The Duran- PUTIN; U.S. must address root causes
Francisco- A lot of people have very strong opinions and feelings about what’s going on here. Which is quite understandable. Having said that, I would ask that you discuss the topic like adults in the comments section. If I have to come back here and babysit the thread there will be a heavy and somewhat indiscriminate hand on the delete button, so fair warning.
Take any position you like, disagree with any position you wish to disagree with but lets keep our emotions on a tight leash.
My position is peace. Everyone’s a dick, find a compromise anyways, period.
As for heated, it’s always the same people posting gibberish and passing it off as insight, but ultimately looking to start trouble. How often do you ever see an apology from anyone once they’ve lost it, again?
Can’t have this conversation without discussing what Ukraine did as Witkoff was leaving Moscow. They purposely timed a drone attack on Moscow just as Witkoff was leaving. The Ukrainian drones are using US software from one of two services (Auterion and Swan). Which means that those drones are likely being controlled by the US Intelligence community contrary to the orders of the President.
I’m guessing there is some serious head hunting going on right now behind the scenes in Washington.
Saw that and it was widely underreported.
Here’s a diversion tactic. Was the US right to fight Communism in Southeast Asia in the 60’s and Central America in the 70’s?
Lee Kwan Yew thought so.
I think the US was right for doing it, but wrong in their “one hand tied behind their back” approach in both scenarios (Korea and Vietnam). China would control the entire Eastern Rim and Australia by now had nothing been done to deter them. Not only did it effect both of those outcomes, but it influenced the efforts going forward. Nowadays, every time a mission is established it gets sent to a cadre of lawyers in the Pentagon to gain legal approval.
War is war. There’s no sense in pretending otherwise (especially at your own expense).
Having lived through the Vietnam era as a youth, let me make the bold claim that EVERYONE … on both sides of the War wanted it to END. My side, at the time, wanted to carpet bomb N.Vietnam back to the Stone Age and END the WAR. The peaceniks wanted unconditional surrender and cessation of the killing.
Well, Nixon ended the War in one of those two ways. Guess which one?
At least the CIA didn’t murder Nixon for his choice. No, they just humiliated him and chased him from office. The CIA got much more sophisticated in their color revolution tactics after they dispatched the Kennedy boys. Me? I grew up and learned that the motive for US wars are never what they seemed. And grew to believe that world peace is far better than continued killing … without a clear purpose or intent. And still … without resolve.
Trump speaks for me on this matter.
China couldn’t even control Vietnam. They fought in 1978 and killed tens of thousands of each other. There was something for involvement but not to stop China, which was never very good at the whole proxy war business.
They would have done better to fight it in the classrooms, especially University ones.
The MIC would disagree, though. No profit in NOT fighting a war.
Hence, here we are.
Good. More please.
“Permanent Peace”
With russia. LOL. Sure let’s knowingly set up false parameters for the discussion from the start.
This is about as laughable as you promising to treat both sides in the debate equally.
The false parameters being to discuss the topic like adults?
“The false parameters being to discuss the topic like adults?”
Seemingly impossible for a couple of people here.
Reminds me of a classic Star Trek episode where Kirk asked Spock how he knew that the ‘other’ Kirk was an imposter….Spock’s answer was that it was easier for a civilized man to act like a barbarian than for a barbarian to act like a civilzed man. We see that here almost every day, sadly…
“Mirror, Mirror”
This says it all and never gets old:
https://x.com/MisbehavinMR/status/1900437916276461900
The premise of the thread is that the victim has to behave a civilized way towards the rapist that raped her.
Muscovy delenda est.
Which is why Russia ( the ACTUAL victim) is setting the parameters.
Causality isn’t your strong suit, is it?
“Which is why Russia ( the ACTUAL victim) is setting the parameters.”
Well, that plus the fact that they are winning. The winners usually set the terms of the ceasefire or peace agreement, not the losers.
