#1  Moving article, S.Machinsky. Now do Katyn Forest.

#2  If you're equivocating among acts of evil, you've already lost the discussion.

For every one Soviet/Russian act of evil visited them during WWII, the Russians can deliver ten such examples by the Germans and her allies.

#3  Stalin needed or at least thought he needed a Polish buffer zone between him and the West/Germany/NATO and he didn't want to take any shit about it from the Poles. War tends to get that way.

#4  No, I haven't, Bad; just get tired of the Rus crying "I'm a poor victim, so don't watch what I'm doing/"

#5  ..but at least understand their national paranoia when dealing with those on their borders.

#6  ..now given the only people who conquered them were the Mongols, I find the lack of concern with the Chinese to be a bit fascinating.

#7  They are extremely nervous about the Chinese. Including the hordes of illiterate poor Chinese immigrants pouring into Russia

The United States is preparing Europe for a provocation with Ukraine.
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Igor Polezhaev.

[VK] Following the talks at the level of the heads of the foreign ministries, Washington and Kiev signed a charter“ on strategic partnership ”. This happened on another wave of accusations against Russia, which, according to the Americans, "is preparing an invasion of Ukraine." The US allegedly transferred information on this matter to the EU. What is it - ethereal fears or the announcement of your own provocation?

#1  Are we prepared to go to war to defend the current political configuration in Ukraine?
Really?
In defense of what vital interest of the United States?
Can anyone say?

Or is it because we're upholding some new strategic doctrine that this president recently articulated in a major speech?

If so, I missed it. Or is it just the Biden Shit-Yer-Pants Doctrine?

#2  Because the Russian government is utterly, completely innocent. For the first time in Putin's reign.
Posted by: Rob Crawford || 11/15/2021 7:12 Comments || Top||

#3  Ok so Putin's not "innocent." Must sternly-word him. Bad Vlad!

But warships in the Black Sea? Why? To preserve what, exactly, in Ukraine-- freedom of ... this newly vital SLOC? Our brother-Slavs in Kiev?

Or are they now GoodWhites and Russian speakers in the east are BadWhites?

The obvious solution to this mess would have been to partition that miserable country and demilitarize it -- no nukes, no standing armies, and no prospect, ever, of Ukrainian NATO membership. That's what Bush the Elder, Major, Kohl and Mitterrand's governments all promised Gorbachev.

They lied. Or more precisely it was Clinton and his mendacious assholes who overreached and overruled and pushed NATO into Russia's backyard. That was over YELTSIN's strenuous objections, not Putin's. Long before anyone ever heard of Putin.

We didn't create this dumpster fire, but we just pushed it, Joseph Rosenbaum-like, right up to the gas pumps.

Can we stop being so f--king stupid in our post-Soviet Russia policy? For once?

#4  Ukraine.
Belorussia-Poland.
Taiwan.
Estonia.
If you don't think this is being co-ordinated from some dascha you probably still write letters to Santa.

#5  The real flash point right now is the border between Belarus and Poland. If you really want a fight, there it is. Never mind the Syrians who might get caught in the crossfire. They're the enemy too.

#1 

The refrigerator freezer temperature should be 0° F (-18° C), again according to the FDA. Typically, this temp should prevent freezer burn and keep ice from developing on surfaces.

If you're going by the book, there really is no average refrigerator temperature, but you may need to drop the temperature down to somewhere between 35° F to 37 depending on where you live and any environmental or altitude factors.
