  1. You really have no clue what is actually going on as our mainstream media and politicians don’t want you to.
    As one politician pointed out when he was leaving office, ‘if our citizens actually knew what we did, we’d be strung up at the nearest lamp posts’.
    The Russian Bear is PISSED as thousands of dead Russians were slaughtered in the Donbass region of Ukraine. Thanks the Biden Administration to wanting NATO to join in WW3 with the US.
    I expect retaliation not by missiles but by Russia shutting off it’s oil to the failing Western Nations and really creating Chaos as fuel supplies dry up and prices increase exponentially.
    I truly feel sorry for the game of pawn our politicians put us as and the innocent lives lost just so our corrupted politicians can stay in office abusing it’s citizens.
    It seems our politicians want to collapse the economy as well with their actions of keeping fossil fuel productivity hampered and suppressed.
    The ‘Great Reset’ doesn’t look like it’s going to be fun at all.

    1. JoJo

      Mark Dolans comments are Bang on.

      Well “they” also Said: “Build Back Better” too right.?
      Seems to me that is and continues to be the plan JOJO…Destroy us in order to remake us.

      Personally I’d love to see JTF and every Seal Team get together and plan a simultaneous removal action in both Ottawa and DC….supported by a massive clearing out of the GARBAGE: Libs, Dems, Greens, NDP, the Squad, the View & the Entire MSM North America Wide….I don’t honestly believe we can wait 3-4 yrs for elections that will be in my estimation, totally predetermined.

      A TRUE PURGE.!!

      oh….and At the same time lets put a 20′ Physical and Electronic Wall around Hollyweird ….just for starters….we wont miss em.

    2. “The Russian Bear is PISSED as thousands of dead Russians were slaughtered in the Donbass region of Ukraine. ”

      No, no, no. I don’t know where you got the thousands from, but that is besides the point, the live ones were slaughtered, not the dead ones, once it is dead there is no point in slaughtering it. Also slaughtering traitors is not a bad thing.

  2. So now it’s a choice between supporting the alphabet people or a radical feminist? My, my! What this society has become.

  3. This Ukraine War is going to be interesting to see as Putin isn’t interested in damaging the infrastructure while the Ukraine government probably will do that itself as it tries to stop the military advancement.
    Which is very stupid as it’s not at all going to stop it as air support will ensure the advancement continues no matter what.

    1. Jojo, NME666 is (at least) a bit weird. So I’ll answer your question since I did mandatory army service back there in Romania, before Iron Curtain fell:
      1. All E European countries have this concept of ‘total war’. EVERYONE should fight for their country.
      2. All civil/logistic ‘assets’ better be destroyed rather then leave them in the hands of the enemy. Destroying infrastructure slows down tanks/heavy stuff and the aggressor needs heavy machinery to support logistically the ground troops.
      3. Air dominance does not guarantee a win. Yes, it helps a lot but you still need troops on the ground to force your government + keep that government in place.
      4. Because of pt.1, Putin will have hard time maintaining Ukraine. It will be an accretion war with continuous guerilla and heavy losses. Support in Mother Russia for Putin will diminish until someone in his inner circle will organize a violent/abrupt end for him. The sooner the better.

    2. Facepalm. There is no life after russia. Ukrainians understand it, they know what russia has done to them in the past and they know what russia will do again. That is why they fight. they are fighting for freedom, they are fighting for survival, they don’t care if they have a bridge once the dust settles.

      That is why teenage girls are running with AKs. That is why grandmas tell the Siberians to put sunflower seed in their pockets. That is why they blow themselves up to take out the bridges. Ruskij Korabl, idi nahuj.

      And they will keep on fighting. They have two choices death on their feet or death in a gulag. This is their Thermophile, their Alamo, their Vizna, their Shiroyama.

  4. jojo, just how stupid are you? The damage to infrastructure will stop ground troops, thus leaving the Ukes to concentrate on air advance. Strategic thinker you are not, so you must be a bible banger (aka Idiot)

    1. Battle bridges are usually carried as well and can be flown into areas needed.
      They have helicopters that could lift tanks over too.
      Which would be flown in or flown over…
      Hmm. Drinking too much CNN joy juice?

      1. “They have helicopters that could lift tanks over too.”

        World’s heaviest helicopter Mi-26 can lift about twenty tons in a standard configuration slightly more in emergency, That is less than a half of an empty tank. Also it is a very specialized, very expensive machine that you probably don’t want to use as an assault transport. Because it takes only one stinger to have one dead giant chopper, one dead tank and two specialized crews made good.

    2. Your not in Kansas anymore waiting for a hurricane.

      These are extremely well trained for any contingency soldiers who if the areas are too dangerous.
      They bring in the drones that have the areas cleared for them before advancing further.
      In this day and age, being a ground troops are a fools folly against advanced weaponry.