So then … you didn’t listen to this discussion during which it was established that Ukraine has broken as many cease fires as Putin. Oh well, some people refuse to learn. And those who refuse to learn about history are destined to repeat it … with more piles of dead bodies,
Psssst … and you also missed the part where Russia is WINNING … and getting STRONGER in their reclamation of Russian territory.
“you didn’t listen to this discussion during which it was established that Ukraine has broken as many cease fires as Putin. ”
That never happened.
“you also missed the part where Russia is WINNING”
No he didn’t, you’re still just misinformed and stupid. The Russians have retreated in and maybe from Toretsk, have faltered and fallen back around Pokrovsk, and only just took back most but not all of Kursk.
Wow … your cognitive dissonance on full display. aka mentally ill.
The discussion is performed by a pair of pro ork useful idiot propagandists with no integrity and listened to by even more useful idiots who are fed what they want to hear. The last international treaty that russia honored was signed by Ribbentrop and Molotov.
They honored Minsk.
But that doesn’t support your ignorant rants, so you avoid any mention of facts.
Russia violated (among others):
UN Charter 45
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty 70
Helsinki Accords 75
Belovezha Accords 91–92
Budapest Memo 94
Black Sea Fleet Treaty 97
Friendship Treaty 98
Treaty on Azov Sea & Kerch Strait ‘03
Karkiv pact ‘10
There is no point to trust ork word on anything other than their desire to slaughter, rape and pillage the civilized.
The war must end. The killing must stop.
More importantly future russian aggression needs to be prevented. Otherwise any stop will be a temporary pause.
But nothing said about Azov aggression. Telling.
What Azov aggression? Azov does God’s work turning bad russians into good russians.
Compromise is almost always effective as a means of settling these problems. The difficulty is, when one side “starts something” and the other demands a cease-fire, is the line at the half ways point? Or where the original kurfuffle started? Or along historical lines?
Will the new line of demarcation be on the original border? Which “original border”?
What if the gazan affair is settled by drawing a line 10 miles south into gaza? The gazans can’t be trusted with having water pipes installed, as they’ve made them into basic missiles and not with digging tools either as they’ve built tunnels to keep civilians kidnapped for +500 days, and build missiles there.
Will the likes of Victoria Nuland be on trial? Will the Russians bring proof of biolabs to the negotiations?
Why is it acceptable for Finland to be part of NATO and not Ukraine? There’s more than one side to this, and without opening up all of Ukraine’s nazi past, why would only Russia have to pay the consequences in a peace settlement? Sure Ukraine is smashed, but should all nazi supportive countries be smashed?
I think Kaliningrad should be given to Poland, they were attacked by both sides in WW2. Is there a limit on how far back we’ll go? Am I going to bring up The Winter War, and the War of Continuation…?
Ukrainian nazi anything is a useless smokescreen and a false argument. Ukrainians are not fighting for nazism. Besides as it has been established on multiple occasions russians are worse than Nazis.
A thinking person may see that I’ve blamed both sides.
A survey of those killed by communists vs those killed by nazis shows a decided tilt to the communists, not that I was weighing these 2 sides, you’ve simply decided to take one comment and make your statement.
I expect better of your commentaries, but am not willing to “get into it with you” over this as Fransisco has plainly stated above in his post.
I addressed one part of your post. I did not realize I am required to address all parts. Blaming both sides is the problem. The blame is 100% russia.
Established by who?
Got any proof?
Or just are you just making more declarations of your opinion, as worthless as it is??
Nazis worship Hitler.
Russians worship Stalin
Stalin killed more people than Hitler.
Stalin killed more russians than Hitler.
Ergo russians are worse than Nazis.
Thus concludes the lesson.
I wouldn’t use the word “worship” to describe how Russians felt about Stalin.
That could be the weakest link in your chain.
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but I am under the impression that Russians in the old Soviet Union really didn’t have a choice as to who would lead their country.

