    1. Careful.
      Brings to mind E. Jean Carroll.
      No interactions or comments, especially those referring to the microphallus situation.

    1. The Domino Theory is no more applicable today in Ukraine than it was in southeast Asia in 1969.

      1. If you think Ruϟϟischeschweinen expansionism is limited to Ukraine, you’re either ill-informed or deceiving yourself.

        1. What’s with your ridiculous repetitive spelling tic. Serious people don’t use cutesy, aren’t I ever so droll, language.

          1. Suggest a term that fits the present ideology in Russia better than “russischeschweinism” and I will consider using it.

          2. Sure: how about despicable Russian ideology or evil Russian ideology or me-no-like Russian ideology. It’s called plain English.

    2. Doug Murray gets some of it and goes astray on some of it.

      I can sense a sputterstorm coming; I hope it doesn’t reach hurricane force levels.

      1. “Doug Murray gets some of it and goes astray on some of it.”

        Yeah, I normally like his take on most things but he is way off base on this.

  1. Biden’s endless wars…Ukraine edition.

    “It is clear that the U.S. and its allies were out to sabotage possibilities for peace immediately after the Russian invasion. Were it not for their interference, the current war could have ended in early March 2022—about a week after it started. Thanks to Arakhamia, we now have confirmation of this fact.

    He was at the talks in Belarus and said the Russians would halt the invasion and leave Ukraine if there was agreement on Ukrainian military neutrality and its leaders gave up on NATO membership.”

    1. “But I’ve been told by the smartest truck driver on these boards there was no voter fraud. And if there was, it was all on the extreme right…”

      I look forward to his mental gymnastics when some of the investigations forbidden in 2020 are finally initiated.
      Should be fun.

  2. Bird flu is taking it’s toll. Wiping out egg production. I heard a gal on the radio say eggs are $13/doz in Denver. I dunno?

    Avian influenza is endemic in dairy cows. How much longer before it becomes a problem that can’t be ignored?

    The US getting rid of their scientists might come back to bite.

      1. Nothing Potemkin about them. They found a beautiful piece of farmland to buy and are rapidly building a mixed farm. I actually prefer Moscow.

          1. So you haven”t watched any of their videos then, have you.
            By the way – the Russian swear word that you were attempting there is properly transliterated as “sooka”.

          2. It is spelled cyka in Internet slang.

            The useful idiots and their Potemkin Pallwood production are a perfect propaganda tool to be spread by traitors like you. If the parents haven’t been stripped of their citizenship they should. They also belong in prison for child abuse as taking their children to russia clearly qualifies as such.

  3. Perhaps one of the war experts can explain the contents of this article.

    https://newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/france-and-germany-blocking-20-billion-package-1740237292.html

    The EU is proposing a large support package to Ukraine ($20 billion Euros). The money is earmarked for ammunition, air defense and soldier training (i.e., a war). But Germany and France are fighting the package.

    Then this …

    “France and Germany. Both countries are heavily indebted and have little room for maneuver in their national budgets. In addition, both French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni insist on Europe’s leading role in negotiations with Washington. But the actions of Kallas [VP of the European Commission] and the EU cast doubt on this claim.”

    Germany and France would rather fight the deficit than the Russians? Then this gem …

    “Kallas’s entourage is trying to smooth things over. Meanwhile, Germany will hold elections on Sunday, and the German government cannot make decisions over the weekend.”

    The Germans don’t work over the weekend? What would happen if they were at war? Or making decisions about war in other countries? And this …

    “Meloni [Italy’s Prime Minister] has already criticized the meeting in Paris called by Macron. Also, according to the Financial Times, Meloni opposes the G7 conference call on Monday. Apparently, she does not want to upset Trump. Macron, for his part, reassured the alienated small states at a special conference and now wants to go to Washington to talk to Trump.”

    If I didn’t know better I would think that Trump did an end-run around Europe and they are scrambling, but they aren’t willing to take the lead against Russia (militarily and financially). Trump knew this already so he’s about 6 days ahead of Macron who will likely pull a Trudeau with his Trump meeting (lick Trump’s bum and then go back to France and talk tough).
