Evil Russian Empire invades defenseless Ukraine.

All warfare is deception...said someone. We're seeing in this affair for sure. The citizen-taken videos are really the only ones you can see some of the reality. Ghosts are everywhere else it seems. 

it really seems like Putin deceived himself into thinking this was going to be a walkover

I was not expecting them to invade this winter, because they only had 200,000 stood to

I said it would take 400,000 minimum to take Ukraine up to the Dnieper, never mind west Ukraine

I didn't think they'd actually go on an operation of this scope with only 200,000 troops

Perhaps his objectives are not what the media says they are. Much speculation as to why anything...but like Bill Nye...consider this.

What if the objective has already been met?

seems unlikely that this was the objective end state

what is the gain ?

The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

it does make me think back to the 1980s, as a soldier serving in the late Cold War

when the MIC was threat inflating the Soviets, saying that they were Ten Feet Tall again

but even as a young Private Soldier I thought at the time : low grade conscript army with junky equipment

if they cross the Inner German Border, we are going to kick their asses

mind you, the scenario always ended with the Soviets having to resort to theater tactical thermonuclear war

which spiraled out of control to the threshold of Herman Kahn's Insensate Spasm

see what fun we will have, stuck in a trench together, when they come to conscript us for World War Three ?

should I come out to Vancouver to join the Seaforth's or are you coming east to join the 48th ?

[DogOnPorch]

Yup...the one thing of theirs that is top-shelf. Rockets and things that go on-top of them. They are not to be mocked.

Soldiering is a young fellow's game. 

But I am the sort that might enjoy dishing out revolutionary justice to the mighty. Every revolution needs its Marat.

I just don't have a dog in this fight

it does seem like the media fabricates Russia hoax becoming a self fulfilling prospect

with Vladimir Goldstein believing his own press releases

I only sympathize with the civilians and front line soldiers

including the poor Russian conscripts being driven into this meat grinder

but I wouldn't volunteer to go fight for either of these totalitarian governments

and that's the test, if I wouldn't kill & die for the cause, it is not worth supporting

yeah but the trucker type protests are not going away

even Emmanuel Goldstein cannot tamp down the desperation of an inflation crisis

Jimmy Carter knows

The plan is to say US truckers support Putin, of course.

the common theme to all three tyrants

Biden, Trudeau & Putin

tired rhetoric which isn't selling anymore

followed by massive overreach which gets them in way over their heads

I think one thing they weren't counting on was the extensive use of good ol' citizen's band radio.

But we'll see. Like I've mentioned, the truckers are a wild card as are the National Guard.

things are only going to get hotter as we go on both sides of the 49th

because they can't sustain net negative interest rates anymore, inflation is out of control

but you got 33% of Canadians on the verge of bankruptcy already with the debt being carried

and real estate, which is about to go underwater, is the only thing propping the economy up

so the ranks of the truckers is only going to grow

[DogOnPorch]

Both the truckers and the *war are part of the same theater presentation. All the world's a stage...and we're merely players.

Joe Biden botches the withdrawal in Afghanistan

not even six months later, the Russians make their move

collapse of the American Hegemony

is pretty much the story

of course, Communism is a religion

Putin probably believed in Blitzkrieg. An invasion on Thursday and a victory-parade in Kiev on Sunday. Some sort of condemnation from other countries but soon it would be forgotten.

Didn't quite work that way.

[Dougie93]

this war is not working in favour of the tyrants here at home

the tyrants here thought what Putin thought, that this would be a walkover for the Russians

but now the Ukrainians are showing the whole world, that Putin can be stopped

and that is starting to blowback against the tyrants here, Biden & Trudeau
