De-nazification is nothing but a Russian catchphrase for any invasive military operation. It has no real requirement that any Nazis actually exist. It plays well with the average conservative Russian and dehumanizes the average Ukrainian which makes their extermination more palatable.

Most alarming here stateside when Americans use the exact same techniques.

More proof that when it comes to Trumpers and the alt-Left, the Venn Diagram is actually a perfect circle.
Rand Paul is channeling all the same Putin-fluffing dreck that we've already seen plastered wall to wall by alt-Left extremists.

Uh ohhhh, looks like MOLDOVA might be overrun with Nazis, too.
Russia seems to be readying a second front in the war.

France didn't do as Putin demanded so France must be punished too.
Only France is on Putin's sh*t list because there weren't ENOUGH Nazis, right?
Let's see Russians make sense of that.

Its my understanding that the Ukrainians are currently bombing stuff 45 miles into Russia (ammunitions, vehicles, etc) and its kinda wrecking Putin's lying a bit. Now Putin is running out the nuclear option again.

Things are warming up to another level. One an only wonder..............

Oh, apparently, during WWII, when the Nazis took over Ukraine they were welcomed by many Ukrainians as they were under the Russians and actually liked the Nazis better! They REALLY don't like being under the Russians and they have experience that several times over a lot of years. This is, I think, why Putin keeps on with the Nazi thing.

Maybe Putin wants to go out with a bang?

There isn't a single possible scenario where this works out in a positive way for Russia.

Heavy weaponry is now flooding into Ukraine. It's only a matter of time before Putin calls it a war with NATO and launches nuclear missiles. Or doesn't.

It's one of those "fullness of time" things that we don't have to wait too long for. If we're having a nuclear holocaust in the next few weeks it's gonna cancel out most of the other "fullness of time" things.

I expect the first volley to be limited and tactical with only a few millions of lives lost.

And I don't think there will be a second volley.

Perhaps we'll see some important changes after that. Or perhaps not, if there is a second volley.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
War, at first, is the hope that one will be better off; next, the expectation that the other fellow will be worse off; then, the satisfaction that he isn't any better off; and, finally, the surprise at everyone's being worse off. -Karl Kraus, writer (28 Apr 1874-1936)


You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

We have a LOT of nuclear weapons in Europe. This is no secret. France, for instance, is a nuclear power as is the UK and we have nuclear stuff over there as well. If one goes off then I suspect we will have to respond in kind just to prove our point.

Perhaps somebody in Russia can stop it all but I have no idea who that might be. It seems, from all the reports, that the majority of Russians fully support Putin. Their military is not very good, their equipment hasn't been updated for a very long time, etc. I read a report that said that Putin and company has been looting so much money that there has been none left to update their military and poverty is growing by leaps and bounds but most continue to support the guy who is causing all the problems.

Everything said - the question isn't what's gonna happen its when is it gonna happen? The real question is the 'what' part of that sentence.

If you watch NOTHING ELSE on the news today, watch this. Your tax dollars helping Ukrainians kick Russia's ASS.
