Russian Road Trip

Democrats Ethical Energy Military Operation Empty Chair 54 Comments

Aris Rousinos over at UnHerd had a good essay at the end of January on what we’re seeing unfold today in the Ukraine.

UnHerd- Putin’s next move, a shock and awe campaign could overwhelm Ukraine

And in case you missed it earlier this morning O.J. had a good piece from Victor Davis Hansen as well.

Putin’s Predictabilities- It is easy to predict what the Russian president will do in any given situation. Biden is making it easier for Putin to act with aggression.

  1. High oil prices.

    The US citizen is funding this and I’m pissed. Day 1 executive order stopped building the pipeline from you, Witch Michigan wants to close down another pipeline, stop federal oil leases against court order, deny Israel’s pipeline, approve the Nord 2 pipeline and don’t delay or stop the high-cost methane rules and somehow it’s Trump’s fault.

  2. What should I believe?
    Every MSM outlet has lied to us on every issue for the past few decades.
    Is any of their reporting on this true?
    Is any of their analysis in any way accurate?
    Do their experts have any more credibility on this than Greta does on weather?
    They can pick and choose their ‘experts’ to provide whatever narrative they wish to push.

    That is one of the problems that the MSM was too dumb to understand or predict: That when they destroyed all of their credibility for politically partisan reasons they would have none left when a real crisis occurred, if indeed this is a real crisis.

    My default position now is that everything they want me to believe about any issue is a lie.

      1. The Ruskies have already found 17 bio weapons labs similar to the Wuhan one cooking up new little brothers to Covid in the parts of Ukraine they have conquered.
        Seems the CIA has been busy little beavers over there.
        I hope the Russians go totally Ivan on any NWO thugs azzes left.
        They need to take a flame thrower to those places.

  3. I wonder if the Ukraine’s problem is that their elites sold them out by aligning with the likes of momma of the Fidget Midget, Jorge de las Sorrows, and the Fidget Midget herself?

    1. Ukraine has multiple problem, the cancer know as russia is the biggest problem Ukraine has.

        1. Nope, NATO is expanding because russia’s neighbors fear russia. Those that haven’t joined NATO now have russia occupying parts of their territory: Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova. That that joined NATO are free of russian cancer.

          End of Cold war means nothing here. Russia remains a cancer, just re-rebranded.

  4. Ukraine recent history.
    2013: America orchestrates the ousting of President Viktor Yanukovych.
    2022: Russia invades.
    Being held poor with corrupt politics while being a major grain grower/exporter and situated on prime land location.

  5. I’m actually surprised that prime minister Al Jolson is condemning this attack by Putin against the Ukraine. Putin said it himself loud and clear he’s attacking NEO-NAZIS, so what’s not to like Justin?

  6. Apparently Putin is pulling a Trudeau. Media reports from Moscow that anti war demonstrators have been arrested outside the Kremlin.

  7. Putin does what he can because he can.

    He benefits when no one else does.

    Who will stop him? No one.

    Tough luck for Ukraine, just like Georgia.

    Soon it will be tough luck for Poland, the Baltic states and every other place Putin thinks is his.

      2. Fuck you. Those are not former russian territories. Those are places that Siberian Mongols (that should have been exterminated in 1940s) conquered and polluted.

    2. I doubt he will conquer entire Ukraine. The further west he goes the more hated he is, and the more expensive the war would get. As for conquering Poland? That would be very expensive. Not only Poland has about four times GDP of Ukraine but Polish forces are much better trained and equipped. The Siberian Mongol invasion of Ukraine is very much an asymmetric war from the start. Poland’s entire military strategy since russian occupiers were removed back to the shithole of russia has been to make herself very expensive to occupy.

        1. Fortunately, your senses appear to be systematically poisoned by Stolichnaya and thus do not amount to too much. Cyka.

      2. The entire Ukrainian upper military was bought off by Putin.
        Shoot , I’d even venture Zelensky is a double agent now working with Putin.
        It has just been too easy.
        He is gonna cake walk the whole width and breadth of Ukraine, noone is going to stop him.

        1. Don’t think so. Maybe you’re right, the reports are sketchy but it does not appear that Ukrainians aren’t willing to put up a fight: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10547573/Ukraine-strikes-Kievs-troops-shoot-five-helicopters-Putins-forces-losses.html
          As long as they keep bleeding the Siberians they may save a lot of their country… for now at least. The thing is, Ukrainians are every bit as good fighters and tough people used to hardship as russians. Many of them also fiercely patriotic and willing to sacrifice. For most Ukrainians the thought of russian boot on their necks is beyond insulting. I am not a fan of Ukraine but I see where they are coming from. Think Croats in Vukovar or Dubrovnik in 91 or Poles in Warsaw in summer 44.

  9. CBC News is blaming “pipeline politics” for the fact that oil-rich Canada imports Russian crude oil.

      1. Good! Now, turn off line 5, as well as all pipelines to BC. The trifecta!

        Alright you bastards, now let’s talk Covid mandates and your rapidly approaching ritual suicides.

  10. Conflict & War is good for some.
    Rich people & politicians never suffer.
    Poor people get it the worst.
    What’s new?

