Here in the West you can now smell the desperation in the wind. UK politicians save a few are now only talking about Ukraine when asked directly and then only with the oft repeated spin lines in a half hearted tone. The proof will be in the way the rest of this year plays out.

I just wish Putin would pull out all the stops now and get Ukraine sorted. Doesn't mean he has to go full "shock and awe" like the Americans and kill thousands of civilians with "smart" bombs, but he needs to up the pace and get this done.

No we don't get to debate World War III, because those who exercise all political power in these United States refuse to do so. The powers that be are of one mind on the matter and that's the end of all discussion. The Globalists United Party [GUPpies] school of little purple fishes in the depths of the swamp rule over us the serfs and peasants, who do nothing to oppose them, instead they are foolishly re-elected.

I remember a certain former President saying that if Hillary was elected we would be fighting WWIII with Russia (the pretext being Syria at that time). The Russians also believed she wanted a war:

Given what we are seeing now, who in Washington would have stopped her? At least Trump gave us a few years of peace. It is evident that this has been what the powers that be in the U.S. and Europe have wanted for a long time already. It has been the plan all along and has been deferred until now because of Trump.

Q: What explains this rare moment? Principle? Surely not. Money? Political calculation?

In a moment of rare bipartisanship, Congress is taking action. This is the bipartisan consensus at work. Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., channeling the consensus, wants to send more of everything. “If it shoots, we should ship it,” he said.

Democratic House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., went a bit further on Thursday. During a rules committee hearing he blurted out, “We’re at war,”

"We hear and see statements that are actually personal insults to President Putin," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters. "Given such irritability from Mr Biden, his fatigue and sometimes forgetfulness...fatigue that leads to aggressive statements, we will not make harsh assessments, so as not to cause more aggression."

Summit News reported, "YouTube flagged a Fox News interview in which former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard said war in Ukraine was good for the military industrial complex as offensive content."

"They" are going to kill us one way or the other: either war with the rest of the world, or with bioweapons. Interesting story this morning also at ZeroHedge: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2022-03-18/did-america-created-real-cobra-event-scenario-russia

The US gov't is so definitely on the wrong side of history. Which, of course, puts all of us on the wrong side of history as well. How will we pay for the wrongs that our "leadership" has inflicted on the rest of the world?!

Bluto's bigger crime was not investigating allegations of fraud in November, despite assuring us he was on top of things, especially in those seven counties, prior to the election. Funny how crimes such as shoplifting and even armed robbery have become non-crimes, together with election fraud, while having doubts in your mind as to the last Presidential election sets one up as a 'domestic terrorist,' according to one Washington judge concerning J6 defendants when they eventually get a trial.

Media lied about collusion and the laptop. And you believe them on Ukraine?

The images on TV from Ukraine are terrible.

You would have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by the media images. And you would have to have a head of rock to fall for it again.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

Fool me thrice, and dear Lord, I am a liberal.
