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.
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."
Yes, Gabbard is a curious case. She seems to be positioning herself to appeal to Dimocrats as a D while being anti war to appeal to anti globalists. Her website is chock full o nuts, though, so i wouldn't trust her any more than Jeb! or Bernie.
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?!
I dont know GC, i view all of us red pilled as hostages to an illegal and criminal regime. So, yes, i root against the US government and its lackeys but, since my vote in federal elections doesn't count (and even if it did it's beyond dispute that the DC pols won't ever represent me), i do not feel any measure of guilt, at least not more than a hostage can feel who hasn't yet figured out how to wrest the guns away from the crooks.
If the US did violate CBW treaties and develop bioweapons, it is to be hoped that those responsible face criminal prosecution, even if that includes one or more former presidents. I won't be holding my breath of course, but our governing elite has made it very difficult to be proud of being an American.
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.
What i can't figure about Barrstard is how and why he wound up as the replacement for Wray/Comey. It's as if the entire Trump administration was staffed by his enemies. I can hardly think of a single person in the White House who hasn't turned out to be a mole, turncoat, weasel, cat's paw, or all of the above. Depending on what explanation you come up with clarifies what you think about Trump. One extreme is the Q explanation that all these people are actually white hats and all part of an elaborate plan to trick and trap the deep state into revealing their deep state crimes. On the other extreme is the notion that Trump is an idiot when it comes to personnel and can't be trusted in the WH ever again. Another is that Trump is a super genius and he chose all these rats in a super chess move and and and.. look at how much he got done even w all the rats!
To quote from a Julie Kelly article in American Greatness:
Guy Reffitt is one of hundreds of protesters not charged with committing a violent crime on January 6. According to his initial indictment, Reffitt did not assault police officers—to the contrary, he was attacked by law enforcement with rubber bullets and mace—or vandalize any public property. In fact, he never even entered the Capitol building. But based on the government’s mostly hearsay evidence, a D.C. federal magistrate last year denied Reffitt’s release—and it had little to do with his alleged criminal behavior on January 6. “[The] gravity of the offense is not captured by the offenses because it was an attack upon the democracy and the lawful administration of that democracy as there was a transition of power,” Judge Zia Faruqui said during an April detention hearing. “My concern is that he still harbors the belief even after the election results were certified, the Electoral College was processed, that he continued to harbor the belief, the false belief that something untoward was happening with the democratic process.”
My concern is that even as real crimes are trivialized we now have a new class of crimes, dissidence and thought crimes. What will come out of Homeland Security, although ominous, remains to be seen.
I'll only be convinced that Putin is (literally) Hitler when I see Chechen special force dudes juggling Ukrainian babies on bayonets. Then, and only then!
"If they don't start to act with a spine..." Hahahahaha... if i had a dime for every time i read this line over the last 30 years I'd be able to afford my own Private Corporate Racket complete with lobbyists and media shills. It's beyond embarrassing how we are still threatening GOPukes w sitting out an election if they don't start representing we their base voters. We never have and never will because most GOP voters will always fall for the old "this is the most consequential election in the last 200 years...maybe ever!" Or, "great, so stay home and enjoy another 2 years of Nancy Pelosi " (ie, vote GOP, we're less terrible than those other guys!!).

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

"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

I would also mention that to fortify' their case they also set up the son of Guy Reffitt with a wire to record what the father was saying in the home.
https://donsurber.blogspot.com/2022/03/media-lied-about-collusion-and-laptop.html
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.
I'll only be convinced that Putin is (literally) Hitler when I see Chechen special force dudes juggling Ukrainian babies on bayonets. Then, and only then!
Interesting times indeed....... smh
