A plan to deploy 100,000 men to Ukraine? Before selling the fur, first catch your bear!
Will NATO be calling on the Elves for assistance?
“HIMARS was used twice in the Kursk region”.
… and after they were warned of the consequences. Daddy smack.
To think that Putin did not know about Merkel’s fear of dogs is naive. This is an old political trick as I am sure you already know. ALL politicians are at heart psychopaths and attemp constantly to get inside each others heads. How often are dogs usually included as part of diplomatic meetings? When it comes to politics, if it happens, it is because someone planned it.
The greatest difficulty with the idea of negotiations is that the Russians now know for certain that the West cannot be relied upon to keep any of its promises. Indeed, it can relied upon to break them the very moment that seems convenient. If an agreement is binding only as long as it is enforced by superior military power, that agreement is useless and redundant. If a person promises solemnly not to open a given door, but will certainly do so unless the door is locked and barred, why bother with the promise? The locks and bars are necessary –… Read more »
The Native Americans quickly learned how the US respected a treaty.
Did you know:
On their Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, “the holiest day in the Jewish calendar” is NOT “a time for Jews to seek forgiveness from God and others for their sins, and to start anew”, but a day when Jews vow to in advance that all of the promises and agreements they make in the coming year are hereby invalid, i.e., they forgive themselves in advance for not adhering/honouring any promise or agreement the enter into in the coming year.
During WWII, on the Eastern Front, the Soviet Army, by Stalin’s orders, employed “blocking units” or “barrier troops” to prevent/punish Russian soldier/conscripts deserters on the front lines. They could be shot, imprisoned, &/or retrained/reassigned as behind-the-lines blocking/barrier troops.”OK, coward, stop some other former comrades who are now cowards from retreating/deserting or defecting.” (Some post-WWII reports say it was far worse for Russian soldiers that were captured & taken prisoner by the Nazis when they were recovered/repatriated by the USSR.) “Why did you not fight to the death?” Some current reports postulate that the Russians are doing that same sort of… Read more »
Perhaps Russia will do the world a favor, and drop a hypersonic missle on Keir Starmer
Does anyone miss our biggest commenter LizzyGreenwood? I looked up the spam king for WordPress and contacted them; Askismet. I provided examples of this obvious spam and asked why their “great” software can’t detect that, even though I marked it a spam dozens of times. They eventually replied that they would look into it. Later they responded that they didn’t know why Lizzy’s obvious spam slipped past, but it seems they fixed it.
Surely the West’s illusion about the state of Russia is a good thing, because their ignorance is extremely beneficial to the latter as it pulls out all the stops, wasting money, men and machinery, to imagine the Russians can be lulled into a false sense of security. It seems as if nothing can change their mindset, so they’d better put in their order for body bags now.