Pick any year, orks love their tyrants and despise those that give them a degree of freedom. When a Tsar was humane they killed him. When Yeltsin gave them the most individual freedom they ever had, they hated him for it. The horde will be whipped, the horde will be pathologically aggressive, the horde will rape, murder and pillage, the horde will never be free.
Putin will be taking any US proposals with a grain of salt. He’ll play along for a while.
Forgive me for asking … but if Putin is insisting the BRICS representatives be part of any peace talks … then WHERE are the Europeans? Aren’t they the only ones FUNDING the war now? If BRIC nations are funding Putin’s side in the war … then shouldn’t Starmer, Macron … and whomever is in charge of Germany’s socialist coalition Party be part of these talks?
Asking for someone who chooses PEACE over more piles of dead bodies … and someone who fully understands that Russia has WON … Won the territory they were invited to take as a “minor incursion” into Ukraine. Thank you for so eloquently parsing that phrase Jake Sullivan.
And where’s Brussels? What are they doing? Issuing more missives about thought crimes against the LGBTQueers? Issuing more missives about thought crimes against a certain protected religion? Issuing missives about legalizing marriage between 45 yo men and 11yo Nieces?
Kenji, my friend, there is little to be gained by making arguments to these individuals, because their decisions are based on emotions, and not reality. They still perceive Russia to be synonymous with the USSR, and still bent on establishing a communist state world-wide. Those were true in the past, but that changed in ’91. And nothing will change their minds until that world view is changed.
I’m not saying it’s not hard to make the change. I hated Russia and the USSR with a passion. I remember watching the first two shifts against the Russians in 72, and we all took our bets and put a “1” in front of the Canadian score. Then we sat back in shock as the Russians won 7-3. One of my life’s greatest moments was when Henderson scored; I was at Upper Canada College in Toronto, and we ran out to the front steps and saw all the traffic stopped down on Avenue Road, with people getting out of their cars, shouting, jumping, and embracing. We had beaten the Russians!
But that all changed when Ronnie put the pedal to the military metal, and Gorby realized that the dream of worldwide socialist ideal just wasn’t going to cut it. Even Deng Xiaoping had seen the writing on the wall with his ‘black cat/white cat’ theory. So Gorby tried to turn the breakup of the USSR into a big new trading bloc with more trade and integration with the West. Unfortunately, he was rejected in favour of Boris Yeltsin, a lovable alky who guzzled while the State was looted.
After the expulsion of the looters in Russia, Putin has helped transform it from a broken socialist state into a modern industrial one. Meanwhile, it seems the expelled looters flocked to Ukraine, which was regularly called the most corrupt state in Europe in the early 2000s. The US fostered a coup in Ukraine, where they installed their own puppet as president. Anyone who doubts this is sentenced to listen to Victoria Nuland, underthingy of State during her famous ‘F*ck the E.U.” call for a new prez saying “Yats[enyuk] is our man”. When I heard that, it confirmed without a doubt that NATO is a beast with a mind and purpose all its own, and one which we as citizens have never once voted for, or questioned.
This isn’t an easy change of mind to make. It means rejecting the institutions – like the FBI and the DoJ in the US, and our own Parliament and RCMP – that I believed in so fervently. So you need to be patient and understanding. It is very wrenching for some to do this. Cheers!
Ukraine has very little leverage.
The U.S. has a lot of leverage, and it should be used. It also has a lot of opportunity.
The offer should be very simple. Russia will leave Ukraine entirely. Ukraine will join NATO. Ukraine will re-arm. Russia will agree to respect Ukrainian sovereignty.
In exchange, the U.S. will not crush Russia’s economy by pushing oil, gas, and grain prices into the basement for decades. The U.S. will also proceed with a 10 year plan to leave NATO.
This give Europe plenty of time to bolster it’s defenses. It gives Ukraine NATO security. It gives Europe a higher degree of autonomy. It frees the U.S. to focus on the western hemisphere and Pacific.
Grey
Maybe you should start living in the real world, as none of what you state will happen, Putin will not accept such foolishness, and he is in the drivers seat.