  11. There is a Venn Diagram joke about Pearl Clutchers and War Hawks here.
    The west no longer has any moral high ground to preach from.
    The place is a cold-war frankenstein, and a powder keg, like Yugoslavia was, but not quite as fragmented. NATO sure fixed that up, didn’t they, and gave birth to a brand-new Moslem state in Europe, ain’t they great?
    I’m sure NATO would also like a brand-new fascist client state on the border of Russia, but Emma with two moms ain’t up to the job.
    Har Har!

    1. “The place is a cold-war frankenstein, ”

      What place? Ukraine or russia?

      Compared to russia (or serbia) everyone has moral high ground.

    2. And as usual you have pulled nonsense analogies out of your ass.

      Yugo was mini Soviet Union and needed to be broken down. Serbs (mini russians in the same counterfeit Adidas track suits) tried to prevent it and got righteously spanked for it. Successful nations of Slovenia and Croatia gained their independence. As for the rest I don’t care as they are worth one another although all are better than Serbs.

      Ukraine is different, it contains a large number of remnants of russian occupation that should have been cleaned up after soviet union fell. Unfortunately Ukrainians failed to do it, as did Georgians, Moldovan’s and several others. They all are paying the price now. Russian controlled areas of Ukraine are like Republika Srpska, scum should have been cleansed. that is all.

      1. Oh Noes! Their on…stolen land!!!
        Just like the Jooooooooooooooooooosssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!
        Suck it up, libtard.

        1. Nope, Jews aren’t on stolen land. Subhuman Siberoan Mongols are.

          Thank you for calling, Pootin fellator.

          1. Do you really think Ukraine is worth defending from the Siberian Mongol? Then for a few more hours, at least, there’s still time to volunteer to be the last to die for Vladimir Zelensky.

            But you won’t. You expect other people to spill Russian and Jewish blood for you.

            No. Burn in hell with Michal Chomiak.

          2. Nobody is spilling Jewish blood. That is just an idiotic conjecture that you keep regrugitating in vain hope of advancing a false narrative.

            I have no love for Ukraine, and I do not support sending US or Canadian or Polish troops there. Ukrainians mostly hate people who share my ancestry and would not welcome them anyway.

            I absolutly support doing everything possible to help Ukraine by other means. Sending weapons is one such way. Despite being outgunned, Ukrainian forces have so far been fighting quite effectivelly. Recently delivered Javelin ATGMs have so far been proving very effective for example. So yes, everything that will help Ukrainians bleed the Siberian horde is a good idea. The more russians die, the more expensive the invasion becomes, the better.

  13. Russia is a trashy assh*le of a country. They are a nation of lazy drunks who are incapable of producing anything, but instead rely on exploiting resources and exporting weapons. China you can respect on some level, at least until they take Taiwan.

    1. They do keep the International Space Station operational so that’s gotta be some pretty good drunk rocket ship flying.

    2. That is true, apart for vodka (not as good as Scandinavian or Polish brands anyway) can anyone name one rssian consumer brand that is in demand in civilized world?

        1. I said consumer goods. I like AKs very much, although I’d take Beryl, Galil, Valmet or Zastava over russian ones. But yes, AKs are nice, I also like SKS and SVD. But those are not really mainstream consumer products, are they?

  14. I think it unlikely that Putin would attack the Baltic states or Poland as they are NATO members and there could be an all-out assault on all Russian military assets. If there was no nuclear exchange, Russia would probably end up losing a large portion of their military and an even larger fraction of their naval forces unless they had the foresight to move them away from the Black Sea and Baltic or White Seas. If there was a nuclear exchange it would be relatively speaking even worse for Russia, the state might cease to exist. Putin might have more optimistic views but I doubt that his military would, and he would therefore be exposed to the risk of an internal revolt and removal by coup. Even if this Ukrainian adventure goes badly, that could be the result. We might think Ukraine is a pushover and will be mopped up in days. But who knows what their actual plans and capabilities might be, if they face invasion they might not prefer to fight near the borders. Putin could fail in what seems to be his main objective, to create a power vacuum in Kiev that some designated pro-Russian actors could exploit. He could decide to cut his losses at some point and retreat back with the two eastern enclaves (Donetsk and Lugansk) fortified and de facto absorbed like Crimea back into Russia. He could spin that as a win and find other things to do with his time.

    However, I think it more likely that he does create the puppet government in Kiev and that might become a source of constant information leaks as Putin channels all his anti-globalist information (and disinformation) through them, perhaps they have access in Kiev to valuable info as well since it appears that the country has been essentially a CIA funded money laundering operation. People there might have a lot of damaging information about leading western political and business figures. In particular, he is quite aware of who Chrystia Freeland is, who her maternal ancestors were, and what that might provide in terms of possible leverage. These are facts that the mainstream media in Canada have pretty much buried in a cone of silence but they are well known in some places.

    Nobody should underestimate Putin’s desire for revenge for real and imagined slights by the new world order which essentially kicked him out in 2014. Part of his self-image as this or that might be for show, and part may be a real inner belief. He may be half mad but that is 50% better than a lot of our leadership.

    1. Pootin isn’t mad at all. He is a very intelligent, evil to the bone, cold calculating, sociopath. He needs an easy victory to boost his popularity within a failed, pathologicaly aggressive, drunk, low IQ nation. This is all it is about. Only idiots try to legitimize Pootin’s behavior.

  16. I can’t speak for Canadians and I won’t attempt to speak for Americans in general, but speaking for myself let the Ukraine, Russia, Europe work it out.

    Me, I’d rather see the U.S. focus on stopping millions of criminal aliens invading our country from the south.
