[INDEPENDENTSENTINEL] Liberty Daily posted a Climate Depot article about a congressional report in 2018 detailing "Russian attempts to influence" and fund environmental groups to oppose fracking in Europe and the U.S.
The reason is obvious since Russia relies on oil and gas exports for its very survival. There is more to this story. George Soros gives to the same groups surreptitiously.
We reported this in 2018 after The Daily Signal summarized the involvement of Russia and George Soros, who now has operatives employed in the White House.
Russia funneled money to a corporation that funds radical environmental groups that are vehemently opposed to fossil fuels and fracking in the United States. The corporation is active in New York, northern and western Pennsylvania, western Ohio, most of West Virginia, and small portions of Kentucky and Tennessee as well as other states. The Daily Signal has researched their advocacy and financing in energy policies in New York.
Two environmental advocacy groups that successfully lobbied against fracking in New York each received more than $10 million in grants from a foundation in California that got financial support from a Bermuda company congressional investigators linked to the Russians, public documents show, according to The Daily Signal.
The environmental groups Natural Resources Defense Council and the Sierra Club Foundation received millions of dollars in grants from the San Francisco-based Sea Change Foundation.
When New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, renewed his state’s ban on fracking three years ago, the Natural Resources Defense Council issued a statement supporting the ban. So did the Sierra Club, the primary recipient of grants from its sister organization, the Sierra Club Foundation.
Environmental activists associated with the groups receiving Sea Change Foundation grants continued to pressure Cuomo and other public officials to maintain and expand New York’s fracking ban.
First Exposed July 2017, Ties to Soros
This is an issue that was exposed in July 2017. It appears that the Russian-backed groups are groups George Soros also funds.
Republican Reps. Lamar Smith and Randy Weber sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on June 29, 2017, requesting he investigate allegations that Russia has financially backed anti-fracking campaigns in the U.S. to "safeguard the influence of the Russian oil and gas sector."
"According to reports, entities connected to the Russian government are using a shell company registered in Bermuda, Klein LTD. (Klein), to funnel tens of millions of dollars to a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) private foundation, the Sea Change Foundation," the letter stated.
The Sea Change Foundation is accused of funneling the money from Klein to the environmental groups. However, they deny any ties to Russia.
The Foundation received $23 million from Klein and their only other donor was the founder. There is no evidence of grants or other sources of funds.
The exposure didn’t change a thing. Sea Change gave millions of dollars each year to "climate change mitigation and clean energy policy." They went to climate projects to promote clean energy and reduce reliance on carbon energy. Sea Change is also anti-fracking.
The League of Conservation Voters, Center for American Progress, and Union of Concerned Scientists have all advocated for stronger regulations on fracking as well. There's a chart there as well. You might want to check it out. As the Critical Drinker says, I'm tired. Go home!

Much like the anti-war movement during Vietnam
I have always thought that what occurred during Vietnam was funded by the Soviet Union
Where else could a bunch of hippies that didn’t work afford to fly all over?
Today the real World War III is being fought on the commodities markets and reinforced by the environazis
We are the only major industrialized action try to prohibit them fossil fuel production
The rest of the world is “drill baby drill” and we are buying oil from our worst enemies
#2
Now the lefties (former hippies) love the gummint, FBI and CIA.
Now us old squares are the anti-war movement. We have always worked for our livings. No. Soviet paymasters.

^ LOL Dron66046!!! I will say this of Soros: "The sight of such endless avenues of fishy-eyed vacancy and death, and the thought of such linked infinities of black, brooding compartments given over to cob-webs and memories and the conqueror worm, start up vestigial fears and aversions that not even the stoutest philosophy can disperse.”