He’s ‘driving’ Russia to destruction. That country is cooked.
I thought you said it was Trump driving the USA to ruin?
Make up the mush that passes for your mind.
False dichotomy. Do you need to have it explained why?
Tyrants can’t be reasoned with (nor Trump haters). They must be stopped; they will not stop themselves.
Putin’s ridiculous “counteroffer” is just another example. Give me my gains and I’ll go home and rearm.
Nope, nada, nyet. Now Trump can apply the screws, with his lethal lesson given via the Houthis and Hamas.
Trump tantrums notwithstanding, hoping he’ll go away, the left reduced to judges pushing 80:20 dystopia, The Telegraph asking Americans if they regret their vote, Canadians hoping Americans will back their play.
Nope, nada, nyet. Trump will do what he wants; Putin and the progressive patsies can’t stop him.
Wow. Dude. Russia has WON.
Sorry Duane, but I’ve got an appointment back on the Planet earth. If you want to steer Ukraine into the oncoming headlights of the Russian War machine … have at it … but I prefer the planet earth. Peaceful, and without psychopaths turning it to ruin.

“Wow. Dude. Russia has WON. ”
Imagine being this stupid and wantonly delusional.
“Wow. Dude. Russia has WON. ”
Imagine being this stupid and wantonly delusional.”
(says everyone who has ever read one of your posts…)
Well, that’s the Neocon, delusional state of the world. Reality is different, far different.
-Russia will retain the territories they lay claim too. Why? Azov Nazis genociding 14,000 residents of Russian descent. Go ahead, force them out. 3 years later, the Russians retain, and advance the line.
-NATO? Are you high? Root cause of this skirmish. Russia’s red line. Fugeddaboudit.
-Trump ran on ending this, not prolonging it, or growing it bigger. You’re not paying attention.
-The US does not have endless reserves of Oil&Gas, despite claims of self-reliance. Therefore your idea of driving those prices to the floor, is not possible. If it were, the damage to all oil producers, including the US and Canada, would be terrible collateral damage. And, Russia would still endure this and survive, thanks.
-The US will leave NATO, but it might be 6 days, weeks or months away. Not 10 years. It’s beyond its best before date.
Russia holds ALL the cards. Continuing this skirmish will continue to reduce Ukrainian population, 2,500 per week into the meat grinder. Funny how the pro-Uke Neocon crowd cheers on the deaths of endless numbers of Ukrainians.
Your idea is nonsense, fever dreams. Neocons think similarly. FYI, Nuclear war is not survivable.
Do I like Putin? Really, I don’t care. I just see a pointless war action that the West has no business being involved in with the affairs of either side. I just see mass stupidity on the side of Ukraine, much like Canada today, and it’s stupid “war” on the US, that it can’t help but lose, by a simple mismatch in the size and scope of the opponent.
FAFO. It’s applicable to Ukraine, and Canaderp.
Why would you go on the internet and lie like that?
Because Dan happens to be right.
No he isn’t he mostly regurgitated lies that have been refuted for years.
More projection, UnReal?
Speaking truth to the Uns is not allowed?
Thank you for injecting some realism into the Ukraine/Russian Federation commentary on this site, DanBC. The level of commentary from the usual suspects ….
“The offer should be very simple. Russia will leave Ukraine entirely. Ukraine will join NATO. Ukraine will re-arm. Russia will agree to respect Ukrainian sovereignty.”
Pure fantasy…and not just because Ukraine doesn’t come anywhere near qualifying for NATO membership.
“In exchange, the U.S. will not crush Russia’s economy by pushing oil, gas, and grain prices into the basement for decades. The U.S. will also proceed with a 10 year plan to leave NATO.”
Still more fantasy (except for the part about leaving NATO). Why would the US even consider taking such aggressive action against Russia? What’s in it for them?
Nations don’t have friends….they have interests.
