Enough with your idiotic false comparisons to the Cuban missile crisis. Russias invasion of Ukraine is nothing like the Cuban missile crisis. It is like Hitler’s invasion of Poland. Wrong. Learn the law. You clearly know jack sh-t about law and order. Wanting to inflict sadistic cruelty on people you hate and selectively citing the law as an excuse to do so when it’s convenient doesn’t make you a “law amd order person.” It makes you the opposite. True law and order people wouldn’t support the BIG LIE and the Insurrection and the invasion of Ukraine, to name just a few.

No its a regular bomb, but instead of scattering nails and shrapnel in the blast its scatters fine radioactive material such as waste from a nuclear power plant over an area. Once contaminated, the area can be very hard to decontaminate (see: Chernobyl). Sure if you happen to be sitting near the explosive when it goes off you would die whether it’s dirty bomb or not. And if you wanted to camp out in the contaminated area afterwards you’d come down with some sort of radiation sickness or something but it’s not a WMD. The “dirty” part doesn’t kill people just the “bomb” part, as it always does. The above said, a real dirty bomb has never actually been used anywhere in the world and many have argued that in practice it would not be much of a threat at all as in real life it would either contaminate a very small area that would be easy to contain or it would simply disperse too widely and not contaminate much of anything But perhaps we will see. My guess is that if there is any dirty bomb plot at all, the Russians are planning to contaminate the area surrounding the Zaporizhzhya power plant to take Europe’s largest nuclear power plant permanently offline in a way that doesn’t result in a nuclear meltdown

For those keeping score at home, that’s 7 of the would-be MAGA terrorists convicted (including 2 who plead guilty), and only 2 acquitted. 5 more still waiting to go to trial 3 men convicted of supporting plot to kidnap Gov. Whitmer Three men accused of supporting terrorism in the plot to kidnap Michigan’s governor were convicted of all charges Wednesday in a trial that focused on paramilitary drills and fierce contempt for government ahead of the 2020 election. Joe Morrison, his father-in-law Pete Musico, and Paul Bellar were found guilty of supplying “material support” for a terrorist act as members of a group known as the Wolverine Watchmen. They held gun training in rural Jackson County with a leader of the kidnapping scheme, Adam Fox, who was disgusted with Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and other officials and said he wanted to snatch her. The trial in state court was an offshoot of the main case in federal court, which produced mixed results: Fox and an ally were convicted of conspiracy, two more men pleaded guilty but two others were acquitted. ….“Jackson County is not known to have, I guess I would say, liberal juries. They tend to be a conservative bunch,” Nessel said. “But I think what they saw here was that this is not a political matter…”

In addition to Iran, North Korea, China, Syria and Saudi Arabia, the Putin Puppets can now add Islamist jihadis to their list of allies: Putin's warlord Ramzan Kadyrov declares Ukraine war 'the Big Jihad' and urges Muslims to rise up and fight 'demons' as Russia's security council calls for the country to be 'de-Satanized' Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov has declared the war in Ukraine to be 'the Big Jihad' while urging Russian Muslims to rise up and fight 'demons' and the forces of 'Satanic democracy'. Kadyrov, one of Putin's most hardline supporters, ranted against gay people, the transgender, and Western liberals online - saying they have overrun Ukraine, want to destroy Russia, and it is the duty of patriots to take up arms against them. …. Kadyrov raged: 'I swear with the Almighty's name, this is the Big Jihad which we must all take part in. 'And we will not stop. We will be killing them wherever they are. No matter who is helping them, America or Europe. There is nothing to worry about. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11355721/Ramzan-Kadyrov-declares-Ukraine-Big-Jihad-urges-fight-against-Satanists.html Can you say “allah-u-akhbar”, Putin Puppets?

