Donbas.

    Long video but it should be listened to in full.

    And some will end up looking like the selfish, amoral surrender monkeys they are. They stand for nothing (what's freedom?), so nothing will disappoint them. They don't understand the concept of friends and allies (because they are so selfish they can't think of anyone but themselves), so they abandon people that were depending on them, only to be surprised (shocked!) later when there is no one there to support them. They live in a shrinking world of slowly increasing misery and danger, using self-righteous arrogance to explain their greed and inhumanity towards their fellow man, oblivious to the fact that it was their callousness that helped create the problem.

    From those that are given great gifts, great contributions are expected. It's called responsibility. Something grownups accept. Something some people apparently don't understand.