The interest for the U.S. is avoiding a nuclear exchange with an increasingly unstable former superpower who has more warheads and proven launch systems.
The U.S. and Russia can and will destroy each other if it comes to open warfare. Russia’s conventional forces are no match for the United States, so there is a good chance that they will launch if they feel like they are going to lose. So, it is imperative that a shooting war does not break out. Economic activity, however, is not warfare. If anything, the U.S. has allowed Russia room in the marketplace, which we could dominate if we choose. This allows the U.S. to use trade and economic prosperity or ruin as a stick and carrot.
Russia cannot beat European conventional forces, either. Europe has enough of their own nuclear weapons to deter Russia.
“So, it is imperative that a shooting war does not break out. Economic activity, however, is not warfare. If anything, the U.S. has allowed Russia room in the marketplace, which we could dominate if we choose. This allows the U.S. to use trade and economic prosperity or ruin as a stick and carrot.”
And allows Russia to claim that the USA trying to destroy Russia’s economy is an act of war….so either way, they end up in combat and risk nuclear escalation.
Again: not happening. There is nothing in it for the Americans (who are well aware, by this point, that it was they who provoked this conflict in the first place) except war and death.
The U.S. has NO economic leverage, without turning up the printing presses on the money farm from 11 to 15.
THREE years of “economic sanctions” have propelled Russia to #4 on the IMF economy lists.
Another decade of sanctions will push them to #2 (Nobody will take #1 from China, unless India leverages Russian mineral wealth), and complete the pauperising of the North American taxpayer.
The ONLY opportunity the U.S. has, is to pull out of NATO, cut spending across the board in half, and maybe salvage something from the Democrat created wreckage that is the U.S. economy.
“THREE years of “economic sanctions” have propelled Russia to #4 on the IMF economy lists.
Another decade of sanctions will push them to #2 ”
ROTFLMAO
IMF restates official rosstat data, completely meaningless and unverifiable. Besides do you know how GDP is calculated?
Nothing has changed.. NATO is still bloated and unable to offer direct military intervention without dragging 30 other countries into it.. Ukraine doesn’t need money and weapons.. It needs 250 000 soldiers to beat the Russians at its own game.. Problem is none exist without flirting with WW3..
The Banderites got 250,000 extra men.
The “nuance” is they’re in Poland, Germany, Canada, etc., getting a cheque aand they don’t want to go back.
Yet.
Maybe after the Bandoes are flushed out in a year or so.
Something else that hasn’t changed is NATO minus the US can do nothing, they could put at best two divisions into the fray with limited interoperability, if the Russians decide to carry on they’l be stacking Brits, Germans and Frogs in short order, what then, and to what purpose? NATO minus the US is a bureaucracy, with no troops, weapons or backbone.
“NATO minus the US is a bureaucracy, with no troops, weapons or backbone.”
Well said, Peter. Part of me kinda wants to see them try and fight the Russians themselves.
(then the rational adult in me quickly quashes that wish…)
Agreed with both you and Peter. Past offenses and who did what no longer matter. The only important thing is that only the US has leverage here, and that the important thing is to put an end to the fighting. Ukraine cannot win, and Europe cannot prevent them from being destroyed.
“Agreed with both you and Peter. Past offenses and who did what no longer matter. ”
Absolutely, and we only need to look as far as Gaza and the West Bank to see how well that kind of thinking works out.
Two divisions? LOL, Poland alone has three mechanized divisions ready, one under reformation, (two more will be in reserve training to be mobilized in case of war) plus multiple independent brigades including paras and air cav and territorial defense forces.
Pffft, is not a coalition or group of EU or West Countries that can mount an offensive (meaning men and materials and ammo) to challenge Russia WITHOUT USA backing. USA with reason, doesn’t want to bankrupt itself when others just want a USA umbrella.
Korea/China/Russia who have all maintained or improved their military, versus the WOKE west which has been focused on Gay Parades.