Yep…. Ukraine alleges Russian dirty bomb deception at nuke plant KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s nuclear energy operator said Tuesday that Russian forces were performing secret work at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, activity that could shed light on Russia’s claims that the Ukrainian military is preparing a “provocation” involving a radioactive device. … Ukraine also dismissed Moscow’s claim as an attempt to distract attention from the Kremlin’s own alleged plans to detonate a dirty bomb, which uses explosives to scatter radioactive waste in an effort to sow terror. Energoatom, the Ukrainian state enterprise that operates the country’s four nuclear power plants, said Russian forces have carried out secret construction work over the last week at the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. Russian officers controlling the area won’t give access to Ukrainian staff running the plant or monitors from the U.N.’s atomic energy watchdog that would allow them to see what the Russians are doing, Energoatom said Tuesday in a statement. “Destruction of these containers as a result of explosion will lead to a radiation accident and radiation contamination of several hundred square kilometers (miles) of the adjacent territory,” the company said. …. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-kyiv-sergei-shoigu-climate-and-environment-government-politics-6ea801e22edee2d25c1e24d613f18e4a

We need to make oil obsolete, period. “Domestic oil” is a myth because regardless of what country the oil is extracted from, the owners and investors who profit from it are all playing for the same team.

To educate you AGAIN, the guy who got poisoned is Yushchenko Yanukovich was the corrupt amd brutal Russian puppet he was running against. Yeah gee who could it be? The pro-western anti-Russian leader is poisoned with a chemical that is only made in the US, UK and Russia. Hmmm…..must have been the PM of New Zealand or maybe the mayor of Tuktoyuktuk. Putin would never poison anyone, except for all those other guys he’s poisoned. Your denialism is hilarious.

Its a lie that Ukraine did anything to “make a mortal enemy” out of Russia other than exercise it’s right for freedom. And it’s a lie that anything entitles Russia to invade. If you call Tyson the N word and he assaults you, Tyson goes back to jail…again. That’s how the rule of law works, not that someone like you understands or cares about that. The rest of your post is just your usual toxic slurry of lies, ignorance nonsense and racism.

Russia’s dirty bomb lie is a hoax….if anything it’s just a tell that they intend to detonate a dirty bomb and blame Ukraine for it. BTW dirty bombs don’t kill people they just contaminate the blast site and make the surrounding area uninhabitable so it makes sense that it would be Russia’s scorched earth tactic to set one off in Ukraine as they retreat.

So your logic is we should buy more of their oil? Convenient. Sanctions ARE hurting them. Foreigners have been profiting from our oil since day 1. The oil industry is a global one and Canadian companies have always been junior players at best. We’re a price-taker not a price-maker. We just pick their cotton for them, we’re not the owner of the cotton plantation. Never have been, never will be. The regulations regarding cleanup suck, especially in Alberta where the oil industry literally OWNS the government and the province has tens of thousands of orphaned wells that will cost billions to clean up.

That’s rich. All I hear from the New Right is culture war nonsense, baseless and absurd conspiracy theories, frothing-at-the-mouth vitriolic tirades about all the different groups of people you hate and sadistic fantasies about how you’ll delight in their suffering once you’re finally in charge. Oh yes and either destroying any government or social institutions that stand your way or purging them of non-partisans and replacing them with your devoted loyal followers.

1) Ukraine is a sovereign country. You don’t get to invade sovereign countries if they won’t bow to you. PERIOD 2) Ukraines interest in NATO is the RESULT of, not CAUSE of Russian aggression and interference that goes back to when the original Russian-backed regime lost the 2004 election even after Russia poisoned the pro-Europe rival with a chemical used in Agent Orange.

