  1. We Americans do not understand central and eastern Europe

    USA Inc. has an empire to run. No time, need, or interest for “understanding”

      1. How many Ukrainians have to die to appease CIA and NATO and the MIC. Under the butcher Zelinsky the Billionaire Coke Head the Ukrainian’s have 500,000 KIA and casualties.
        Wake up.

  2. They are rapidly losing that Empire.

    I wonder if Russia, China and Iran are getting ready to announce a new version of the Warsaw Pact: an attack on one is an attack on all. Wouldn’t that shut down US hegemony in a heartbeat.

  3. Yup, some MENTAL cases that post in here do not understand the dynamics that effect eastern europe, or any of the rest of the world. STUPID reins supreme in here, and amongst most of the right wing blogs/outlets!

    1. You do realize that most of the people who comment here have multiple degrees, right? This is one of the most erudite groups of commenters in Canada. A little short on Women’s Studies majors, but otherwise quite a collection of advanced degrees and practical knowledge.

      Still, the IQ average would increase a couple points if you went somewhere else to complain.

      2. Panty Boi
        I’v worked with a few PHD’s, about 25 of them, and many are as stupid as the day is long.
        As to you, when posting about things pertinent to your “work”, you are good, otherwise, often you are full of schitt, glory posting.
        As to cgh, he’s good on tech stuff, but when he veers out of his lane, not so much.
        Panty Boi, I’v had several PHD’s defer to my expertise, because of my experience. That says a lot about their “education”
        As to you, you try to look informed, like when you whined about the trucker not raising his wheels, when he had NO wheels to be raised. Ooz was a great example on knowing things that are not so, and you have also had a few of such moments, so now GFYS, and have a great day.
        I stand by my post!!!!

        1. ” I’v (sic) had several PHD’s defer to my expertise” — too funny! What ” expertise” exactly? Perhaps these would be the ones as “stupid as the day is long.”
          I think many people here are quite smart– whether or not they have advanced degrees. I am not sure what you hope to accomplish by insulting people. It’s offensive and of course will only make people hostile to what you have to say.

          1. “I think many people here are quite smart– whether or not they have advanced degrees. ”

            There is really no correlation. Your experience has probably been much like mine, in that I have met several people over the years who were highly ‘educated’, yet dumb as a post in their understanding of the realities of everyday life.

            There is (or was?) a gorilla somewhere down south that is ‘educated’ enough to know sign language, and has a vocabulary of 2000 words. I wouldn’t let it do my taxes or work on my car, though.

        2. Remember the word “ultracrepidarian”

          “adjective
          noting or pertaining to a person who criticizes, judges, or gives advice outside the area of his or her expertise:
          The play provides a classic, simplistic portrayal of an ultracrepidarian mother-in-law.
          noun
          an ultracrepidarian person.”

          https://www.dictionary.com/browse/ultracrepidarian

        3. Yeah. We see guys like you here all the time. It’s a bit tiresome. And as is usually the case, I see you have memory problems.

          I recall that the post was about traffic circles, and why they suck for Canadian roads. The reason is long, heavy trucks.

          If you try to drive the dump truck full of stone around the too-small traffic circle with the extra wheels down, they scrub. The truck is long, the turning radius is centered on the main wheels. Geometry, baby. That’s why the extra wheels go up and down in the first place. Otherwise the truck would have to be multi-wheel steering like a cement truck, or a crane truck.

          If you lift the wheels, you’re over weight on the ones that are left, which rips up the road and your company gets a fine. So they cut the corner and scrub across the bricks. That’s why there are scrub marks on the traffic circles, Gym. Which is why traffic circles are a bad idea in Canada. Many, many long trucks.

          And no, I am not a trucker. Never been one. But I did do geometry in kiddie school, and I have seen a dump truck scrub his extra wheels. Then there’s the scrub marks around the traffic circles… like in the picture that came with that post…

          So are we experts on the war in Ukraine? No. But do we know bullroar when we see it? I think so, and we are seeing an awful lot of it from our government around this war. No surprise, since they were installed by the Chicoms.

          Did you notice Shiny Pony is going to buy the F-35 despite swearing he wasn’t going to buy it? It makes him look like an idiot. Why do you think he did that? Probably thinks he’s going to need the F-35, Gym. I don’t think that’s a good sign for my peaceful retirement.

