Attachment 6800
Hey Buddy. GTFO with your facts 'n shit.
The wheat graph is interesting because when this thing started last year, I was pretty sure we were going to see arab spring 2 due to the fact that (IIRC) places like egypt, algeria, turkey, morocco, pakistan and others rely heavily on Ukranian grain exports and a russian invasion sorta puts a damper on things like, oh, shipping. (or things like doing ANYTHING AT ALL BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO BUSY FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIVES).
Historically, a lack of food is a pretty good way to get riots going in a country, but I guess the Black Sea Initiative did a pretty damned good job of getting the United Nations, Turkey, and Russia to cooperate and allow ukranian exports through the russian blockades in the black sea area.
I'm glad that didn't turn out like I was afraid it would.
Not as if Russia doesn't have a history of trying to starve Ukrainians...

#RussiaisaterroriststateQuote:
CHERNIHIV, Ukraine, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Seven people including a 6-year-old child were killed and at least 90 wounded when a Russian missile struck a central square in the historic northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv, the interior ministry said on Saturday.
People had been on their way to church to celebrate a religious holiday when the strike took place, the ministry said, adding 12 of the wounded were children and 10 were police officers.

On one hand I think that Putin cashed him out.
on the other I wonder if he is smarter than the average bear and was merely put on the manifest and then never boarded the plane.
I heard on the radio that he was on the phone when the plane hit, but I believe that came from the Russian News Service so I guess that isn't worth the electricity used to send the message. In the past, though, typically when the Russians get their guy they don't lie about the person being dead to the public. They just lie about what and who caused it.
On the other hand, faking his death is probably the only chance Prigohzin had at having any long term health.
Newly declassified US intel claims Russia is laundering propaganda through unwitting Westerners
But I'm sure no one on this board has been taken in by that sort of thing, right?
I post on another board that I'm positive is visited by Russian propagandists. I'm not sure if it is actually people from Russia or if it is Americans they have unwittlingly (or wittingly) gotten to propagate their bullshit but it becomes really obvious. As the build up to invading Ukraine increased I actually asked him what would happen once the invasion happened. As it so happens, the day of the invasion that particular handle went silent and hasn't been heard from since. There have since been several others (they usually don't last very long on one account) and I'm pretty sure the Trump campaign is employing the same tactic to spread their complete bullshit. I'm guessing they are paid positions given how often they are posting. This is an Iowa board that gets quite a bit of traffic so given the Primaries, it is not unusual that it would be targeted for this stuff. Especially since Iowa is trying its best to become North Florida.

Musk turned off Starlink near Crimea to disrupt Ukrainian strike against Russia /
What an appeasing piece of garbage.Quote:
Elon Musk secretly instructed his engineers to turn off Starlink satellite communications near Crimea last year to prevent a Ukrainian submarine drone attack against Russian military ships, CNN reported on Sept. 7, citing an excerpt from an upcoming book by Walter Isaacson.
Isn't it comforting to know that crazy individuals with no accountability can now make decisions that could be perceived as an act of war?
The endgame of capitalism. At one point, a single entity will own the greater majority of a platform and since it is private owned, they can use it to set their narrative. Be it Musk with Twitter, Starlink. Be it YouTube or Facebook or all TV news owned by a single point. They owners now can force the narrative and since it is privately owned, there is no law to stop them.
And if law tries to stop them they have the power to convince a large group of people that the government is attacking free speech.
Zelensky called for UN to strip Russia of its veto power. But could that happen?
Quote:
In an extraordinary meeting in the UN Security Council, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday called for Russia's veto power to be stripped -- an argument he has made previously, since Russia's invasion of his country in 2022.
Russia is one of five permanent members of the powerful Security Council, the so-called P5, that also includes the UK, France, the United States, and China. Ten other non-permanent members fill out the body on rotation. But only permanent members wield the power to veto resolutions.
In recent years, the Russian Federation and China have cast the overwhelming majority of vetoes, frequently doubling up on the same resolutions. Over the past 10 years, Russia has vetoed two dozen resolutions, China has vetoed nine, and the US has vetoed three.
Among these: In September 2022, Russia vetoed a draft resolution that would have condemned its seizure of Ukrainian territories and called on it to withdraw from Ukraine.
Russia's war in Ukraine and deepening geopolitical rivalries between the P5 have highlighted paralysis in the council, while major emerging powers like India and Brazil remain stuck on the sidelines.
In a speech opening the General Debate on Tuesday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres himself called for reform, pointing out that the Security Council was created in the 1940s, in a vastly different geopolitical context than today -- back when the seat currently held by Russia belonged to the USSR. The only alternative to reform, he warned, would be “rupture.”
But the odds of change seem slim for now. Any attempt to reform the Security Council would require the assent of the existing P5 members.

