Because there’s really no other explanation for this that makes sense.

Am I missing something? It’s better for Ukrainians to defend their own country, isn’t it?
Neocons couldn’t possibly permit us to miss out on an opportunity to send deplorables off to another land war thousands of miles from North America. Long since past time someone checked the Pelosi and Cheney family portfolios, and assessed the value of their familys’ stake in defense contractors.
Of course it’s best for Ukrainians to defend their own country and I wish them the best, because it seems wishes and source materials on gender fluidity are about all they can expect from Trudeau.
What your missing is the projection of weakness in this video. This is what they create to “warn Putin” of what awaits him? A cat lady with an airsoft rifle?
Ha Ha Ha Cat Lady….”Cry Havoc And Let Slip The Cats Of War”
No, I got that. But, during WWII, the resistance was made up of lots of people you wouldn’t call trained combatants and let’s face it, the Russian military is much more powerful than whatever the Ukrainians can put up against it. Wolverines!
That’s true, but the visual persuasion here goes in the other direction. It’s more likely to seed despair than courage in Ukrainians.
I saw that too Kate.
But I also saw that “even the cat ladies” will be fighting you. Be prepared for a very long and brutal resistance.
Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact–look it up.
No way she’s 51. She moves like 75. This is worse than the wooden guns they were practicing with. I think we know where the false flag is coming from.
Precisely Kate’s popint.
An army of German Karens? With dried up eggs and all? Vlad and the boys are really quaking in their boots.
“Ich demand to see ze Manager, sofort!”
BOOM
An army of cat ladies.
They are just making sure those insurrectionist white nationalist truck drivers get back in line, take their four jabs and damn well deliver their favorite artisan organic free range vegan cat food on time.
My 2 cents worth are “France”. The French are getting ready to fuck up the EU as only the French can do. Macron gave a speech a month ago where he called for the European Union to change from a “Europe of internal cooperation to a powerful Europe active in the world, fully sovereign, free in its choices and master of its own destiny.”
The Germans don’t like to drive from the back seat. This partnership with Russia seems like a good way to keep the French from ruining Germany’s control of the EU. IMHO.

Wanting to punch above their weight. They still haven’t recovered from WWI.
I realized years ago this EU thing was the way to defeat Britain. Then Britain exited. Unfortunately, BoJo is a failure and Britain might find itself finally under their thumb.
Notice how all England’s colonies are under tyranny?
How are France’s former colonies doing?
Let’s not forget Bart Simpson’s view of the French: “cheese-eating surrender monkeys”.
That was a thing before Bart Simpson. But I appreciate your point.
And she just so happens to speak good english. What a coincidence! All those Ukrainian english speakers will finally be able to know whats going on in the Ukraine.
// some buried layers of sarc here
She’s tank lube.
The great game is back.
We were there 3 times in the 20th century. We wasted far too much money on them. They’re subjects, let them bend the knee. France is itching to bring back their glory days.
Back in 2005, Niall Ferguson wrote an article in the WSJ that clarified for me what I was seeing.
We have 4 choices, Pax Americana, islamofascism, Chinese communism or default to armed camps because that was the way of the world for most of its recorded history.
And now we have the globalist technostate on top of all this.
There are 250k-300k illegals pouring over the US southern border every month. Sending us to defend Ukraine’s border is wag the dog. Let them have it. Germans gotta German….This is what Europe does.
But they’re all a shadow of what they were.
Why should we incinerate millions over the Ukraine or any other part of Europe.
Tell the to have at it and we will sell you guns, ammo and bombs.
See how quickly Ukraine shuts the F*ck Up.
NATO will never come to our aid, why are we spending Billions protecting the 3rd largest economy in the world.
Retarded Bullshit.
Protect the EU while we have an undefended coastline of over 35,000 miles on 3 oceans.
Canada’s Defense Policy Is a Do Not Defend Canada Policy.
Our Military Leaders are Addicted to medals and fancy meals and bullshit war stories in Belgium or where ever in the hell the NATO HQ is, get out of NATO tell the Ukes to attack Putin if they want, to Hell with the EU’s problems
Everyone relax…only the best and brightest of minds are at the levers of power at NATO so Putin knows what he’s up against. So yeah, no cakewalk today Pootie.
Not a baby shower

“Run Dimitri! The Babba Brigade is attacking!”
“I know!! Those babushkas are throwing frozen perogies at us”
Wait.? ‘Karen’ fights for the Ukraine Army? Look out Putin … your troops are about to get a stern talking-to … with follow-up emails.
Regarding the cover photo of “51 year old Marta”, her expression looks like they instructed her to “just imagine it’s your ex-husband!”
They’re nuts:

Germany to raze a 1,000-year-old forest in the name of ‘going green’
… German authorities, completely ignoring German sentiment about forests, which is quite mystical, have decided to mow down the big one to get some wind power put in, in the name of ‘going green.’ Like the Central Valley of California, which has been turned brown and starved of water in the name of ‘going green,’ Germany is trashing its most beautiful forest in the name of ‘going green.’ Funny how that works.
Reinhardswald is known as the Grimm’s Fairy Tale forest. In a weird conundrum (the Germans probably have a word for this) the greenie industrial complex has morphed into Rumplestiltskin, spinning wind into gold for the state of Hesse’s bureaucrats but demanding Germany’s first child as payment.…
Everything they told you to believe is a lie.
The new forest will be steel and last forever. Get with the program.
Ukraine is (mostly) a failed cleptocratic basketcase of a state. Putin will NOT allow a Somalia to be set up on the borders of Western Russia. Even less so when it appears NATO’s interest in Ukraine is as a fantastic forward operating base with access to the Black Sea, and nothing else.
Ukraine is to Russia as Mexico is to the US right now. I find my self hoping for war in Ukraine: not so that Russia can go in and “clean up” Ukraine (though that might not be such a terrible thing for Ukraine), but rather so that all these liberal scum and their glorious NATO tin soldiers will get butchered in their tens of thousands, so that the West can find out once and for all what a real war looks like, so that thousands and thousands of Western families will grieve the loss of their young men and women for a (most welcome) change after decades of doing this to others, and the rank-and-file “deplorable” members of NATO militaries will finally cease their childish fetish with “civilian control of the military is the ultimate Nirvana”. They will then stage a long overdue mutiny. Thus leading finally to the glorious revolution that rounds up liberals by the millions, and executes them for their myriad crimes and corruption.
We ain’t gonna get there without crushing military defeat, hundreds of thousands of maimed and crippled NATO personnel clogging up the healthcare system, and the Deplorables in the military finally beginning to do to their “leaders” exactly what the Czar’s forces began to do to their officers in 1917 – spontaneously shooting them in the face when they started running their mouths.
Sadly (for me) none of this will happen. Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria have proven beyond all doubt that NATO is all hat, no cowboy, and the Western elites know this.
Yeah, Mara is about to find out playing Rambo is for the young. If you can’t pull your weight, you’re dead weight and a nuisance to others. “Your weight” in this case usually consists of an 80 pound rucksack, you rifle and ammo, extra ammo for other weapons. Etc, lots of etc. The first thing she’s gonna learn to use is a shovel, and she will become intimate with that piece of equipment. No way anybody is going to walk in front of her either. My guess is that after the photo ops is done, Mara will go back to her cats and boxed wine.
Watching her training movement suggests to me she won’t be “fighting” for long. As mentioned above … tank lube. She best stay home in her lovely kitchen and cook up some biscuits for the Russian Army.
Its nice to have somebody expendable on point in the platoon. I’m guessing she is going to end up leading a lot.
Or once.
Anyone looking forward to $200 oil UNLESS Iran gets nukes? Biden, those pulling strings in his administration and their global elite EU counterparts are traitors to humanity. Disgusting no-win chess. Is it Mate in one move or three?
Is Martha single? Asking for a friend.
I really think Biden is the wildcard in all of this. The disastrous exit from Afghanistan demonstrated that his staff will facilitate any idiotic idea he comes up with.
roaddog, I find this mildly interesting. Maybe they should contact the Afghans and ask just how they fought the massive Russian army to a standstill after 15 years, and then had the Americans embarrass themselves after wasting 20 years, and thousands of lives, and leaving over 82 billion dollars worth of hardware behind. Massive force apparently does not always carry the day.
I say this to all those who love freedom. No government can successfully take your freedom if you are willing to give your all to keep it. Canadians should think about that.
Couldn’t agree more with you VOWG. History has proven through the ages that an invading or occupying force cannot win for long against a dedicated guerrilla force. When the American Revolution began it was a ragtag bunch of deplorables that decided to stand against the most powerful army in the world. The Afghanistan withdrawal by both Russia and America is the latest example of this. Armies can kill people on the orders issued by governments but Armies and governments can not kill or eradicate an idea or ideal. If you want further proof of this you need look no further than the thousands of dedicated Islamists that have committed murder and mayhem in the last few years alone. Look how our own society has changed to accommodate the ever present threat that Islamic fundamentalists present. The American Minutemen, the Free French and now the Truckers Convoy are examples that should be studied more fully by politicians and generals that think they can rule by force.
Government does what government does, most time it’s nonsense. Ottawa’s city government wants all the trucks to leave town, so tonight the police stole a whole bunch of fuel from the protestors. Because obviously trucks whose fuel tanks are empty can start right up and leave.
You couldn’t make this up…unless you worked for the government.
I think there is a huge schism between Western cultures ruled by the “Why can’t we all just learn to get along” ethos, and Afghani culture which thrives on “I will kick your ass because that is what we have been doing here for 2,000 years,” that Western governments and warriors simply cannot reconcile. Tribal wars are just way too far outside of our realm of understanding.
If Putin invaded Canada I’d be on the highway with maps and flowers.