    3. Why Devon, Thanks for the mighty kind words to all of us here at SDA.

      You do know you don’t have to visit here if you don’t wish too……don’t you?

    4. I’d like to see your evidence that everyone who post at SDA is white, but really now, name one post from the “conspiracy theorists” that you’ve seen here that proved to be factually wrong? Just one! I’m waiting…

      So you can run along with your friends Unme and Allan S, and grab that 17th booster.

    5. Some mental cases should look up homophones like “effect and affect” or “reins and reigns” before commenting about stupidity

  4. Yeah, I personally noticed this when Clinton went into Yugoslavia. Sure, it was genocide etc but there’s a huge tug-of-war and lots of issues in Central-East Europe, and for at least the last 500 years. Going in with “swift intervention” and “UN Peace Corps” etc did not solve long-simmering problems.
    What’s worse now is that Ukraine war + Poland, Moldavia/Romania etc are right at the border with Russia. And everyone, from up-North Norway/Finland to down-South Turkey – everyone knows very well how ‘friendly’ Russians can be. Every country along that fluid border has some bad history with Russia, some nation-wide PTSD re Russians. Which is a whole new set of issues on top of the other issues specific to Central-East Europe. Meanwhile things are escalating, China is in the mix, Iran as well.

  5. The reason for supporting Ukraine is not because Ukraine is a wonderful county, but because doing so is the best way to protect NATO. The longer this thing drags out, the clearer the message is to Russians: “You are not the superpower you think you are.”

      4. I’m going to say 100x – 1000x worse than Afghanistan if they don’t start pushing for a negotiated settlement.
        On Iran, Israel is winding up for a big punch.

      6. The longer this thing drags out, the bigger the risk we find ourselves in an escalation resulting in a nuclear exchange.

      7. I think that you mean Russia will realise the futility of their invasion and retreat just like the Americans did in Afghanistan.

        2. “Do you mean Afghanistan of the 1980s that contributed to the breakup of the USSR?”

          LOL…figures that you would pick the least important factor, but still consider it to be a clever response.

          (oh, and the Ukraine conflict is nowhere near the same situation, sorry…)

    2. The problem is, if Europe pushes them hard enough, they’ll get better at it. they’ll stop jerking around and start working at it. As much as everybody hates the Russians, the Russians hate them back.

      And the rest of Europe is a house of cards. Anybody think Italy would last five minutes? How about Greece? Denmark? Holland? Sweden?

      Canada?

      Nope. Not even five minutes. All of ’em waiting for Uncle Sugar to come and make it alllll better.

      1. All of those militaries would perform better than Russia on a per-soldier basis. And together as NATO, Russia would be utter outclassed. The air dominance alone would be enough.

        1. Marmot, “All of those militaries would perform better than Russia on a per-soldier basis. And together as NATO, Russia would be utter outclassed.”

          Quite so. What the invasion of Ukraine has shown is that the Russian army is just as incompetent and incapable as it was in the invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. What it shows also is that the Soviet military throughout the Cold War was very much a paper tiger incapable of achieving anything. Its equipment was shown to be badly outdated and ineffective throughout a number of proxy wars by various Arab nations against Israel, 1967, 1973, 1981.

          What the invasion of Ukraine has shown is that Russia’s tactics have not changed significantly in more than two centuries: line up as many men as possible and launch a huge frontal attack.

        2. KM, you got nuthin, hahahahahaha. Put your boots on and get the hell over there. Russia been playing with the world.

          1. “Russia been playing with the world.”

            Exactly. The bear has been playing possum. At any moment they’re going to quit goofing around and overrun Ukraine like the tides overruning the Bay of Fundy, using all of these new highly trained and motivated conscripts, or what remains of them.

        3. KM
          The air dominance alone would be enough.
          ________________________________

          Really. Right now Russia is keeps it’s fighters close to home. (Man-pads) can make you think twice.
          Look what is happening to the Russian tanks.

          1. I think if you reflect honestly it is Ukraine who is begging for tanks, airplanes, ammo, people being press ganged into the Ukraine military.
            Ukraine is toast and we all know this is fact

          2. Russia started the war with vastly more equipment than Ukraine, and the only thing that kept Ukraine afloat over the last 8 months is donations from (mostly) NATO countries.