And now like clockwork, vultures like Bill Ackman and Soros and other warmongering assholes swoop in and start buying RUSSIAN BONDS
Same way that Bill Ackman manipulated the markets with COVID fear-mongering in March 2020

updated March 6, 2022 1:41 ET Investors Start Buying Ukraine, Russia Bonds
Distressed-debt funds swoop in as war pushes bond prices down
[FrontPage] A tough choice between Muslim Europe and Muslim Russia.
Russia, with a birth rate of 1.5 children per woman, has invaded Ukraine, where the birth rate is 1.2 children per woman, to determine which nation with below replacement birth rates will go extinct the fastest. In the long run the only winners of the war to determine whether Ukraine will belong to the 1.2 or 1.5 people will be the Chechen and other Moslem soldiers doing the fighting.
The Chechens have a birth rate of 2.5. Their religion and mosques are more likely to inherit the territories they are fighting over than either the Russian or Ukrainian Orthodox churches.
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Facebook] Directions:
1. The Ukrainian army has built the front line. This is an important operational achievement. Russian convoys lost the opportunity to advance in any chosen direction. This does not mean that the defense is stabilized, it means that Ukraine has restored organized resistance. Since the Ukrainian leadership did not mobilize the operative reserve and TRO before the war, every day of resistance gives us the opportunity to mobilize forces now. We are getting stronger.
2. The situation near Kiev remains tense. The enemy continues to slowly sell our defense under Irpen, Bucha and Makarov, there are heavy battles. Russian troops are trying to take control of the Zhytomyr highway and capture Kiev from the west in order to block logistics and supply of supplies.
Missile and air strikes are launched in various cities in the Zhytomyr region of the Russian Federation. According to the Chechen scenario, the Russian army simply demolishes any suspicious houses with tanks and artillery, without checking whether there are tenants there or not. However, in response to terror, the Russians suffer huge losses and their groups are gradually losing their combat ability.
3. Russia continues actions in various directions in order to maintain the strategic initiative and not allow the Ukrainian command to concentrate reserves. The accumulation of Ukrainian troops is also carried out by air and missile terror, and the destruction of major cities. The opponent is trying to secure in the south direction.
4. Scenery near Kharkiv. The enemy does not conduct active ground warfare, because all their attacks are fought back with woes. But the enemy is trying to control the actions of Kharkov's defenders with constant rockets, artillery and air strikes. In Kharkov, the Russians are demonstratingly destroying residential areas, dozens of attacks were inflicted on high-rise buildings, the life support system of the city.
5. Russian troops are regrouping near Balakleia. They threaten to reach Kharkov from the east. But the main course of action of this group is raisins. Raisins are attacked by Russian air and artillery. The attempt of the Russians to seize the city is reflected.
6. Zaporizhzhya region. Russian troops are concentrating efforts on consolidating in the captured Energodar and the Zaoprozh NPP. Another Russian group threatens Gulyay-Polya and hangs over the southern flank of the JFO forces. The Russians are building a railway and trying to consolidate in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions.
7. It is obvious that the activity of two Russian groups in Balakley and Pology poses threats in different directions, but the most likely direction of their strikes will be an attempt to narrow the supply corridor in the Donbass with blows to Raisins from the north and to Gu lay-field from the south, and force Ukrainian troops to leave Donbass.
8. Mariupol - a key city of southern Donbass, heroically battles in the surroundings under fire from Russian air and artillery. Today in Mariupol, an 18-month-old baby died from a direct hit of a Russian shell. The Russians are trying to knock out our garrison and force us to surrender. Russia is trying to create a scenario of the second Ilovaisk in Mariupol, but on a larger scale.
9. They were worried. Ukrainian troops heroically hold Volnovakh. The Russian command continues attacks to seize the city, in order to push our troops out of the southern Donbass and further move our positions away from Mariupol. Yesterday, in the battle of Volnovakha, our soldiers destroyed a combatant of the Russian battalion "Sparta".
10. Nikolaev Oblast. Ukrainian troops repelled Russians from Nikolaev and Voznesensk. However, the opponent continues to pose a threat in these directions, and intends to capture our main ports and the South Ukrainian NPP. The situation is getting tense.
11. Chernihiv. The heroic defense of the city continues, our troops firmly hold their positions. The Russians are trying to suppress our forces with constant air terror.
12. Sumy, Okhtyrka. The heroic defense of these cities continues. Russian air terrorists destroyed the life support system of cities in order to force residents to leave their land.
13. Popular uprising in all occupied territories is of invaluable importance. The united resistance of the people of Ukraine disrupts all Putin's plans to seize the country and compensates for the miscalculations committed in the organization of our defense, especially evident in the south. Therefore, any forms of resistance, apparent or indirect, from every citizen, any assistance with information, participation in protests, sabotage against the occupiers is of great importance.
Conclusions :
1. Ukraine withstood the first blow of the Russian army. The operational pause in the actions of the Russian troops is associated with large losses and regrouping to tighten the rear.
2. The Russian army has changed its strategy of actions. After the failure of attempts to surround Kiev and Kharkov, the Russian command focused its main efforts on the fight on communications and the separation from Ukraine Pricheronomorya and Donbass.
3. After a series of defeats in ground battles, the Russian command began to use outright terrorist tactics, firing up residential neighborhoods, killing civilians who allegedly set out to "denazify".
4. You can stop the advancement of Russian columns and disrupt their maneuver only by constant pressure on their communication. Only the use of active defensive tactics in various directions will force the enemy to leave and liberate our land. An operational break is also necessary for the enemy to consolidate and recover losses, it is also quite vulnerable.
5. Ukraine continues to surpass the Russian army in number, motivation, fighting spirit, however the enemy has gained an advantage in mobility, including armored technology and artillery, in air and missile weapons. The key factor that predetermined Ukrainian victory is the cohesion of the Ukrainian people in the struggle. However, winning the war requires mobilization, armament and training. And this is the time that every day of resistance we achieve at a high price. Work for victory is going on every second, all Ukrainians are united in only one thing - to win. And we will come out on top.

