Those photographs of the trucker protestors are wonderful.

I totally concur…fabulous shots.
The lighting is excellent…as is the framing.
Putin needed a fast war. It’s not happening. What are the odds he dies of suicide via 3 bullets to the back of the head?
Not very good. How do you know it will not be a fast war? It’s only been on for 2 days.
No air superiority after 72 hours for one.
Definite air superiority, you’re confusing air superiority with complete air control. They have the former but not the latter.
But they haven’t. Ukranian fighters and choppers are still active. The air is also deadly to Russian assets from the ground.
Zero.

Although the results of the invasion are, for now, humiliating to the Pootinista junta, they are nowhere near critical enough. It is very far from over. The situation is very fluid and Ukrainians remain in desperate straights. Just because about 3.5K Siberian Mongols have already been made good, it does not mean that there isn’t more when this horde came from.
But the situation is potentially developing into a … quagmire!!!! Remember that word? Pootin fucked up. He seems to have believed his own propaganda and greatly underestimated how much everything Siberian Mongol is hated among the freedom loving Ukrainians. So he overextended. This is now turning into a war of attrition that he cannot afford indefinitely. And Ukrainians are not going to fold, they know the history of psychotic Mongol brutality. They realize that folding means gulag and subjugation if not extermination.
Ruski korabl, idi nahuj!

Trudeau flees Ottawa, for security reasons

Zelensky refuses to flee Kiev, saying “I need ammunition, not a ride”
https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/26/europe/ukraine-zelensky-evacuation-intl/index.html
For once it was Justin who did the sensible thing. If he had departed, and not resisted a peaceful transition, that would have been the best for all concerned.
Zelensky is indeed serious about fighting to the bitter end.
Why? He has to. He has nowhere to go. Naftali Bennett correctly understood that the little kapo was poison and refused to give him asylum. Israel isn’t actually a Costa del Crime for Jewish globalists.
Zelensky’s only realistic chance to save his own skin now is to spill as much blood as possible, Ukrainian and Russian, in the hope of convincing Putin to agree to a ceasefire that keeps Zelensky in power.
To do that, he’s ordered that nobody of any possible use as cannon fodder be permitted to escape Ukraine while the outcome of the war is at all in doubt.
Nazi gangs are ordering loving fathers out of cars and busses bound west and making them choose between putting on a uniform or having their brains blown out in front of their children.
And the hacks have the gall to pass him off as a latter-day Ben Gurion. Jim Jones is more like it, forcing Lesser Russians to commit revolutionary suicide with him just so he can escape earthly justice.
God will judge Zelensky either way. He won’t be as kind as the globalist press.
Provide evidence for your statements. Some are clearly lies: Zelensky was offered escape from Ukraine but refused.
Everything he says is lies. He just keeps regurgitating Kremlin propaganda.
Actually, I want Awful Truth to continue posting. His posts are so ludicrous, they come off as unintended self-parody. He unintentionally is supporting Eastern European democracy. So TAT, keep posting!
OK, good to know, thanks
How is the view from your FSB cubicle?
Nobody believes this BS.
The various satraps of the Empire of Lies have finally agreed to expel Russian banks from the SWIFT payment system. The most important effect of this outside Russia will be to make it impossible to buy Russian oil and gas.
By declaring financial war on Russia, the Empire signed the death warrant of European industry.
By all accounts Berlin understood this and resisted as long as they could. Chrystia Donaldovna eventually convinced her German friends that letting ordinary Germans starve and freeze in the dark was a small price to pay not to die in a Russian prison.

“The various satraps of the Empire of Lies have finally agreed to expel Russian banks from the SWIFT payment system. ”
Good, the only two things Siberian Mongols have that anyone wants are guns and oil/gas. Now they can’t sell either. Let them eat each other.
“The most important effect of this outside Russia will be to make it impossible to buy Russian oil and gas.”
Even better, civilized world now has no choice but to suppress Kremlin financed watermelons and extract their own resources. There will be some brief turmoil but the net result will be a booming energy sector in Europe. Thank you heroic Ukrainian freedom fighters.

That’s just one, and I could go all day and fill this post up with women and children the ” good guys” vaporized, shot, burned or otherwise delivered to the eternal veil.
It’s going to really screw the English. The Rooskie oligarch monsters have been laundering their kleptobillions through UK banks via SWIFT transfers for ages. Buying massively overpriced London (not Ontario) property and sending their spawn to the ‘best’ UK schools. All while diverting millions to build yachts that DiCaprio would envy.
I imagine that the only thing that will really hurt Putin will be the seizure and halt to purchasing of Russian hydrocarbons. That would almost certainly kick off WWIII.

Holy cats! Sam Peckinpaw directed Convoy. Who knew.
I found Convoy to be rather disappointing. Peckinpah’s peak came with The Wild Bunch. He was disparaged by critics for the depiction of violence and many of his movies after that were rather limp.
Channel surfed onto the hard-left MSNBC news network, with host Ali Velshi just now. He was describing a Russian missile hit on a large apartment building. He ssid:
“Fortunately there were no reported casualties, although several people were wounded”.
Mr. Vellshi is considered as one of MSNBC’s senior hosts.
I’m glad you watched it so that I wouldn’t have to. What an ignoramus. But he’s probably the brightest of the bunch. No wonder more democrats watch Fox than either CNN or MSNBC.
BIG QUESTION…
Where is the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS the United States is printing and going to?
On top of this the TRILLIONS UPON TRILLIONS of loan guarantees put out by the banks?
Bankruptcy is inevitable and it’s going to be UGLY!
As it also takes down many trough feeders drawing from it including Canada as we’re all part of the same system.
The one that currently protects bankers and politicians.
The US economy is no longer expanding naturally (by making things etc) so it has to be expanded artificially by money printing. The only way it will end is if other countries (most notably India, China and Russia) decide to go off the US dollar. I just can’t see that happening for now. Every time there is a hint of trouble the USD goes up.
The only alternative is to continue expanding the economy by printing money until it starts to grow naturally again. I can’t see that happening either (due to demographics, loss of manufacturing, transition to a services economy and continued globalization) but if it did the US could back off on the money printing and start clawing back the dough slowly. Either way, big inflation is here for awhile and the US economy is headed for the toilet.
Hope our Dear Leader has a safe haven away from all the peaceful protesters. Not sure how much fair publicity our all powerful media will be reporting.

A lot of “end of mankind” movies are written along the same plot lines.
What could go wrong indeed!

“I also remember the first time I voted Republican. I want you to know that, that was tougher emotionally than the first time I ate ham. I thought I was betraying everything good that I had ever learned. I had gone over to the dark side by voting Republican.”…Dennis Prager on convincing disgruntled Democrats to take that final step and vote Republican.