House Speaker apologizes after MPs honour man who fought with Nazi unit
Attachment 6810
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recognize Yaroslav Hunka, who was in attendance and fought with the First Ukrainian Division in Second World War before later immigrating to Canada, in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Friday, Sept. 22.
The Speaker of the House apologized Sunday for prompting standing ovations in the House of Commons for a man who served in a Nazi SS unit in Ukraine during the Second World War and was invited as a “Canadian hero” to hear Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s speech to parliamentarians.
Following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s speech to Parliament on Friday, House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota drew attention to a 98-year-old man from North Bay, Ont., named Yaraslov Hunka, who was seated in the chamber as an invited guest, and lauded him for “fighting for Ukraine independence against the Russians” during the Second World War.
“He is a Ukrainian hero and a Canadian hero, and we thank him for all his service,” Mr. Rota said. His comment prompted cheers and two standing ovations from the House of Commons, which included Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mr. Zelensky.
But Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies said in a statement on the weekend that the man served in the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, a Nazi military unit with documented evidence of “crimes against humanity” crimes during the Holocaust. “The fact that a veteran who served in a Nazi military unit was invited to and given a standing ovation in Parliament is shocking,” the group said, calling on the government to publicly apologize.
In a statement on Sunday, Mr. Rota said had “become aware of more information” that made him regret the decision to invite Mr. Hunka, who is from his riding, saying the “initiative was entirely my own.”
“I particularly want to extend my deepest apologies to Jewish communities in Canada and around the world. I accept full responsibility for my actions.”
A spokesperson from the Prime Minister’s Office said that “no advance notice was provided to the Prime Minister’s Office, nor the Ukrainian delegation, about the invitation or recognition.” The Speaker and the PMO operate independently, the spokesperson said, adding that Mr. Rota chose his own guests, and taking “full responsibility” was the “right thing to do.”
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, however, said Sunday that the prime minister also needed to “personally apologize” for what he called “an appalling error in judgement.” Mr. Poilievre pointed out that parliamentarians had no opportunity to vet the man’s past – a task for an important state visit that he said should have been handled by the Prime Minister’s Office. “Without warning or context, it was impossible for any parliamentarian in the room - other than Mr. Trudeau - to know of this dark past.”
The scene in Parliament will have potentially serious ramifications beyond Canada, said Ivan Katchanovski, a University of Ottawa political scientist who has published on the SS unit and is writing a book about the Ukraine war. He called the standing ovation “beyond comprehension.”
He pointed out that Russia has falsely used the “de-Nazification” of Ukraine as propaganda to gain support for its invasion of the country last year “This will be used by Russia in the war against Ukraine,” he said, suggesting that both Canadian politicians and Mr. Zelensky will need to quickly distance themselves from the scene in Parliament.
Dr. Katchanovski says that the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS was renamed the First Ukrainian Division at the end of the war - a move to distance the unit from Nazi ties, and depict its members as fighting to protect Ukraine from a Russia invasion. But he said the volunteer unit was originally formed in 1943, after Germany lost the Battle of Stalingrad, under the Waffen SS, the combat branch of the Nazi Party’s paramilitary. Mr. Katchanovski says the unit has been linked to massacres of civilians carried out in villages in Poland. It has been a source of ongoing controversy in Ukraine, he says, with Mr. Zelenksy, who is Jewish, publicly condemning a march celebrating the unit that was held in Kyiv a few months before Russia’s invasion.
In a blog post, written in Ukrainian, on a website dedicated to the First Ukrainian Division, a writer named Yaroslav Hunka, from Canada, describes volunteering for the unit in 1943, when he was 18, fearing a Russian invasion with the German army planning a retreat from western Ukraine. In two weeks, the blog says, 80,000 volunteers joined the division, many students from his hometown. “We felt our duty to our native land - and left,” the author writes. The unit surrendered to the British Army at the end of the war.
“I do not want the reader to understand that my entire generation was ideologically motivated and spiritually conscious,” the author writes. “In a bag of healthy apples, there are also rotten ones. It will depend on the relationship between those two qualities of apples in the course of a given generation.”
Note also that 156 Canadians were massacred by SS units just after D-Day and after that Canadians had a burning hatred for the bastards
All it took was for these truly satanic scum to wait until the older generations had passed away...so they could slink out of the shadows once again.
This was NOT an accident, go look into the history of Trudeau's #2 and many other in power across this so called "Western elite"

I know our resident Putin propagandist won't be able to wrap his warped mind around it, even though it would be a useful perspective for him, so I share this for anyone else interested.
I came upon this opinion piece about a week ago, and have had it simmering in the back of my mind since. As the title goes, it's about where the world is heading after the decline of America as the sole superpower, and how some, like Silverblade, should be very careful what they wish for. The graph on the death rates in state-based conflicts was quite interesting, and I thought the whole bit was a worth while read.
You're not going to like what comes after Pax Americana
https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/youre-...ike-what-comes
Another more Euro-centric shorter article from the Guardian accompany it well, I think. At least I saw a link between the two, when I read the article.
https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...racies-defence
Canada is in a tough spot with this. We've built our entire society around the idea that we will never really be in a serious military conflict without someone else coming to our aid and carrying the load. We're starting to see allies look at us the same way Big Brother alliances look at alliance members that cannot win competitions: useful when things are going well, but expendable when they are not.
Noah Smith’s opinion piece here takes a page from many other historians and political scientists. We're in a peaceful period because we have safe global trade and that is starting to erode due to America's decline in influence, declining/aging population, etc.
Peter Zeihan’s "The End of the World Is Just the Beginning" expands on this in detail. While the book is rather pessimistic, it does highlight the period of peace and how post-World War 2 America enabled slow, but large global trade through security. Without that security, global trade as we know it does not exist. Without global trade as we know it, we do not have the technology and comforts we have today.
The picture on that article sent me down a rabbit hole about the M777 howitzer. I wonder why, in the 21st century, it still uses a hand crank to change the angle of the barrel. I suppose there's something to be said for mechanical devices from a reliability standpoint, but there are already variants with digital fire control systems, so I wonder why the U.S. military hasn't adapted all of its 155mm guns to use it.
Deaf windowlickers. (Friend's eventual husband was Canadian artillery, and my only real memory of him is his loud "WHAT" when he missed something in conversation.)
That tracks - then again my hearing is shit too and I was a poor, dumb grunt.
So, I have a dumb question. Maybe there's a simple answer I'm missing? Maybe there isn't one.
Republicans in general are all about getting financial aid to Israel. (Yeah, the House is trying to tie it to defunding the IRS lol, but set that aside for a sec.) They don't seem real concerned about helping Ukraine, because I don't know, Trump likes Putin? But they are all onboard for getting money to Israel. But isn't it also Republicans that look the other way from anti-Semitic slurs and hate crimes? Wasn't it Republicans marching with tiki torches at Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us?" It's like they hate Jews but love Israel? It's so confusing. Is it different factions in the Republican party or? Best I can come up with is they hate Muslims more than they hate Jews but I really don't understand it. Seems like they hate everyone except authoritarians.
Two groups in the Republican party drive the observed behaviours: the xenophobe/Nazi-types that hate all "others", and the evangelicals that believe that Jews being present in Israel is important for the Rapture to happen:Quote:

The way the two sides achieve détente is by agreeing "support them there, discourage them here". It would work for both factions if all Jews moved to Israel.
The Russia love is wearing thin in the Senate. McConnell has linked aid to Israel and Ukraine, considering them to be part of the same package. That assclown senator who has been holding up all top military promotions because of abortion policy is also starting to get significant heat from his fellow Republican senators. It feels like the Senate is somewhat distancing itself from Trump while the House is still all-in. I guess that has something to do with how districts are drawn, and how senators need broader support than congresspeople do, but I don't know enough about the nitty-gritty of American politics to be certain.
The difference between running statewide vs. a much smaller district changes things, yes. But also keep in mind two other things:
* The sizes of the chambers themselves. With only 100 members, the Senate almost naturally encourages its members to get along with each other, while the 425-member House can more easily break up into cliques ("Freedom Caucus," "The Squad," etc.)
* Term lengths. Senators are only up every six years, so they tend to survive trends. House members are up every other year, so many of them are in non-stop campaign mode, which encourages stances that please the core-base voters who dominate party primaries.
this is the typical fucking horror and chaos "America" has left in it's insane wake in last 70 odd years

More civilians have died in Gaza in 3 weeks than 18 months in Ukraine, and that's by OFFICIAL figures.
500,000 Ukrainian military have been slaughtered and as it collapses the casualty rates will go exponential, see Germany in 1945, so you may well see a MILLION dead Ukrainian combatants
but by proportion the civilian deaths have been a fraction of that, or a tiny fraction of what BOMB FUCKING HAPPY AMERICA ROUTINELY DOES TO ITS VICTIMS!

Russian police are being inundated with denunciations by Russians of their fellow citizens over their alleged views on the Ukraine war, BBC News reported.
In the wake of Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Kremlin introduced draconian new rules to punish people criticizing the so-called "special military operation.'
Under the laws, Russians can be fined up to $560 or imprisoned for up to five years if found guilty of vaguely defined offenses that involve discrediting the military.
Police officials told the BBC that officers are fielding "endless charges on the discrediting of the army".
"People are always looking for an excuse to denounce someone over the 'special military operation,'" a recently retired police officer told the BBC, adding: "Whenever something real comes up, there's nobody to investigate. Everyone's gone to check on some grandma who saw a curtain that looked like the Ukrainian flag."
A serial informer, who goes by the name Anna Korobkova but did not disclose her real identity, told the BBC she had filed 1,397 denunciations since the invasion.
One man told the BBC he is being held in jail on terrorism charges after being falsely accused by a colleague after an argument.
The BBC claimed that Russians are being arrested on the basis of spurious accusations by people who hold grudges.
Human rights group OVD-Info told The Financial Times in February that around 20,000 people have been arrested in anti-war protests in Russia.
The report said that around 440 people face more serious charges over their alleged opposition to the war, and could face jail terms of up to 15 years. Some of those facing charges have fled the country.
My Russian friend's mother refuses to talk about the war on the phone. This is why.

Since I can never really tell what you're talking about once you get going, but you did quote me: my comment is in reference to your Gaza vs. Ukraine statistics. I feel that, while Hamas must be removed before any progress can be made towards peace in the region, the Israelis have been going well beyond what is required. What makes it particularly galling is that Netanyahu had, in the past, gone easy on Hamas because their presence divided the Palestinians and justified Israel's harsh treatment of the Palestinians. So when you started your post, I was thinking, "Oh, this is a fair comment, maybe he'll stick with Israel's... no, there's the pro-Russian propaganda and now there's a conspiracy theory and well shit."Quote:

Go check, this is fact.
The Zionist monsters seriously discussed the "Samson Option", exterminating a couple of million Palestinians with nuclear fire
GO DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AND EXAMINE THE FACTS, jeesh!!
And they cannot "remove" Hamas because it's a political movement which gets support from damn near 100 years of Palestinians being robbed of their land and murdered by the Zionist psychopaths
("Palestinians" aren't just Moslem, it includes Jews and Christians by the way)
The Israeli state bombed the third oldest Christian church in the world in Gaza as a deliberate act, FFS!
Just like with Al-Qeda, or the British with the IRA, you CANNOT "remove" such things unless you go pure full fucking Stalin, Heydrich or Genghis Khan
The Hamas bastards who murdered Israeli kids and committed other atrocities should get turned into "pink mist" for their crimes, but it's not going to stop the damn problem, since support comes from horrible injustice of the Zionists.
As we know, whacking terrorists just breeds more form all the casualties, no one does "collateral damage" like Amerika (tm)

