They made an example of any doctor that spoke out. First one I saw was Dr Thomas Binder whose practice was raided by 60 agents from the the domestic terrorism task force in Switzerland on Palm Sunday 2020
USA is a state sponsor of terrorism? To the regime it is “by whatever means necessary” to achieve whatever nefarious goals they have in mind. The rules don’t apply to them. Haven’t for years. So they think. They assume that their plausible deniability will continue to work, until it doesn’t. Reality is somehow a threat to their democracy.
I thought I read somewhere recently that the IDF doesn’t have a professional career NCO structure like what we are used to here. That the troops on the front are kind of on their own with direction given by an officer corps well in the rear. A sort of Lord of the Flies mindset takes hold. Don’t know if that factors at all into the conduct we are hearing about. A total lack of an organized, and well disciplined, operation.
As usual, Putin is playing a canny game. Ukraine was definitely involved, but the West almost certainly was too, even if that involvement was (unlikely) limited to not passing on warnings. However, Putin seems to be putting all the blame on Ukraine and will openly start targeting their leaders. Nevertheless, I'm sure he'll have some "nasty surprises" ready too for NATO folks in Ukraine and maybe even beyond.
Regime change (de-Nazification) was always one of Putin's goals/requirements for the SMO. This will just make a nice way to speed up the process and lessen battlefield casualties.
Yup! Nothing “ambiguous” about Putin’s objectives, making Macaroni look risible! How many young lives could have been spared if we, the West, had simply taken the Russians at their word and considered their final treaty offer in ‘21…a calamitous moral and political failure whose chickens keep coming and coming home to roost…
Hi Cassander. Sorry for my delayed response... such is life, unfortunately. I agree with your sentiment re: Putin. It seems obvious now that Russia has already defeated Ukraine on the battlefield. As he is not stupid or ill informed, I do believe Putin recognizes this and that he knows that patience is a virtue in this regard and will pay off for Russia. He can afford that approach all the more given the just completed elections.
At the same time, his stated goals remain the same and if he can achieve those goals more efficiently and reduce the losses to his own forces he will not hesitate to exercise those options, IMO. As for escalation, I believe the West is bluffing entirely (for example, merde Macron introducing the idea of French troops to Ukraine) because they know that Russia has complete escalatory dominance at this point.
Thanks for your opinions. You are one of the very clearest and concise thinkers posting here (IMO) and I am grateful for your presence. Now, on to Luongo, and thanks for that post, too!
I agree with pretty much all of what Luongo says. That said, where I kind of go astray from him (and from MacGregor and some others) is this whole 1914/WWIII/Nukes scenario. I just don't think that will happen because there is no way the West is capable of escalating successfully and they know it (yes, even the Bidenistas know this). I mean, whatever raising of the ante there is Russia can match and exceed immediately (escalatory dominance). So there is no point in engaging with Russia in a direct conflict. Sure the West can bluff (a la Macron) or do asymmetrical stuff but it is at their own peril and only a temporary adrenalin fix they can present to their publics to drag this thing out dishonestly. Macron is doing nothing but trying to make himself look good in the European security architecture post-Ukaraine. That is what they all will be doing, now.
My recollection is that my doctor did not administer the Vax in Pennsylvania. It was administered through public health authorities. I don’t think it was even possible to get one from a doctor. Just a footnote.
I believe millions have "my doctors" stories. Mine told me that refusal to take the jab would impact the Dr./Patient relationship. Totally unprofessional and narrow minded, but I am sure his pocketbook was the reason for the threat, the lure of bonuses not loss of job.
Tucker's point of view is valid, obviously, and I think millions of us feel the same. However, how many doctors practice independently of a hospital system? They were all dictated to on how they had to treat COVID. It was go along or lose your career. Now, it is keep quiet or expose both yourself and your employer to liability. So you lose your job and get sued for millions on top of it. Why is Tucker so surprised that so many are still keeping quiet?
G'day D1, that 'Better Living thru Chemistry' pseudo-religious cult mandates obedience, as you noted. Corporate Rx is a direct -and intended- result of "Obamacare", sadly. Best @ you ! (WrH)

For Covid denial

BREAKING:
Israel has established “extermination zones” where “soldiers” kill anything that moves: civilians, women, children, rescue and medical workers.
Read that again.

Kind of ironic, I hit the like button, but not because I like what Israel is doing.

Or Boris "War Criminal" Johnson had stayed in London in March 2022.
Yes. Mercouris was to the point of regretting the departure of Dominic Cummings and other advisers…!

My doctor pushed it (multiple times) like a used car salesman working on commission. Plus, he had the gall to tell me Ivermectin would kill me.

Blessed Resurrection-Celebration Sunday to all!
RE: posting - imagine accountability... covid or war mongering. All will stand before the Creator, Redeemer and ultimate judge.
My mortal, weak self wishes accounting might take place much, much sooner. I'm working on reflecting Grace & got a ways to go.
Peace friends! Stand in the Truth - we remember and celebrate Him particularly today. (WrH)
Well said, Wayne and the same to you
And to you, Wayne!
Joyeuses fêtes de Pâques to Steg and family!
You spelt it better than I do, ML. Same to you and yours, friend!
S'21, Thanks! :^) W
Amen Cast!

Correction: It was "possibly kill your patient or lose your career". Most chose the latter path.

None of the main Russian telegram channels are saying anything about that... First place I checked
I'm certain that I saw this on Donbass Devushka and Slavyangrad.
I didn't check telegram channels.

First line of the second paragraph demands the arrest of V. Malyuk by name.
The bridge attack used an unsuspecting driver, just evil.