I will add clarification comments inside parenthesis where necessary. So, let's roll:
"I have hardly slept at all these days, at work at almost all times, I have brain-fog. Maybe from overworking, but I feel like I am in a surreal world.
The Pandora’s Box is open – a real global horror will begin by the summer – global famine is inevitable as Russia and Ukraine are main producers of wheat. (MY COMMENTARY: I disagree that this will result in global famine.)

Occam's Razor says the simple answer is the most likely in simplified terms (the principle (attributed to William of Occam) that in explaining a thing no more assumptions should be made than are necessary), and if it seems too good to be true, it probably isn't true?
I cannot imagine an FSB analyst would be willing to post something so blatantly "defeatist" in the midst of a full-out war. Putin declared a 15 year imprisonment for fake news publications, so this simply seems F-4 at best.
#3
Retired Russian reserve FSB Colonel Igor Girkin (call sign Shooters") shot his mouth off several times about the policy mistakes of Putin back in 2014. He didn't suffer any consequences.
There's a chance that this is authentic.
Recall that Girkin claimed responsibility for the takeover of Crimea, and briefly was commander of separatist forces in Donetsk/Lugansk before the retreat from Slavyanks in August, 2014.

If I had times I'd make two columns. On the left hand side, "###ups by Ukraine" and on the right side "###ups by Russia."
For the Ukraine side:
* Sticking the bulk of their army out in the border of the Donbass where it could get encircled, and more or less stuck there during the Mud Season, where it's totally irrelevant to the fulcrum points of the conflict, on the south coast, and up by Kiev. It's about as useless as the Maginot line where they are now. And all for a fantasy scenario where they'd get to Take Back The Donbass.
* A couple dozen obsolete tanks that could still move around in the environment around Kiev would be really useful right about now. A mediocre force in the right place at the right time might be better than the latest modernized tanks stuck out where it can't do anything.
* They needed a national guard type force,
For Russia:
* Starting the conflict _now_ rather than waiting another couple months was a mistake. Putin was winning without fighting to the tune of 30 billion a month. Now there's a chance that people might start waking up.
* The attacker needs to be able to concentrate his forces more than the defender does. The attack on Kiev from the North needed to be larger or it needed to not happen to begin with.
* Russia would need better trucks and tanks that kept their mobility more than invincible tanks. Rather than hoping for something that will absorb hits, they needed stuff that would actually go where the fight is.
* IMHO if they were planning on doing wars like this they should have actually spent the money on logistics and mobility rather than whatever they actually spent it on.