            But now Russia has shown clear signs of being pressed for equipment, including a reduction in artillery firings and the appearance of antiquated equipment, much of it over 50 years old. They have likely lost over half of their operational tanks, and their reserves are large but mostly useless.

            It’s not clear at all how this war is going to turn out.

      2. everybody hates the Russians, the Russians hate them back

        I doubt very much that this is true, on either side.

        It’s true that the Anglo-Yankee Empire, (centred in the City of London, D.C., and Wall Street), certainly hates the Russian government, and hates it for keeping Russian resources out of the plunderer’s hands.

        When Russia was part of the Soviet Union, the Empire got on much better with the Comrade Commissars; the Bolsheviks were the best enemy money could buy.

        1. No, everyone in Eastern Europe pretty much hates the Russians.

          Poland isn’t rearming itself because it likes spending money. Finland isn’t joining NATO because it feels lonely. The Baltics aren’t sending arms to Ukraine because they have too much of the stuff.

    3. USA and Canada have been paying for the EU’s defense for 70 years.
      Cut them loose. The EU has 600M plus people and the 3rd largest economy on earth.
      Stop funding NATO let the EU pay for their own mistakes.

    4. Why protect NATO?
      Its intended function has disappeared.
      It should be closed.
      It is now the aggressor under the sway of neocons and globalists who insist on the continuation of a uni-polar world.
      Putin is the least bad of a bad BAD evil lot.
      Were he alive today JFK would see and understand Putin’s urgent complaint as an analogue to the Cuban missile crisis.
      He negotiated and ended the crisis.
      The US has made no peace offers — and indeed has order Z to make no peace overtures.
      The US W A N T S war with Russia.

    6. “protecting NATO”
      Barf
      Protect the Petro dollar you mean by the wholesale murder of innocents.
      The sooner the West (NATO) goes down, the sooner the world becomes a safer place.

      1. Hopefully when NATO is consigned to the history books, it goes peacefully like the Warsaw Pact in 1989. Because a peaceful collapse of American power and the aftermath thereof is infinitely better than the alternative of having it be incinerated, along with civilization, in a nuclear war.

    7. “the best way to protect NATO” I am beginning to think that the world would be a more peaceful place without NATO. NATO is prolonging the current fiasco, and if it does not stop soon, we will all pay a heavy price– not just the Ukes.

    8. You say that as though NATO is something worth protecting when it is in fact 30 years past it’s expiry date. The only thing that we’ll get if this mess drags out is a nuclear war. You might think that the Ukraine is worth the ruination of civilization, but those of us who aren’t blinded by ideological hatred disagree.

    9. “The reason for supporting Ukraine is not because Ukraine is a wonderful county, but because doing so is the best way to protect NATO. ”

      ‘Supporting’ them by supplying them with more and more weapons (and only weapons) will just get more Ukrainians killed.

      The only real support would be to send in NATO troops. Are you onboard with Canadians fighting AND DYING in Ukraine, then?
      Yes or no? Because the realities of the situation dictate that nothing else will make any difference to the eventual outcome.

      “The longer this thing drags out, the clearer the message is to Russians: “You are not the superpower you think you are.””

      They haven’t been a superpower for decades now.

  6. I think we’re creating a doomsday machine.

    That’s how it looks to THIS sane thinker. And not just on one front. The Marxist utopians who have coopted the word “Democracy” are plotting our destruction on many fronts. Yes, an Eastern European nuclear conflagration, but also a WEF command control collapse of sovereign economies … also a global Warmist take down of our energy independence, and a dissolution of our Judeo-Christian underpinnings.

    I’m not a pessimist … but it feels as though we’re in the grips of an irreversible Western suicide pact.

    1. Kenji, Great comments, “I think we’re creating a doomsday machine.” and “we’re in the grips of an irreversible Western suicide pact.”
      AND…It’s all being done deliberately!

      I’m glad others are noticing it as well, but it’s probably too late to save ourselves now. 🙁

    5. Even despite the fact that the central conspiracy with the snappy slogan YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY was emblazoned on their website until it got too much attention and got scrubbed.