      Putin goal is to have this done Civil War done in an extremely short time and doesn’t want the country.
      He only wants guaranteed assurances all offensive and defensive weapons are not deployed anymore.

      1. Stop trying to sound learned or informed. You’re not. If anything, Pootin by now is stunned by the resolution of Ukrainian people. And what he wants to permanently cripple Ukraine. To annex parts part of Ukraine into russia and to reduce Ukraine into the status of Belarus/Vichy Francre. He will also want to exterminate all undesirables/trouble makers. “Idi nahuj” replied Ukrainians.

        Can you say: … wait for it …

        Quagmire!!!!!

    3. Bullshit.

      The plan is to render Lesser Russia uninhabitable and useless as a staging ground for Russian tanks heading west to Frankfurt.

      Don’t be surprised if they stage a nuclear meltdown on their way out.

  5. Two things linked here are the resistance Ukrainians are putting up and Conrad Black’s advice to the truckers to surrender. The Ukes are fighting to the bitter end, inflicting big losses on the Russians and making Putin look rather foolish. Black advised the truckers to give up without gaining anything. The truckers stayed until Blackface was forced to blunder into overplaying his hand resulting in an embarrassing clime down which is still reverberating through the country and beyond. Putting up a spirited fight gets you respect and may even change the outcome of the battle. We need to fight.

    1. When you have control of all the Electricity and Fuel supply in which Russia has now.
      Unless you follow the new rules being put in place, he’ll just shut them off until they get the just of who’s in charge now.

      https://www.algora.com/Algora_blog/2022/02/25/what-did-putin-mean-by-denazification-of-ukraine-and-why-is-it-so-important

      Not looking out to take over the government, just change direction in what they are trying to impose on everyone.
      And knock off joining some other countries alliances like EU or NATO.

  6. The goal in Ukraine is Jonestown on a horrific scale. Zelensky and the Empire are forcing Ukrainians to commit revolutionary suicide, so they can blame the bloodbath on Putin.

    Only a few groups who have good reason to expect liquidation after the liberation—Nazis, homosexuals, and the Zelensky gang—are serious about fighting to the bitter end. Most everybody else is running for his life, not from the Russians, but from Nazi gangs with orders to drag deserters back to the front, or kill them if they resist.

    All Satanic cults end in mass murder-suicide, the Peoples Temple among them. Globalism is a Satanic cult, and the Empire will not die without trying to drown the world in blood.

    (Did you know the Berlin street fight scenes in Downfall were shot in Kiev? That’s what we’re seeing—the Battle of Berlin as farce.)

    1. The first to respond to that is too stupid to exist. Responds with (Trump’s) an idiot. The twerp did not get the jist of the posting at all.
      The Left has such TDS, I would hate to play a game with a “trump card”. It would trigger them every time.

  7. So?
    Which one is Bagdad Bob?
    On this our daily Fear Porn Show?
    I honestly have no Fucks to Give.
    We are being offered a distraction to shift attention away from the Greedy Evil Bastards infesting our society..
    Putin and this “Ukraine Crisis” amount to “Look Squirrel”at this point in time.
    I fear nothing from Putin and his possible intentions,when the evil far closer to home is now naked ,exposed and still permitted to waste oxygen.

    Assume we are pulled into a “Great War” to resist Russian Expansion..
    What would Canadians be fighting for?
    What would we be defending?”
    What freedoms remain for some outside agency to strip us of?
    And with whose borrowed dollars will we be “Supporting Ukraine”?

    Now best of luck to the Russians and their Ukrainian relatives,peace be upon them.
    We have far more serious problems at home.
    Why do Western Canadians still cling to the Confederated Kleptocracy of Can Ahh Duh?
    Are we going to thank the thieves,as they “Return our Freedoms”?
    Those Rights and Freedoms that were never theirs to take.

    How shall we “Share” $9,000,000,000,000 (is a trillion a million million?) DEBT?
    What choices and freedoms shall we leave our children’s children?

    So if The Ukraine Crisis is real,remember all the most egregious liars insist it be so,then let us round up all our leaders and helpers of the last two years…And “volunteer them” to help Russia.

    Yes Russia.
    Because as we have learnt the hard way,with help such as these,we need no enemies.

    1. Don’t worry economic collapse is here as the politicians in United States impodes on themselves and the world economy has to reset away from the US Dollar as all these Banks now take major hits and can’t function.
      The American government is so bloated with government paid people, pensions, funds all over,
      It’s breaking in an ugly way economically including the stock markets as decayed infrastructure in many areas break.
      Those companies don’t exist or went to a different country.

      Russia is totally a different country since it collapsed long ago and only wants to stand back because this will effect every country worldwide shedding the US dollars. The US Government is trying to make it really ugly as it’s life is squeezed and it too collapses into a new system.