Gaza should be run by the Palestinian Authority, as part of a single Palestine. There's support for this in Gaza. But the Israelis are lumping all Gazans together as being Hamas supporters, the same way you just did, and they therefore feel justified in wiping the Gazans out.
No, they certainly did not, since Hamas was a terrorist organization when it first came into existance. What the Israelis have done under Netanyahu is not push Hamas out, accepting the "reality on the ground" in Gaza and negotiating with Hamas as a legitimate government (in private, not publically).Quote:

Navalny, the most prominent foe of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is serving a 19-year sentence on charges of extremism. He had been imprisoned in the Vladimir region of central Russia, about 230 kilometers (140 miles) east of Moscow, but his lawyers said they had not been able to reach him since Dec. 6.
His spokesperson, Kira Yarmysh, said he was located in a prison colony in the town of Kharp, in the Yamalo-Nenets region about 1,900 kilometers (1,200 miles) northeast of Moscow.
Navalny is “fine — at least as much as possible after such a long stage" and a lawyer visited him, Yarmysh told The Associated Press.
The region is notorious for long and severe winters. The town is about 100 kilometers (60 miles) from Vorkuta, whose coal mines were among the harshest of the Soviet Gulag prison-camp system.
“It is almost impossible to get to this colony; it is almost impossible to even send letters there. This is the highest possible level of isolation from the world,” Navalny’s chief strategist, Leonid Volkov, said on X.
Transfers within Russia’s prison system are shrouded in secrecy and inmates can disappear from contact for several weeks. Navalny’s team was particularly alarmed when he could not be found because he had been ill and reportedly was being denied food and kept in an unventilated cell.
Yarmysh said the transfer was connected with the campaign for the Russian presidential election in March. While Putin’s reelection is all but certain, given his overwhelming control over the country’s political scene and a widening crackdown on dissent, Navalny’s supporters and other critics hope to use the campaign to erode public support for the Kremlin leader and his military action in Ukraine.
“They deliberately sent him to this particular colony precisely in order to isolate Alexei as much as possible, so as not to give him any opportunity to communicate with the outside world,” she said. “This is all happening precisely because Alexei, despite the fact that he is in prison, is still the main opponent of Vladimir Putin ... It is not surprising that they began to transfer him to another colony right now, so that he could not interfere with Putin’s campaign.”
Navalny has been behind bars in Russia since January 2021, when he returned to Moscow after recuperating in Germany from nerve agent poisoning that he blamed on the Kremlin. Before his arrest, he campaigned against official corruption and organized major anti-Kremlin protests.
He has since received three prison terms and spent months in isolation in Penal Colony No. 6 for alleged minor infractions. He has rejected all charges against him as politically motivated.

Ahh yes a 100 "mistakes", I wonder how long until Putin puts her out a window for appealing this.
Quote:
A former TV journalist who announced she would challenge President Putin in Russia's spring election has been barred from standing.
Independent politician Yekaterina Duntsova wanted to run on a platform to end the war with Ukraine.
But the electoral commission voted unanimously to reject her candidacy three days after her application, citing 100 "mistakes" on her form.
Ms Duntsova said she would appeal the decision at the Supreme Court.
The presidential election, which will be held in March 2024, is Russia's first since President Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly two years ago.
The immediate slap-down of a Putin critic will be seen as evidence by some that no dissent will be tolerated in the campaign.
The head of Russia's electoral commission, Ella Pamfilova, said Ms Duntsova would not be allowed to progress to the next stage of gathering thousands of supporters' signatures.
"You are a young woman, you have everything ahead of you. Any minus can always be turned into a plus. Any experience is still an experience," she told Ms Duntsova, 40, after the decision.
The former TV journalist had declared she would run for the presidency in November. At the time, she told the Reuters news agency: "Any sane person taking this step would be afraid - but fear must not win."
Russia's constitution was amended in 2020, increasing the presidential term from four to six years and giving Mr Putin a clean slate to run again by cancelling out his previous terms.
Moscow has sidelined opposition figures for years, and President Putin is expected to win in March; the Kremlin claims he enjoys genuine support among Russians.
Ms Duntsova had been vocal on her plans to run a campaign on ending the war in Ukraine and freeing political prisoners.
She was quick to respond after the commission's decision. "We will appeal to the Supreme Court, since this decision is not based on the law," a message on her Telegram channel said.
The commission said 29 people have so far filed to run for the presidency. But after today's decision, Mr Putin remains the only candidate to be able to register as a candidate.
In November, a nationalist pro-war blogger who had fiercely criticised Russia's military strategy in Ukraine, said he wanted to challenge Putin and disrupt the "sham" poll.
Igor Girkin, 52, was detained in July following a series of social media posts critical of the president. He is now in jail awaiting trial for extremism, which he denies.
Mr Putin recently showed a rare example of caving in to popular pressure - by cutting the cost of buying chicken and eggs. On a public phone-in, a caller berated the Russian president for the high price she was having to pay.
With just three months to go until the election, President Putin has now decided that eggs and chicken should be exempt from all import taxes.
To be fair (to be fair...), the Russian system has so many silly rules that this could potentially be true. My Russian friend had one of her internal passport documents rejected because she used the wrong colour of ink to fill it out. It took her almost a year to get everything done correctly and accepted, including having to queue to see the correct official when they visited Vancouver for a week (during which they were only available for a few hours each day). Then the war started, and because the rules required her to pick it up in person from the passport office in Moscow within one year, it was burned and she'd have to start all over again if she wanted it. Which she doesn't, because it only applies to travel within Russia, but her mom insists it's an important document and she doesn't want to fight her mother.