  7. I am not worried about the Russian Army. I am worried about the Russian Strategic Rocket Corps, and a few thousand Russian thermonuclear weapons.

    After a nuclear exchange? The Northern Hemisphere will be missing a few BILLION people, and the 50-100 million survivors will be living shorter, harder lives, probably like our ancestors in the 1800’s.

    1. It’s almost as if that’s what they wanted all along, isn’t it?

      All together now… “It’s PART OF THE PLAN!”

    2. In the 1800’s you could drink the water without glowing in the dark. After an all out nuclear war the only safe water will be that from artesian wells, for a brief period, and the few remaining plastic bottles in those places not turned to ash. No food, no water, no wild game, no forests. What part of thermonuclear war don’t you understand? The lucky ones will be those at ground Zero.

  8. 650 ckom talk radio mentions a poll that majority of people in Canada support Ukraine ! I don’t doubt that, now here is the next question, what are YOU willing to sacrifice to show your support ? How many would drop their weekend planned activities or open their wallet in support of Ukraine ?

    This goes nowhere good and we don’t have the balls to see it through no matter who you think is in the wrong. We have the energy of a death cult narrative and this will touch all of us.

    1. My Father was Finnish. Love for Finland and Hate for the Russians was bred into his bones.

      I support Ukraine, but I think this war was completely avoidable. The war could have been avoided if our US Government would have wanted to prevent the conflict. A simple and clear position that Ukraine would not join NATO until Ukraine, Russia, and Belorussia were all invited and agreed to join NATO at the same time would have reassured Russia. A clear thinking leader like President Trump would have made it clear to Russia that they do not want to invade or dismember Russia, and that they wanted Russia and Ukraine to both become rich by trading with Europe and the rest of the World and trade agreements are better than war.

      1. according to 23andme, I had a Finnish ancestors in the late 1700s. Zero slavic ancestry; zero Scandinavian ancestry. Where in blazes did the Finnish come from. Must have been a shipwrecked sailor in Scotland or something.

      2. Jeez rd, you’ve been eating Truth and Reality bread haven’t you!

        Please ship some up to Canada!

      3. rd … so you mean that Trump likes to placate Dictators? Right? What used to be called “diplomacy” is “kissing up to Dictators” when Trump does it. Even if it resulted in no new wars for 4 years.

        Our Deep State Dept. needs to be completely disbanded

      4. rd
        On the east side of Finland, they are very Russian oriented, as their is a large part of Finland that the USSR occupied after the 39 war, and many past Fins still live there and are friends with the Fins in Finland. My friend lives near the west coast, and they tend to be more Swedish oriented.
        BTW : USSR took 11% of Finland in the 39 war!

        1. Finland was only too happy to become part of the Russian Empire, and get out from under the filthy, stinking Swedes.

          Altogether now, folks, how old are Finland and Norway as countries?

          It’s funny how keen NATO and the Anglos have been in the last 200 years to make new countries out of old ones. But let any of THEIR territories discuss separation or national divorce, and OMFG break out the death squads!

          I am so sick and tired of the West and its never-ending BS.

      5. “The war could have been avoided if our US Government would have wanted to prevent the conflict. ”

        Agreed. All Joe Biden would have needed to do was state the fact that Ukraine does not qualify for NATO membership. He wouldn’t even have need to take a for/against position, just speak the truth. He refused…and the rest was predictable.

        ” A clear thinking leader like President Trump would have made it clear to Russia that they do not want to invade or dismember Russia, ”

        Funny how Putin waited until Trump was gone, right?

    2. I do not think as many support Ukraine as you may think. How many will die for Ukraine if given a choice. Not many. Support is a mile wide and an inch deep

      1. The Regina police barracks is flying the Nazi rag outside it’s main building on dewdney ave.
        Lots of Nazi rags on display in Regina

    3. “650 ckom talk radio mentions a poll that majority of people in Canada support Ukraine !”

      From the latest Leger poll:

      “However, only 33 per cent believe Canada should provide more personnel to train Ukrainian soldiers and just 32 per cent believe more military equipment should be provided.”

  9. From personal experience, it is unwise to add gasoline to a fire already lit. (Yes, one can make dumb mistakes in their youth that one would not make in their elder years). I don’t care which party started the conflict. It is not necessary to add fuel to it from outside. When outside parties get involved, they have an agenda that they want played out that will not necessarily benefit anyone but themselves.