* Starting the conflict _now_ rather than waiting another couple months was a mistake.
That is something that bugs me. The Russian planners must be familiar with their seasonal weather. Was there some behind the scenes NATO/Ukraine event that made Putin push the Go button?
[American Thinker] The economic sanctions and boycotts directed at Putin’s Russia have been and will continue to be a complete failure. They may cause an economic slowdown in Russia, even a significant one. Aeroflot may stop flying outside the country. The French may seize the oligarchs’ floating brothels disguised as yachts, and Putin’s mistresses may miss their latest designer gowns from the Paris fashion shows. At the corner grocery store in Moscow, the shelves may be more even bare than usual. The sanctions will be "successful" only in that way. But these sanctions will not stop one bullet from being fired in Ukraine or prevent another kilometer of Ukrainian territory from being seized. That’s all that counts and, in that way, these sanctions are and will be a total failure.
But there is a way to turn the Russian invasion around in seven days. In less than a week, we could send Putin’s platoons back down the muddy roads to Russia, licking their wounds as they go. It will not necessitate American boots on the ground. And if Mr. Putin objects, it’s simply a technique he and his predecessors perfected over the years.
In 1939, the world faced a power-hungry, territory-taking gangster-dictator just as we do now. The United States wanted to help Great Britain fight Hitler, but our misguided neutrality laws forbade it. So, President Roosevelt found a way around that law by "trading" 50 old American destroyers in exchange for the American Navy’s use of the port of Bermuda. It was called the "Lend-Lease" program. The American destroyers, crewed by Brits, with a few American "consultants" on board, helped break the back of Hitler’s U-boat flotillas.
After Hitler invaded Russia in June 1941, long before the United States was officially in the war, we supplied Stalin with the equipment Russia needed to fight the German onslaught. Rather than claiming we were lending the tanks, guns, and planes to Russia, we freely admitted they were gifts. In the final tally, we sent Russia almost 425,000 jeeps and trucks, 14,000 airplanes, and 13,000 tanks. Much of it came to Mother Russia’s rescue before Pearl Harbor.
So, there’s no doubt Russia accepts the precedent of accepting military aid from a noncombatant country. But knowing it is more blessed to give than receive, they reversed the concept in the 1960s. North Vietnamese pilots flew Russian airplanes to shoot down American airmen. Russian missiles were shot at those who were not shot down by Russian aircraft. Russia gave the North Vietnamese thousands of artillery pieces and tanks, millions of rounds of ammunition, and virtually everything else the North Vietnamese requested. The bayonet on the end of the AK-47 that penetrated my knee was undoubtedly made by "the happy workers at Kalashnikov Commune #43" or some similar Russian factory.
The practice continues in the Middle East today. The Russians actively arm the Iranians, the PLO and their Hamas brothers, and the Houthi rebels trying to close the southern end of the Suez Canal. We recently intercepted an ocean-going ship packed with the latest Russian weapons from bow to stern, keel to mast.
After seeing America’s army and its honor abandoned in Kabul, many American senior military officers are willing to share their dissatisfaction and ideas for defeating Putin’s army.
The concept is straightforward. We employ the same technique Russia accepted and used for decades. But in this case, the weapon we supply to the Ukrainians can make any Russian offensive untenable. Officially it’s the M39A1 missile. It’s known to the troops as the B-BAM. The two Bs stand for Big and Bad, and the M equals Missile. I’ll let you figure out the A.
Not our circus, not our monkeys. We need to push for an off-ramp before we get sucked into another war.
This time, with a nuclear power that really dies have nukes with a leader who really will use them.