oh dear oh dear, the Ukrainian Nazis, er I mean, brave heroic FSB, grabbing folk off the street, giving the poor buggers a week training if they are lucky, so they can die gloriously for Zelensky's coke habit and the American military industrial Complex!
URA!
of course you'll all deny this, as usual, despite being told this forced recruiting had started more than a year ago
their own military said they needed a minimum of 20,000 new recruits per month and one of their politicians called for total mobilization
and if they don't get more money they cannot pay any wages or pensions because they have NO economy
Does that sound like "winning" hm?
The real casualty figures for Ukraine are over ONE MILLION DEAD AND MISSING, not injured, DEAD.
Came out when someone made a mistake on their TV and makes sense if you know what's really going on, plus their own panic and forced conscriptions
And here is the kicker:
with Ukraine LOSING, yes they fucking are and have since the start, some of the lunatics in Washington are now talking about sending tactical nukes to Ukraine
if you think that is a good idea, well...well I wonder if even "Instant Sunshine" across America would get some sense through your skulls :(
and oh yeah, how's American(and Western military recruitment and shell production doing, hm?
FFS wake up, please! The days are growing very very short for us all.
You fiddle while Rome is about to get 100 million degree sunburn.
PS
"Russia has run out of missiles and ammunition!" morons still say that, yet Russia just clobbered Ukraine with missiles and whines like bitches to the UN over 90 civilian deaths while Gaza has been carpet bombed flat with AMERICAN bombs
Won't it be fun with the Zionist psychopaths resort to the "Samson Option", hm?
but hey, go back to your daily dose of "Woke Programming", lemmings!
Feel good pretending to be Liberals, meanwhile Benjamin Franklin and Lincoln must be in tears seeing what's happened :(
America: "We will ban Russian nuclear fuel imports by 2028! Take that, Putin!"
Russians: "Is that so? Well our export ban to you pricks starts now, so suck it, bitches!"
:p
Sigh, we are all so, so fucked
Energy being the underpinning of civilization, of whatever form, all this crap is gonna hit each of us and our families and already has been particularly here in the UK
Cthulhu's spawn, Senator Lindsey Graham, hits an all time high of chicken hawk psychopathy

So, Red Sea and thus Suez Canal traffic is about as popular as offering a used condom at a gangbang
the Panama Canal is fucked because of climate change
and now this gelatinous slime beast wants to start war with Iran?!
JFY folks, there's evidence Algeria has got missiles and drones from Iran
do you want ot imagine what happens to world trade if the Western Mediterranean and Straits of Gibraltar are closed to civilian shipping, hm?
Go on, keep glad handing and cheering for yourselves like the fucking chuckleheaded inbred twats who dragged us all into World War One!
Yup, be all over before Christmas, be easy peasy!
oh FFS :(
Hope you feel happy with yourselves with the outcome of where all this is going...if you can still feel anything at all.

Well, the US and Uk are now at war with the Houthis....who make the Mujahedeen look like cream puffs, sigh :(
The lunatics in D.C. are going to take the Russian's frozen assets...just so you get this...
THAT IS AN ACT OF WAR.
by international law.
The evil scum who rule Israel like Nazi scum with same kind of mindsets actually rule Ukraine....well the Zionists have been widening their bombings and killings as a deliberate strategy to rile up the rest of the region, it's not an accident, it's rampant insanity
and FUCK any of you who claim that is "antisemitism", see the Warsaw Ghetto for actual defiance against evil versus what runs Israel today
Ukraine has finally admitted it has NEVER been able to shoot down ANY of the Russian high speed KH32 missiles, so oops no they sure as fuck haven't' stopped ANY Kinzhals and another TWO patriot batteries got trashed
NATO has burned through over 1/3rd of it's air defence systems for Ukraine...
and since UK and European industry has largely shut down or is limping along, well we're fucked
sanctioning the folk who supply your energy and strategic minerals was SUCH a good idea, never mind blowing up their bloody pipeline
as I've tried getting through your heads, aluminium, iron/steel, ammonia/fertilizer, glass, concrete etc production has been utterly hammered, which happens when energy costs more than double
an d afore any of you spout yer bloody denials....
get it into yer heads that this is WORLD WAR THREE
Since this was the lone factual claim in yet another rant, I decided to look it up. That phrase you used is almost word for word the same as was used in an RT article on the war:Quote:

And The Ukrainians own reports noted attacks on Kiev and the two airbases they use, which are heavily defended.
Go watch the videos of actual strikes, and how the SBU have been rounding up people who dared posting them
videos which prove the Ukrainian narrative has been a lie since the start
The grotesque inconsistency and outright lies and oh you know, fact Ukraine is actually run by NAZIS would put a sensible person into a doubt of the West's utter BS.
You know, the entire Canadian parliament cheering the satanic scum Canadian soldiers once executed out of hand in the fields of France (and they killed the SS for damn good reason, pity the Allies didn't exterminate every single damn one of those filth)

Fuckwits like you and Lindsey Graham led to three Gulf Wears and millions of deaths.
Yes there were THREE, folk tend to forget the first one or the US/Uk's part in giving and encouraging the use of chemical weapons by Saddam on Iranians.
And so many consequences have spun out from that
The Elite declare someone "the Evil Axis!" and you fall for it, hook line and sinker EVERY DAMN TIME
this time though, we (the West) are going to pay and pay a horrible price :(
One of the things fuck muppets don't get about the new lunatic war, is that they are blowing through missiles we CANNOT replace, or at least not in time for the war expanding and thus US/UK ships sinking as they run out of air defences
Ever heard of "Force Z" , hm?
learn the damn lesson of history
first actual footage of a Kinzhal strike (and there's plenty of hits from cruise missiles, super and subsonic)
no you cannot intercept that, it's not possible with a Patriot short of incredible blind luck
the Russians really do have hypersonic, manoeuvrable weapons
the warhead is red hot from the speed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNuVSACiPVQ
the incredible arrogance of the West demanding that only WE can make such things and if WE can't do it no one can, and no one could outproduce us! Oh FFS! :rolleyes:
this isn't 1940, our industry etc is a pathetic blip of what it once was :(
HUBRIS IS FOLLOWED BY NEMESIS
Oh look! It's Team Warcrimes again. Have you spread enough propaganda to qualify for a Russian passport yet?
(a) The Russians kill their own civilians without much thought. Killing the civilians of a country that they want to capitulate to Russian demands is not exactly a stretch.Quote:

The number of times, and variety of ways, that we've shown you that the "Ukraine is deh Nazis" thing is false makes me wonder if your brain has finally turned to mush from the CFS.Quote:

And here's the reason Silverblade is all ranty today:
Ukraine makes anotherRussian ship go BOOM
Quote:
The Ivanovets - a small warship - received "direct hits to the hull" overnight, after which it sank, military intelligence said.
It has released video footage that purports to show the moment of impact, followed by a big explosion.
There has been no word about the incident from Russian authorities.
However, Russian military blogger "Voenkor Kotenok" wrote on Telegram that the boat had sunk after being hit three times by naval drones.
Several features visible on the vessel in the Ukrainian video match those of the Tarantul, or Project 12411, a class of missile boats operated by the Russian and other navies, which the Ivanovets belongs to.
These include the layout of the mast and sensors on top of the main superstructure as well as a large radar dome on top of the bridge.
Ukraine could be facing problems though. Our do nothing congress will let them run out of ammo. The house does not care about their duties, only pleasing their Putin envying orange loud asshole.
Not "could be", are. Ammo is an issue, the West can supply it, but right now politics is holding things up. That's why Silverblade was ranting earlier about using seized assets being an act of war: it's what the Europeans plan to do in order to bypass complaints about cost. You know, cost, that thing Republicans only care about when somebody else is spending the money.
Sigh you really don't get it do you?
Long as Russians die you spunk off without giving a flying fuck for the reality of it all, NATO is fighting to the very last Ukrainian :(
It's a corvette not a fucking cruiser, so how long do you think it will take them to replace it, hm?
US/UK production and costs are utterly shit nowadays, our frikkin aircraft carrier broke down again, and both only have TWELVE aircraft instead of 60
etc etc.
1) again, doing that is by law an Act of War
2) Ukraine will see only a fraction of that money, it will be sucked up into Raytheon etc, and, Lindsey Graham and Hunter Biden's and MANY others noses, basically the whole of Congress and Senate
3) it will do very little good because money doe snot equal production
as I've went on about for a VEYR long time, the West destroyed itself by selling out it's Working Class and manufacturing base
go look at real production numbers and QUALITY of effect of systems we produce
NOT the lying shyte Raytheon et al pay CNN etc to pump out, but the TRUE results *en masse* in the battlefield
see the Vietnam War if you refuse to accept things and it was a lot better back then than now.
You refuse to learn
1914
1940/41
etc
no you will NOT learn...but this horrible time we're all very likely going to die :(
Don't need nukes, fuck knows how many agents China smuggled in over the Mexican border along with Al-Qeda and the Russians
Doesn't take a lot of sabotage to bring our corrupted, rotten, hollowed out systems to utter chaos :(
Please move away from urban areas, please stockpile food, water filtration, emergency supplies etc
Again, my Dad's home town was WIPED OUT by the Luftwaffe in WW2 and the Uk government STILL lies about the real death toll of that atrocity to protect Elite traitors and reputations
That disaster is going to be a fucking BLIP compared to what may ensue across our countries if this madness doesn't calm down
oh, how so?
While ago I posted video where they talked to one of the folk who worked as, iirc fire brigade when Clydebank got bombed, and he said he counted more dead in ONE of the makeshift morgues than the official death toll said, which is what many of the folk there had been saying for decades but many of the documents etc are STILL classified
They made a total fuck off the shelters and defences for the civilians which made the death toll far worse than it should have been...why?
Because we are "Jock scum" the elite didn't give a fuck about
And my Dad had to suffer the consequences of that, seeing rats eating dead peoples eyes out, because their bunkers didn't have proper blast systems or were only half made
Who was in charge of Scottish air defence? The Duke of Hamilton, a vell known Nazi sympathizer
How did the Luftwaffe know how to precisely evade the air defence system, which they did
Note that at that time ALL the German agents in the UK had long been rounded up, turned or executed, because Canaris had outed them because he hated the Nazis
Hess came to Scotland SPECIFICALLY to meet Hamilton
Most of the ordinary folk who arrested Hess said that the man who was later paraded as Hess, was NOT the man they had captured and FYI before you say anything stupid, those folk LIVED IN MY TOWN and they were warned to shut up.
The entire "Hess Affair", especially his death, is rank: why?
Meanwhile:
West's leaders/media has a mental breakdown because Tucker Carlson actually dares to broadcast an interview with Putin
anyone who talks shit on that: Julian Assange, Gonzalo Lira and SO many more.
Zelensky finally manages to push Zaluzhny out, and puts in his place a butcher who everyone hates.
The front is collapsing as the Russian slowly increase their grinding attrition and encircle Adhiivkha
The PROVEN fact of Ukrainian press ganging civilians at gun point cannot be denied any damn longer, and sends more and more men and KIDS and GRANDADS to die at the front line
Good seeing at least one person finally shooting back at the press gangs, lol
The Poles and nutcase Baltic "Chihuahua" states are pushing to go to war with Russia, guess how that may end?
hint: you and me and everyone you know seeing mushroom clouds
If the Ukrainians have soooooo destroyed the Russian's military, why would the Russians attack NATO liek they are all screaming about, hm?
that dichotomy doesn't make sense...unless you are a sick fuck who supports the NeoLiberal/NeoCon warmongering madness
and so much more
sigh, this madness ends with the collapse of the West, or nuclear war.
The Putin interview where he said Hitler was justified in attacking Poland?
Gee, can't see why there'd be blowback in that...
Two years to the day, and it looks like the US is the first to break. Downright shameful to watch the Republican transformation to full blown Putin-appeasers.
It's not that I'm only disappointed in the US and not the parts of Europe that talks the talk and doesn't walk the walk, and I am probably even more riled up by governments like Hungary that is actively trying to undermine the effort to help Ukraine, as well as countries that show up but doesn't really do anything. Ireland is one example, but there are plenty more.
I just have higher expectations of the US than Hungary.
As soon as the MAGA party got the house it was clear any help for Ukraine was fucked, Shit they cannot even pass a budget for our own country. We just hobble along on bandaids so far, And they took some kind of 2wk break. I have no clue why the fuck Congress gets a big break in Feb but they did even though they have work to do. They continue to howl about the border too but refused to even vote on a bill over it because they are scared their own would cross party lines. Same thing for Ukraine funding, But they know was long as the speaker has Trump's dick so far down his throat he's also tasting balls that MAGA can keep anything from happening.
So you still haven't learned from 70+ years of insane US aggression, coups, assassinations millions dead, War on Drugs, War on Terror...
But oh! Mr America is GOOD he is blessed by God! He wears the White Hat! :grinno:
No, AMERICA IS A DEATH CULT!
LEARN THE HARD WHEN THE NUKES BLOW US ALL TO HELL!