  10. The yanks left trillions of military hardware in Afghanistan.
    Now zelinski wants their tanks, f16’s and how much more.
    Does this not look like someone is trying to set the USA. up to be attacked.
    Old joe is a WEF globalist traitor who’s already sold out to China, Obama is a damn traitor, who imo is still running the show and we have our own globalist WEF traitor in trudope.
    And the money their throwing away is destroying us. Which is just what they’ve been trying to do to bring in the WEF.
    That’s also why they are fighting so hard to destroy trump.
    We better open our eyes quick. Imo!

    2. The vast majority of US equipment sent to Ukraine is outdated. The US has hundreds of F16s in storage that will never be used. M109s are going to be replaced wholesale. The list goes on.

      2. So what you’re saying is that the US government creates “Yard-sale WARS” … to cheaply dispose of all our outdated ordinance? To clean out our proverbial garage and attic? Hundreds of thousands DEAD … so we can upgrade our weaponry … “cheaply”?

        Do you have ANY IDEA how utterly INSANE that sounds? You need a new schtick.

      3. And it would be a better value to chop them all up and sell the bits as scrap. Taxpayers get some of their money back, and the metal goes into something useful, like razor blades and pop cans.

  11. We understand the Russians all too well. They are bullies and butchers and won’t stop until someone stops them. They do not respect weakness. They slaughter weaklings.

    1. We understand the Russians all too well. They are bullies and butchers

      Ahh, so they are homo sapiens. Got it.

    2. Hogwash. The reason the Russians are there is because the Ukrainian’s were allowed to butcher Russian civilians in the Donbas for 8 years. NATO and the UN are guilty. They are criminals.

      1. The Donbas was part of Ukraine. So was Crimea. Russian soldiers took that territory, it was not some organic revolution.

        I remember flight MH-17 and the 298 souls that were killed by a Russian SAM fired by Russian soldiers from the Donbas.

      3. You can look at the way Putin feeds untrained Russian conscripts into the wood chipper and then turn around and pretend Putin gave a single toss for ethnic Russian civilians in the Donbas?

    3. scarp
      Big Euroweeny stated twice now, that they, NATO/Europe, have been at war with Russia since 2014. You are a prime idiot, that I posted about up above.
      And I feel sorry for the Ukrainian common people, who are being killed and loosing everything in this war. It’s a proxy war by the USA against Putin, not even against Russia. Putin, like Trump, is an obstacle for the implementation of the WEF great reset.
      And you , like the COLON and Alla S, are too stupid to grasp that,

    5. “We understand the Russians all too well. They are bullies and butchers and won’t stop until someone stops them.”

      Which no one can do without putting their own troops on the ground inside Ukraine. Are you volunteering?

  12. Yes the Bloodlands have been bloody since the days of the Vikings on the Dnipro.
    Yes there has been foreign intervention in the Bloodlands since the same days.
    Yes those who were once in a position of ascendancy in the Bloodlands have subsequently found themselves in a position of decline and ultimate replacement.
    Spheres of influence come and go.
    It is Russia’s turn to go.

  13. Europe is always at war…somewhere. It is part of the European dynamic. Like corruption in Quebec it is part of their DNA. But this time, at our peril, we should not be dragged into it.

  14. By the time it is over there will just be this little rump around Kiev that is left. Hungary will take back Transcarpathia, Poland will take Galicia the land all the way down to Kiev and Russia will take all the eastern coastal area and Transnistria.
    The CIA started this war in 2014 by murdering Russians in the Donbas for 8 years with Zelinsky and NATO’s approval, training and weapons.
    Ukraine has become a gangster state.

    This is in reality a EU problem. Canada should not be involved at all, EU has 600M people and the 3rd largest economy on earth.
    Let them kill each other.

      1. alla Ass
        And the European fools say you are wrong, that they have been at war with Russia/Putin since 2014, which was/is the starting point of the current conflict.
        You are another prime example of stupidity in here.

  15. Lets not forget that a lot of Europe also hate the US, not to mention Canada. Most Canadia(n)s hate the US until someone’s bouncy castle goes airborne and have to call Uncle Sam to shoot it down.
