Yesterday Moon of Alabama, in the course of a wide ranging article, presented the possibility of a major escalation of the Ukraine - Russia conflict—one which could involved direct clashes of Russian and NATO forces.
You know the same thing that all of us know Mark; these imbeciles are going to get us all killed if somebody with a functioning brain doesn’t show up pretty damn soon.
Do they not realize that one, just one, super EMP weapon could shut the entire country down in the blink of an eye and plunge us into an existence that would make the Dark Ages look like a Sunday picnic?
Republican politicians for the most part are garbage too. They are the broken and corrupt status quo that is the DC gravy train. Scratch the surface and a grifter emerges. It really is the Uniparty. The illusion is that one side will do better than the other. I'm a believer in 'agendas' and politicians make great puppets.
Agree with his LJ's take 100%. IMO, the Kaliningrad Oblast situation is much more dangerous than Syria. Syria has been a known point of contention/conflict between Russia and the West for many years. It is likely to continue to be so indefinitely and it does have strategic importance for Russia. But Kaliningrad is a whole different magnitude of importance. It is integral to the defense of Russia and therefore is viewed as by them as being at least on par with Ukraine in its importance (in other words, existential). Moreover, the West will attempt to leverage Lithuania now being part of NATO as an excuse for escalation - regardless of who violated what agreement in the past - see the Minsk agreements.
Poking the Russian Bear and wondering what will happen…

How do you even address such behavior?
And where the hell are the Republicans?

Feature, not bug, for some of them. It brings about the great die off in a nice short period of time.
Just when we think that they couldn’t possibly do anything “ more stupid “, they manage to somehow kick it up a notch!
And what is our fearless leader up to while all this is taking place? Falling off his fricken bicycle!! Words fail me.
Larry Johnson has now picked up on the staggering stupidity of this move:

I started but then got distracted.
That would actually be the international coalition against the Syrian government.
Hey, hey! They're not just idiots. They're desperately pretentious idiots.
Give them their due.