Ukraine, much smaller in all ways than Russia and right next door to it so Russia has colossal advantage, Ukraine had NO chance, never did
Russia has huge industrial and mineral capacity
NOT OUR FUCKING BUSINESS!
minimum 500,000 dead Ukrainians so far, the real figure as should be obvious from the panicked recruitment in Ukraine and now folk shooting back at the press gangs
So thanks to you dumb asses supporting this shit like you TACITLY SUPPORT THE PALASTINIAN GENOCIDE, there's about oh 60+% chance we're all going to die.
Fuck Around And Find Out with the world's most potent nuclear arsenal, ah huh
This is NOT Saddam Hussein's broke ass nation we're fucking with, and because of our atrocities over these decades the BRICS will have no mercy for us because they KNOW we, the West cannot exist without exportinf merciless war and slaughter
Attachment 6855
Putin is nothing like Hitler, even if you consider him an enemy you must consider his personality is vastly different and act appropriately
Hitler was a hysteric madman, Putin is not
Hitler was on drugs out the wazoo
Putin is a cold in control rational son of a bitch, he is actually WAY WAY more dangerous in effectiveness than Hitler was, but he is NOT a fucking psychopath
For a fictional comparison: Putin - Tywin Lannister, Hitler = Joffrey.
Joffrey is more dangerous to you in person, but Tywin is WAY more dangerous to you as a political/military opponent
but Tywin won't come after you for shits and giggles, he does things for cold hard logical reasons (but he's still Human and his hatred of Tyrion is foolish but understandable)
Russia is a nuclear super power...so "appeasement" isn't stupid even if Putin was planning on taking over Europe...which is collapsing thanks to the NeoLiberal/NeoCon/corporate madness!
See the Farmer Protest and as I have stated again and again in the economic thread, Europe is DAMNED DESTORYED FUCKED GONE IT IS NO MORE, IT HAD CEASED TO BE!!
(see the Farmers Protests etc)
They shut down most of the steel aluminium ammonia cement etc production because it's too expensive, and you CANNOT have a modern civilization without them
Europe is going to end up a Third World hellhole in a few years :(
America's Elite CAUSED to a fair extent the Second World War so they could rule after egging Asia and Europe to annihilate themselves, and like it or damn not evidence supports that
And so, they try again...
What's the point
Macron outed what's gonna happen
enjoy the shrooms
Why bother
Reconcile these quotes, please.
If Hitler was a madman, and Putin is a cold, rational son of a bitch, then why would appeasement work with Putin? Why would he stop if he knows all he has to do is rattle the nuclear sabre in order to take whatever he wants? On the other hand, if he's so rational why would he ever use Nukes, if that would result in Mutually Assured Destruction.
Because you have been acting like a shit-flinging monkey, Silver.
You have been calling everyone here idiots and sheep and acting like only YOU can see what's really happening. Only YOU know the true corruption in the system.
OWN THAT. BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR BEHAVIOUR LIKE AN ADULT, AND EITHER APOLOGISE FOR IT OR JUSTIFY IT.
BIG fucking hint, Silver - we ALL see what you see. WE ALL know that things ain't exactly perfect in this world. Shitting on US doesn't change anything - you're just abusing whoever is nearby to express your rage. We don't deserve that abuse. Nobody does, with the obvious exception of the actual political leaders in charge. Go send them a rage-filled email ranting about their actions (just try not to get onto any "watch lists").
And NO, just because we voted for [Leader X], that does NOT mean we are responsible for all of their political choices. Representative democracy is imperfect, and a politician's accountability to their electorate is not immediate. But running a country is a complex, multifaceted job - and we (the people) have no choice but to pick and choose which issues we agree (and disagree) with our politicians about, and vote accordingly.
YOU KNOW ALL OF THIS.
OWN IT.
British and French troops ARE in Ukraine, ARE engaged in acts of war directly against Russia
What gets me is the wankers are freaking out claiming this is "breaches security" and that Scholz is naughty for exposing this, not that fact we've started World War Three! :rolleyes:
Like the Russians don't know about this already (they've bombed the French troops in Ukraine several times because of this and using their Foreign legionas saboteurs) and the fact that like, duh, WE ARE DIRECTLY KILLING RUSSIANS!
Keep believing yer MSM, gutless, NeoLiberal/NeoCon insanity as the world burns around ya, jeesh
You refused to learn from all the other wars started on lies by the "good guy West", genocides etc and you still won't learn
Well, you are going to learn, the hard way, as will all of us :(

