Ok, cars are dumb, I'm going to sell everything and buy an attack helicopter.

After all 2014 sanction didn't do much and he expect the same this round and holding EU's 30% energy need as trump card.

This is a good point. Perhaps given the "light" reaction by the world, Putin didn't expect to have to contend with the strongest sanctions ever placed on a country ever.

Also don't forget, Merkel while not on surface is pro Russia/China.

And she's not here any more and winding down nuclear is the dumbest move ever.

Is that sarcasm?

[ZenOps]

Yup, Merkel is definitely a lefty. But without doubt Germany is locked into NATO. France can leave on a whim.

Not at all. Should it be?

I'm sure he meant NK and Iran are the precedence. Probably a few others as well.

But this is probably a first for a confirmed nuclear superpower.

This looks like Putin's version of a WE day Concert.
Less hidden corruption in his though.

The "west" is 15% of the planet.

The rest of the planet supports Russia. Not the fascists.

Just China and India is practically half the planet. Everyone resents the hypocrisy of the Americans and Russia has fully brought to light the danger and Fascism of the Petro and fiat Dollar.

This will.be catastrophic for the US and its perceived dominance.

[Yolobimmer]

Haha. Accurate

The US is decomissioning two aircraft carriers right now.

They will be chopped up, as they desperately need the metal if maintaining a 10 or 12 carrier fleet. The KittyHawk is notable for its use in the million man death from above Vietnam war.

People tend to forget that way back in Nixons day, you could volunteer to kill people. In fact it was highly encouraged. It created problems back then, as it definitely will now. Black soldiers signing up just to invade Europe?

BTW: I don't think there was a single black bomber pilot out of that seven percent. The blacks were there to make food and scrub the decks. Only the white pilots got to kill the million Vietnamese (when on that aircraft carrier) Infantry wise - the Black man was frontline with no bullets and bayonet.

Aww shit, here we go again.

Russia: come back and give our people work or banned for 10 years.

This is taking longer than expected for sure. Crimea was pretty solidly on Putin side.

Don't know if that means there are far more Nazis, or simply that Ukraine wants to be its own country. If he is meeting this much resistance in either case, Moldova might be off the books (maybe six to eight years from now)

Of course if this was "Risk", it may just be Zelensky pretending to put up resitance in order to draw in as much hardware from the outside as possible, and then just hand it over to Putin for a summer house. Double crosses are well documented during WWII. Like many US presidents, Zelensky started out his career as an actor and comedian.

If they can get the USA to deploy F-35, it would be quite a prize to be able to sell one off to China when they inevitably shoot it down. Then again, this is the primary situation that the USA "should" be using all its aircraft anyways - to prevent WWIII.

Im not taking off the table that Zelensky is simply playing the role of a lifetime - and this is all a ruse.

This map will explain that pretty solidly



This is all form this video that was posted earlier out of the Chicago University, was about 3M views when I first found it, up to 21M now, pretty impressive

Valve corporation has stopped sending money to Ukrainian game developers.

https://ftw.usatoday.com/2022/03/ukr...ame-developers

On Thursday, developers based in Ukraine had their banking information on Steam deactivated. Valve, the company that owns Steam, sent out emails claiming it couldn’t “send bank payment to Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine” due to the conflict. The statement was confusing for many Ukrainian game developers, including Ternox Games.

Yeah, word is starting to get out - Russia is nasty and evil, but the NATO side isn't all roses either (Anyone remember Yugoslavia?) Best to just ban both sides until its all figured out. Just like a videogame, ban the complainer and the complainee until the dust settles.

Its very hard to contain one-sided media slant when companies have global internet reach.

NATO did kill a lot of children when they did their non-nuclear bombing runs. John McCain equally so.

I knew Zenny is nutty as a jar of jif but I didn't actually realize just how racist he was until the Ukraine conflict. Impressive.

Zenops? Lol. He's just trolling, like yolobimmer/Toma. Neither are to be taken as serious people.