As a Canuck, better keep USA onside, however we do so, because, EU and woke crew over there is at serious risk…which they have done to themselves.
Can has essentially no military force of consequence, 2 Russian Divisions would take us out in a heartbeat without USA deterence.
Gonna get interesting, and the fags and EU socialists gonna find out……no one cares about your words or feelings. New world is a coming…not an IF, just a when??
How many Ukes speak russian as their 1st language, a third, half? They all have relatives on both sides. Historically Kiev and Moscow are tied together like a team of horses. The point being these are two closely integrated societies and have been for a thousand years. Russia tho has dominated the Ukraine. The 2 tribes hate each other.
Russia was supposed to win this thing on a weekend road trip. Three years in and they are barely back to where they started in Kursk. Be that as it may the bottom line is this war has extracted a very heavy toll on both sides.
The Ukes will probably be forced to capitulate. The border will be redrawn but the Ukes will see it as an “artificially drawn line”, to quote DJT. Neither side is known for their veracity so any deal they sign will be violated. They will then resort to their default Cossack past and begin slitting the throats of ruskies at every opportunity. Nothing will have been achieved or solved.
abKKKraper
Remember that march 2022, peace talk that borASS kybosched?
Russia was ready to flatten Kyiv, but held back, and that was a big mistake.
Maybe Trump can try out his 51st state routine on Putin, after all, “it’s just a line on a map, an artificial line, and Russia only works as a state, it could be our most cherished state.”
There’s exactly one root cause here: Russia. There’s exactly one means of permanent enduring peace: the total defeat of Russia. Bonus peace if it’s outright destroyed.
Well, the second largest nuclear arsenal on the palnet makes that problematic. Lets say it could be done. Who moves in to garrison and run the largest country on Earth? Hmmmm, sounds like a job fopr the world’s biggest army, those pesky Chinese. If they control their own country plus that, i’m just grateful I’m old enough to die before I have to learn Chinese. No thanks, Second and third order effects are complicated, no?
Peter, you are overthinking this. There’s an Iron Law of SDA. Which is, whatever UM writes, the opposite is likely to be the truth or something resembling it.
Yes. That is exactly correct. Moreover it is inevitable in the long run and ought not to be delayed for delusions of stability. Nothing of value will be lost anyway.
C…
I know you have an incredible beef with Russia, but quite frankly, I can’t see Russia’s demise happening any time in the near future, unless MAD breaks out, and all sanity disappears into the sunset (obscured by the nuclear cloud).
But if that were to happen, not only will Russia be destroyed, but so will the US, not to mention Europe, and the rest of the planet.
Russia is a dying empire. It will collapse (hopefully fracture, hopefully bloody), russia’s status as word power is gone. It is just a rabid regional beast with deadbeat demographics, collapsing infrastructure, rapidily growing islamic population (no abortion and no drinking among them, though plenty of rape just like russians) and delusions of grandeur. Pootin is trying to escape russia’s problems in the traditionally russian way, by invading russia’s betters. The end game will be the same regardless, nothing of value will be lost, but there is no reason for Central Europe to suffer because of russia in the meantime.
Why? Why destroy Russia? Why destroy any nation? Except those Muslim Nations committed to destroying every other nation on the planet to usher in the new caliphate? Who even thinks like that?
Ohhhhhhh yeahhhhhh … Putin’s a “homophobe” [sic]
“Except Russia committed to destroying every other nation around her to usher in the new Muscovy empire? ”
FTFY.
“There’s exactly one root cause here: Russia.”
Bzzzt. Wrong.
Are your Lockheed shares down or something?
Because the only people who see Russia as the enemy are either descendants of the Third Reich, or have shares in the U.S. MIC.
Are you both, or merely a sucker for obvious propaganda??
If anything Lockheed shares are down due to cancelled export orders (congrats Trump). How is that related to his post?
“Because the only people who see Russia as the enemy are sane and actually listen to what russians say”
FTFY.
UnReal is quite simply a troll. Nothing more than that.