A growing number of prominent Republicans on the New Right, including the billionaire Big Tech Trump/MAGA donor and GOP puppet-master Peter Thiel, have given up on democracy entirely are calling for outright monarch-style authoritarian rule The New Right’s absolutely dystopian plan to destroy democracy and the rule of law and install one-man rule, “but don’t worry the new dictator’s gonna be a really great guy, super smart, and he’s gonna make life better for everyone!” Curtis Yarvin wants American democracy toppled. He has some prominent Republican fans. The New Right blogger has been cited by Blake Masters and J.D. Vance. What exactly is he advocating? … To Yarvin, incremental reforms and half-measures are necessarily doomed. The only way to achieve what he wants is to assume “absolute power,” and the game is all about getting to a place where you can pull that off. Critics have called his ideas “fascist” — a term he disputes, arguing that centralizing power under one ruler long predates fascism, and that his ideal monarch should rule for all rather than fomenting a class war as fascists do. “Autocratic” fits as a descriptor, though his preferred term is “monarchist.” You won’t find many on the right saying they wholly support Yarvin’s program — especially the “monarchy” thing — but his critique of the status quo and some of his ideas for changing it have influenced several increasingly prominent figures. Besides Vance and Masters (whose campaigns declined to comment for this story), Yarvin has had a decade-long association with billionaire Peter Thiel, who is similarly disillusioned with democracy and American government. “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible,” Thiel wrote in 2009, and earlier this year, he declared that Republican members of Congress who voted for Trump’s impeachment after the January 6 attacks were “traitorous.” Fox host Tucker Carlson is another fan, interviewing Yarvin with some fascination for his streaming program last year. He’s even influenced online discourse — Yarvin was the first to popularize the analogy from The Matrix of being “redpilled” or “-pilled,” suddenly losing your illusions and seeing the supposed reality of the world more clearly, as applied to politics. … Far preferable, in his view, would be a government run like most corporations — with one leader holding absolute power over those below, though perhaps accountable to a “board of directors” of sorts (he admits that “an unaccountable autocracy is a real problem”). This monarch/CEO would have the ability to actually run things, unbothered by pesky civil servants, judges, voters, the public, or the separation of powers. “How do we achieve effective management? We know one simple way: find the right person, and put him or her in charge,” he writes. …For years, Yarvin was something of an odd internet curiosity, with his ideas far from most political conservatives’ radar. He gained one prominent reader — Thiel, who had written about his own disillusionment with democracy, became a Yarvin friend, and funded his startup. “He’s fully enlightened,” Yarvin later wrote of Thiel in an email, “just plays it very carefully.” (Thiel did not respond to a request for comment.) …, https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/23373795/curtis-yarvin-neoreaction-redpill-moldbug

But that’s a link to the MSM….New York Times in fact! Sp ot must be false? It always amuses me how you’ll claim MSM and outlets like NYT especially are liberal propaganda amd then link to them whenever there’s a convenient moment of reality you’d like to recognize. What’s false is your claim that Russian aggression against Ukraine only resulted from US simply saying they would support Ukraines NATO bid if Ukraine would submit one. Do yourself a favour, read about Viktor Yanukovych. He’s the Russian puppet who, in 2004 and with the help of Russia, poisoned his pro-western election opponent and was subsequently ousted from power during the Orange Revolution, only to return years later in 2010 with the help of a Russian-rigged election after which commented a heavy handed reign of terror, persecution and corruption. His reign included firing on unarmed civilians before he was again forced to flee in 2014, prompting Russia to invade Crimea and sponsor terrorist militias in the Donbas.

Oh please you’ve been shilling for Russia since February. Russia and Saudi just struck a new deal to cut production. And yes the right has been doing all kinds of things to kill or stall green energy including and especially climate denial. By the way it’s a myth that Suaids Russians etc don’t profit from NA oul. I once worked for a company that among other things owned natural gas wells in BC and AB and the Qataris were our partners on most of those wells. Oil and Gas companies are global multinationals they couldn’t give a flying f-ck about patriotism, the environment or anything elseexcept delivering profits to their global owners and investors many of whom are Saudis and Russians among others. The interests of oil and gas companies worldwide are aligned with each other and by extension the Saudis and Russians If you didn’t have the mentality of a 12-yr old you would understand that.
