| Fake News Says Demanding Peace In Ukraine Is Going To Get Us Nuked. Remember when the media was screaming that Trump was going to start World War III? Now, Trump talking about peace is dangerous. |

| [YouTube - SaltyCracker] Remember kids, Biden is the adult in the room who was going to take us away from harmful paths and onto the road of sanity. A peace deal is far more dangerous than a nuclear war. 1984 was never so accurate: War Is Peace, Freedom Is Slavery, and Ignorance Is Strength. |

| #37 The dope above is definitely monolingual. |

| #36 Which is why, decades ago, I already learned more Russian (and German, and other countries’) history and geography and strategy than you ever will. Are you sure, Chaim? People have the odd idea that Americans are monolingual, but this has never been so. As of the 2000 census, 20% of Americans lived in a home where more than one language was spoken, and even more live in communities where a second language is necessary to be able to function on the street — it’s probably closer to 25% now. I’m just a little suburban housewife in the middle of the American Midwest, but I grew up with three languages — two of which my parents had in common — while Mr. Wife’s father was taught in Polish through sixth grade and for his mother ditto Canadian French. The trailing daughters were immersed in German during their early years, both proper Hochdeutsch and the Hessish dialect heard around Frankfurt (a.M, not an der Oder), followed by French, Hebrew, Latin, and Japanese. Their American friends also spoke Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese, Russian, one or more of the Indian languages, Farsi... plus the usual French/Spanish/German/Latin taught here in schools. |

| #28 Your understanding of geostrategy appears to have been frozen in the Fulda Gap era. You either are completely ignorant, or just a tool. I'm voting a tool. Chrimea is important to Russia, yes. Ever since Russia took it over Putin has done everything he can to get ethnic Russians to move there, built a bridge and tried to make it the "to go" place for the elite. It was also an invasion point and a war was fought over it in 1854 that the Russians took over 500,000 casualties in and only threw in the towel when they could bring men in faster than ones they were losing in the field. If you actually did your history homework, you might know that instead of relying on Russian propaganda news feeds. |

| #21 Try again. Your understanding of geostrategy appears to have been frozen in the Fulda Gap era. Or maybe taken from a John Wayne The key to everything in this war is Crimea. Russia cannot possibly give up Crimea. The little clown in the T-shirt suddenly, in March of 2021, about a week after Shithead Biden’s investiture in the WH, announced that his government (read: the US) would “take back” … CRIMEA. (Gee, I wonder who put that idea in his little head?) That’s unthinkable to any Russian government, no matter how liberal or progressive and pro-Western. Navalny himself was the most strident advocate of restoring full Russian control over Crimea in 2014! The huge naval base at the deep-water port of Sevastopol is the jewel in the crown for Russia. The peninsula itself is arid and entirely dependent for water upon the Ukrainian mainland. This is why the US involvement in this conflict is so utterly stupid. We have zero national interest in that peninsula, let alone any vital national interest. Provoking the little twerp in Kyiv to provoke Russia over Crimea was the stupidest, most reckless, most insane foreign policy manoeuvre imaginable. For Russia, protecting Crimea is the ultimate vital interest”; Russia quite literally will cease to be a great nation if the Biden fools get their way and install NATO on the Crimean peninsula. |

| #19 He stated it explicitly. There is ZERO chance of any Russian leader restoring the USSR. None. I'll use small words for you. It. Isn't. About. Restoring. The. USSR. Clear? Most likely not. Anyway, Russia is mostly flat with mountains in the middle and forests to the north. Not many natural barriers to form a defensive line at. It is perfect territory for Mongols to horde through or Panzers to blitzkrieg through. The Russians do not have and never have had the population to defend it properly. Which is why they expand to the choke points, aka invasion routes. That way they can plant their army (heavily reinforced with subjugated populations in the front) at those and defend the heartland. That is what Putin tried to do. Although, if you believe everything he is saying at face value there is little I can say that will penetrate that thick skull of yours. |

| #16 No it wasn’t. He stated clearly that the goal of this operation... Riiiiiight. Straight from the Russian propaganda page. If you actually had independent thought, you would have seen Putin active in those regions I mentioned while playing rope-a-dope with every western leader and US president since "W". It is part of a long term plan and it just blew up in his face with Ukraine. I bet you believe the same story about the Poles attacking German soil and attacking that German radio station. |

| #15 That was always Putin's goal was to control the invasion corridors into Russia. No it wasn’t. He stated clearly that the goal of this operation was to keep Ukraine out of NATO, to eliminate Ukraine’s Nazi battalions and politicians, and protect Russian speakers, in pursuit of which the Russians have secured their land bridge to Crimea and are now proceeding to destroy Ukraine’s infrastructure. |

| #14 how does one expect the Russians to conquer Eastern Europe when they cannot conquer Kyiv, or even a small town in southern Ukraine? That was always Putin's goal was to control the invasion corridors into Russia. As Catharine the Greats said, "The way to secure Russia's borders is to expand them." Russia had gotten control of the one in Georgia, Kazakhstan and Chrimea and the "break away" republics. There are two past Ukraine in Moldavia and they have part of that country locked down too. If Ukraine had fallen fast, the Baltic states would be next, then Poland. Fortunately, the Russian military proved so inept that they won't even get past the republics. Now the plan is to make sure the Russian army dies in Ukraine and can't rebuild. With the demographics in Russia falling like a fat dog from a hot air balloon, the loss of their breeding stock in Ukraine or fleeing makes sure the Russian Federation won't survive past this century. How well this plays out 20-50 years from now will be... interesting. |

| #10 The problem is that everyone is right... and they’ve all already lost. Russia does need to feel safe, yes, but Russia also needs to give up trying to force reunion on unwilling former provinces to accomplish it, and it would be truly helpful if both countries gave up their massive corruption and racial nonsense as a tool to control the peasants. Pyrrhic victory for one and Pyrrhic defeat for the other — Russia is no longer believable as a conquering military, too much of Ukraine is rubble, both have lost enough of the flower of their youth through death and emigration that depopulation is certain unless both countries start upping fecundity to five or six babies per mother, and possibly not even then. |

McCarthy warns no more 'blank check to Ukraine' if GOP captures House By Juliegrace Brufke, Congressional Reporter & Ryan King, Breaking News Reporter October 18, 2022 02:20 PM House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) warned that Congress will likely intensify scrutiny over military aid to war-torn Ukraine if Republicans recapture the House . While iterating his longstanding support for Ukraine, McCarthy argued that many Republicans in the House have been rankled by the lack of focus on domestic matters, such as raging inflation, and will likely question the prudence of high-dollar donations to a country half a world away. 'POWER' PLAY FOR MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: BEWARE THE BASE, KEVIN MCCARTHY “I think people are gonna be sitting in a recession and they’re not going to write a blank check to Ukraine,” McCarthy told Punchbowl News. “They just won’t do it.” |