  8. An aside to OJ

    I’m starting to skip your posts. I did the same with David’s a while ago, David’s posts basically say “come and look over here to see what I have to say” with a teaser for the story and a reconnect to his site, and I’ve found that much of what is contained therein I’ve either seen elsewhere or isn’t worth the time to go 3 or 4 connections deep to see what is actually being talked about. That type of coverage isn’t why I’m here. It works for many, don’t get me wrong, but it doesn’t work for me.

    Your posts appear to me to contain a lot of disconnected stories about whatever you find interesting. Part of Kate’s brilliance and masterful presentation is the pithiness of the header and a single topic for discussion below. Sometimes there’s 2 or 3 links, but they are all connected in how she looks at the issue. Yes, we wander all over the place in the discussion, but it all starts from the link and her take on it. If you want to be a news aggregation blog then you’re doing a good job. There are lots of news aggregation blogs, and I don’t come here for that.

    In my opinion, you could just say “the world exists and is changing” and leave the discussion below that to be a free for all and it wouldn’t be very different than the last couple of your posts. I doubt this is what is intended, but that’s how I see it. I’m sure many others will disagree. Maybe more posts with less topics on each, and the posts following a theme? Or, ignore me and continue and I’m sure there will be no negatives for you.

    Kate trusts you, and I’m sure the two of you have discussed what is appropriate for posting and how. It’s her house, and I’m a visitor. And you have no idea whether I actually pay to support the site, which is an extra “feel free to ignore” flag.

    1. You’re not being fair. OJ brings a collection of news that tends to be overlooked by MSM. that’s a good thing.

      1. So why doesn’t OJ start a news aggregation site and say “here’s what I think is interesting today” and post a single link like David does? There are lots of aggregation sites. This, historically, has not been one of them.

        Your mileage has varied, but that’s not why I come here. I like the discussion free-for-all once a topic has been defined. My choices aren’t binding on anyone else, but I don’t know that OJ has received feedback like this. If I’m going to discount what OJ has to say, then I’m going to tell them why (like I have with the child-like understanding of UnMe, or the lack-of-comprehension Allan S). I typically have a half-hour or so per day to catch up on what is happening (and sometimes opine). I can’t do a deep-dive on everything that interests me, so welcome someone of similar outlook providing a short-form upon which to base discussion.

        1. I don’t know why he doesn’t. Maybe because, and I am just speculating here, Kate likes when he does what he does here? Either way that is all that I got to say about this. I like what he is doing.

  9. Did no one notice the bombshell from Vlad’s speech a week or so ago? He says he asked Bill Clinton what the US would think about Russia joining NATO back in 2000. Apparently, Clinton wasn’t warm to the idea.

    Doesn’t that expose what’s really going on in Washington? As Ike warned, the MIC took over foreign relations. He didn’t see Big Pharma taking over health care, and Big Tech taking over public discourse, but no one’s perfect. The boys in Washington and Brussels are there to ensure that billions of dollars are funnelled into weapons that feed no one, clothe no one, and house no one, and ultimately, protect no one. That’s all they are there for. Everything else is window-dressing and distractions designed to divert us.

    1. First of all Pootin saying that Clinton something 20 years ago is a proof of exactly nothing.

      Second russia does not belong among the civilized.

      It is nothignburger not a bombshell.

  10. Sort of between a rock and a hard place if you dislike globalism and Putin in his present form.

    On balance, I would rather see Putin defeated and forced out of office, but realistically, if he does vacate (probably through death) then who takes over? What will Russia become? Something slightly better, or even worse?

    And a victory over Putin in Kiev will just leave us with puffed up globalists ready to push their own crazy agenda further up the hill.

    The only way sanity can prevail in the world is some third way, we had a chance at that but it went nowhere really, other than some feel good speeches and a bit of a demo for a largely brain-dead audience.

    Some have acted as if we live in a tyranny equal to that of Hitler or Stalin or Mao — this of course is ridiculous and a complete misunderstanding of history. We would not be sitting around on the internet talking about it, if that were the case. But that doesn’t excuse the likes of minor Napoleon JT, or brain-dead Biden, for their considerable flaws and wrongdoings. On a scale of one to ten, they are around a three, but the French aristocrats of 1789 were not all that bad either and look what happened to them.

    There is no infallible law of natural justice. Some tyrants never meet up with punishment in this life. Others have their demerits magnified, which lingers on into history whether true or false. Franco, for example, ran a pretty mean show, but he was a pale imitation of Mussolini or even Pinochet. And who’s to say Chile would ever have escaped communism, had it not been for the likes of Pinochet?

    Fidel Castro escaped in this life too, so apparently will his weak-sauce younger brother. You thought maybe I was going somewhere else with that? Maybe.
