Maybe the shoe should be on the other foot. Then the assholes in Washington would stop their belligerent actions.

The problem is the American public, they’re stupid and they don’t care about anything that doesn’t immediately affect them. Then again, the real question is ‘What am I doing?’ and if the answer is ‘Nothing’…then the true problem is looking me back in the mirror.

That’s the same problem with any public. No, the real problem is Godless rulers.

We’ll just vote ’em out!

Or at least we would if we still had real elections. Sad fact: Not only are we no longer a real Republic, we are now not even a real Democracy. Quite simply, your voice, your opinion, your VOTE, no longer matter. Nothing you can do within the system is enough to change the system.

We are very quickly approaching the point where we only have two options: submit, or rebel.

A friend of mine in the counselling business said: You will never know a person unless you walk a mile in their shoes. That way you are far enough away from them….and you’ve got their shoes!🙂

The current administration is insane. They are now talking about proposing a freeze of the war. Why would Russia agree to freezing a war they are obviously winning. Not only is Russia defeating Ukraine, it is defeating NATO, Europe, and the US. If I were in Putin’s shoes, I would not stop until I was at the Polish border and then I would put the most heavily armed bases I could on that border.

Hard to imagine that the Russians would agree. Way too much poisonous water under the bridge.

Time is Running Out

This is probably why the Russians never launched a winter offensive. Because there is no need for Russia to launch an offensive in order to win the war in Ukraine. All they need to do is hold their positions, methodically destroy everything that is thrown at them, and reportedly, within five months, the flow of military material to the Ukraine regime will stop and its NATO-funded military will collapse.

Ukraine has five months to demonstrate some “advances” to the US and other Western backers, to convince them of its plans for the conflict with Russia, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing several European and American officials.

Washington is entering an election cycle and has to show that the massive military support the US and its allies have been providing to Ukraine has not been in vain, the paper also said.

“It is important for America to sell this war as a successful one, as well as for domestic purposes to prove that all of those aid packages have been successful in terms of Ukrainian advances,” a European official told the FT.

Patience is one thing the Russian military has always had, dating back to the days when Kutuzov let Napoleon take Moscow, knowing that the French Emperor couldn’t possibly hold it. It doesn’t matter if NATO sets a deadline five months from now or elects to completely exhaust themselves before giving up, the Russians are perfectly capable of waiting as long as it takes for their enemies to give up.

Probably, but again, lacking a hard consistent ground freezing may have required them to alter their plans.

Seems like there is a dearth of empathy from the Amerikan people toward their fellow people.

The 2nd map of the US surrounded by bases in Canada & Mexico may not be too far off the mark in a few years, maybe sooner, given the Chinese influence in both Canada & Mexico now, and that Russia & China are on fairly good terms.

Interesting map.
Shows no missile platforms in the oceans.
Oops.
Can happen to the best of us!

Pretty sure “enemy subs” can sidle right on up next to most any coastline.