Fury as Olaf Scholz says Brit soldiers are 'supporting' Ukraine missile strikes
Germany's chancellor argued that German soldiers must not be linked to the targets reachable by the Taurus system, whether in Ukraine or within Germany.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz brought attention to a potential risk to UK defence on Monday when he disclosed that British soldiers are currently 'supporting' Ukraine with its missile strikes, by helping to find targets and aim.
Despite Germany's role as the second-largest supplier of military aid to Ukraine after the United States, Scholz has been hesitant to send Taurus long-range cruise missiles to the conflict zone, expressing concerns about direct German involvement in the war.
While addressing an editorial conference of the German news agency dpa, Scholz clarified his reluctance, stating that the Taurus missiles, with a range of up to 500 kilometres, pose challenges in terms of target control.
He stressed that the British and French, who have already sent Storm Shadow and Scalp long-range missiles to Ukraine, have a level of control that cannot be replicated in Germany.
He said: "What is being done in the way of target control and accompanying target control on the part of the British and the French can’t be done in Germany. Everyone who has dealt with this system knows that."
Asked if he's worried that German soldiers would have to go to Ukraine to control what the missiles target, Scholz said that “German soldiers must at no point and in no place be linked to targets this (Taurus) system reaches," and added "not in Germany either".
The revelation about the presence of British soldiers firing missiles in Ukraine adds a new dimension to the ongoing debate over Germany's role in supporting Ukraine. The UK, along with France, had previously announced the dispatch of long-range missiles to aid Ukraine's defence efforts
In response to Scholz's comments, Tobias Ellwood, the former chairman of the Commons defence committee, accused Germany of deliberately distracting from its reluctance to provide its own long-range missile system to Ukraine.
On Tuesday, the UK Government confirmed the deployment of a "small number" of soldiers in Ukraine, engaged in medical training. Regarding Scholz's disclosure, the Ministry of Defence referred inquiries to Kyiv, stating that Ukraine's use of Storm Shadow missiles and their targeting processes are the business of the Ukrainian armed forces.
Despite Germany's hesitancy, the UK, along with other allies, continues to provide equipment to Ukraine to counter Russia's aggression.
That may be true, but that's not what he said.
And what people are upset about is his ambiguous wording, which could be interpreted the way you did (and certainly will be interpreted as such by Russia, regardless of the reality on the ground).
What Scholtz is talking about: the UK and France have sent Storm Shadow and Scalp long-range missiles to Ukraine, just as the US has sent HIMARS missiles to Ukraine. In all 3 of those cases, the missile systems have been modified to be geo-locked so that they cannot be launched at targets inside Russia.
Scholz is concerned that the German missile system (Taurus) has much longer range (500 miles vs ~100-200 miles) and could reach Moscow. His comments about Germans not being involved in target control or target selection reflect the reality that something could go wrong if Germany implemented a similar geo-locking mechanism (they have not done so as of yet), and Ukraine could find some way to overcome those restrictions and hit Moscow with German-made Taurus missiles. Politically, the fallout could be disastrous. He is correct to worry about that possibility.
However, the exact same possibility exists for the UK, France, and the US - and they've all managed to implement these geo-restrictions successfully, and with a minimum of easily misinterpreted public statements that could serve as fodder for Russia's disinformation machine.
Now, could British and French troops be on the ground in the Ukraine right now, directly selecting targets and operating the targeting systems themselves? Sure. Is that likely? Absolutely not - that would be the highest possible level of malpractice, given the international situation.
Could they be sitting in the same room as the Ukrainian operators, walking them through the operational targeting steps, while carefully offering no opinion on which targets to select? Yes, absolutely. But if that's true, how the hell am I supposed to froth at the mouth about it? And we all know that frothing at the mouth is more fun, so that's why we get quotes like this:

To a leftist dipshit, everybody they don't like is Hitler. And every opinion they don't like is fascist. Because they are idiots first, and leftists second. Liberals used to be smart people, not anymore, now they are the people who harbor multiple neuroses and psychoses in one body.
You know what's ant-Semitic as hell? All this "free Palestine" bullshit during the immediate military reaction to a massive terrorist attack mounted from the Gaza strip in which over 1,300 people, mostly civilians, were massacred. The face of anti-Semitism belongs to the body that is tearing down posters of kidnapped (and almost certainly murdered) children.
So the real Hitler here is the Left. They are apologists for the modern attempts to exterminate the Jews. They are the ones wielding lawfare like this was some banana republic in the Seventies. They are the ones who attempt to stifle free speech because they find it "offensive." They are the ones who team up with corporations (the factors of production), as long as they aren't owned by Elon Musk, in order to suppress political opponents. They are the ones in charge of the CIA and the FBI now, and are in full control of The Deep State. They are the party of shadow-bans.
Wow. I always find myself wondering. Account hacked by a Russian bot? Or fell down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole?