He may be a lot of things, but he is exactly right on the topic of russia.
He has a schtick which is basically Bizarro – to come up with the opposite of sanity and present it as common sense. You could admire it if it wasn’t so mindless. It gets him the outraged howling of the sane and the pathetic affection of the insane, as we see. Perhaps he can actually trade it for pudding somehow.
Interesting you don’t bring up the CIA and their meddling.
“Interesting you don’t bring up the CIA and their meddling.”
Isn’t it, though? Almost like someone hopes we are all gullible enough to overlook the *real reason* for this war.
I notice that none of the Trumpets who claimed that Trump would establish peace in days after taking office want to admit they were wrong:

Geeze. So Fred from BC was off by a few weeks. And of course Trump himself said he’d end the war before he even took office. Psssst … he was trying through back channels … but since he learned the hard lesson when Pence got Flynn fired (and worse) for talking with a Russian diplomat before Inauguration Day … he couldn’t have any sniff of impropriety.
So it’s taken a few months. As if Trump’s plate isn’t full enough. Geeze.
What few weeks? In case it has escaped your attention there is no ceasefire.
Kenji:
“And of course Trump himself said …”
Also Kenji:
“Trump speaks in exaggerations.”

Ugh ok then, so were back to “Whatever Trump says it really means what we want to hear”.
Carry on.
“I notice that none of the Trumpets who claimed that Trump would establish peace in days after taking office want to admit they were wrong:”
And I notice that you still demonstrate the maturity level of a 14 year old ( I just don’t feel a compulsion to point it out over and over again).
Well the Turd is out of a job, we should send him. “Stop all this shooting or I’ll cry some more” That’ll do it.
Before Trump, there was no talk of anything except endless slaughter. As Prof, Mearsheimer said, they west will fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.
Trump is bombing the living daylights out of the Houthis, and plans to get shipping back to where it was before those aholes started wrecking things. Jessica hardest hit.
How positively Neocon of him.
Yes. Yes he is, and I support his actions. The only way peace will be obtained is if leaders like Trump hold these thugs accountable for their crimes.
You cannot have peace unless the neocons, as you refer to them, hold the monsters responsible for the violence accountable for their actions.
Call Trump whatever you want, but I know what he is doing is right.
Hey I fully support him bombing Houtis too. I support anyone bombing Houtis. Bombing Houtis should be a standard yearly competition for NATO forces with others welcome to join. Also, I fully support US being a global policeman. But that is me – the evil neocon, gobohomo, WEF lackey, Davos running dog or something.
It is still very Neocon of Trump and I was under impression that YW really, really, really hates the globalist Neocons. A let’s make it clear Houtis are blocking trade between Europe on one side and Asia, especially China on the other. They are also a thorn in the side of various islamic countries like Egypt and Saudi Retardia.
So why is it good that globalist Trump bombs them when it is not a US problem?
I want to know who’s bombing the Blowfish!
“Yes. Yes he is, and I support his actions. The only way peace will be obtained is if leaders like Trump hold these thugs accountable for their crimes.”
The Houthis have attacked commercial vessels 145 times and US warships 174 times since 2023. It’s a long overdue response.
“How does the fall of Canada connect to the broader failure to combat globalism? Why are Britain and so many European nations dead set on war with Russia? Why, four years after the “safe and effective” have so many people accepted its premise?
These are parallel aspects of the globalist project. This is the freeing of the powerful to shape the world”

Poland and Finland combined are more than a match for Russia.
Other than nuclear weapons, we are finding that Russia is a paper tiger. That’s not to say they should welcome a war, but Russia is not the threat it once was. They’re teetering on the edge of demographic collapse. They’re feeding their young men into a grinder. Even if this war ends, they’re going to be suffering consequences for decades.
Putin is going to kick the bucket in the next few years. Time is fleeting and all men die.
“Poland and Finland combined are more than a match for Russia.”
Poland and Finland *and* NATO, you mean.