from the VC
The VC were virtually destroyed in '68. From that time on the war was carried by the regular North Vietnamese army. After the fall of Saigon, what little was left of the VC for PR was quickly absorbed by Hanoi.
[Babylon Bee] KYIV, UKRAINE—As shells have begun exploding in the heart of Kyiv, museums have rushed to protect their most prized, valuable pieces: the original artwork of once-in-a-generation talent Hunter Biden.
"The Louvre may have Van Gogh and the Mona Lisa, but here we have Coke On Coke by Hunter Biden," said museum owner Ivan Rostyslav. "I will never forget when he sold us this piece, he said to me, 'Ivan, I don't know how I got here or where my pants are but can you get me to the airport?' Ha! What an artist he is!"
According to sources, most of the paintings were initially purchased for the Burisma boardroom with the tacit understanding that then-Vice President Joe Biden would look out for Ukraine. Museum owners waged huge bidding wars to acquire the pieces, knowing that beyond the remarkable art, each painting came with the assurance that the United States would have their back.
"We were lucky to get our hands on Hooked By Hookers, it's quite a popular piece," said curator Viktor Dankevych as he took the piece down for safe storage in a bomb shelter. "But more importantly, we know it means that President Biden will take care of Ukraine in our time of need. I hear the planes overhead, the air raid sirens, I do not panic. I know the United States will come to help."
At publishing time, sources say all of the Biden paintings have been sold on eBay to Taiwan.

Should Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, Donald Trump, and Lindsey Graham been assassinated?
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[VOENNOEDELO] The expert also answered questions about the slow advance of the Russian army.
Russia continues to conduct a special military operation in Ukraine. Military expert, analyst and captain of the first rank in the reserve Konstantin Sivkov expressed his opinion on the effectiveness of the Russian military special operation. He estimated the losses among the fighters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation at one tenth of a percent. The expert's words are quoted by the SM-News news agency .
According to Sivkov, losses among Russian military personnel in Ukraine are within 0.1%.
(150,000 x 0.1)/100(for the percent) =150, if I didn’t miss a step. I assume that doesn’t include prisoners of war. What about the dead Chechen special forces and the Wagner Group assassins?
At the same time, critical losses were recorded only once, when the Ukrainian military defeated a convoy of a sabotage and reconnaissance group of logistic support. Similar cases did not recur during the entire operation.
The expert also answered questions about the slow advance of the Russian army. He recalled that the personnel needed to rest, since the advancement into the interior of the territory and the fighting were physically hard for the soldiers. Also, units need to promptly supply fuel and ammunition. Such moments, although they slow down the offensive, are planned and necessary.
Recall that on February 21, Russia recognized the sovereignty of the LDNR. This was done after Ukraine again began intensive shelling of settlements in Donbass. The leadership of the republics decided to evacuate civilians to neighboring regions of Russia and requested emergency assistance from Moscow. On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine. It should be noted that the war in Donbass has been going on for 8 years. It began after the Luhansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine refused to recognize the legitimacy of the new government that came to power after the coup in Kyiv.
Earlier, political scientist Kedmi estimated the pace of the special operation of the RF Armed Forces in Ukraine.

"Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum in Davos has said he wants to reduce the world population to a billion people. And the first people to go will be the whites.." Blackrock , George Soros , Biden , swamp and coordinated world leader placement(Bill Gates, Macron, Trudeau) too numerous to mention here. It appears to myself that what Putin has done has dramatically set them all back unexpectedly. Tremendous funding resource to DNC (10 million)and Clinton with Hunter Biden being a useful tool. Should Putin be his own man being increasingly bonded with China we have a competitive new world order being borne.

/\ If urban areas can be packed full and become high-priority nuclear conflict targets, Schwab's numbers could eventually be reached. But perhaps that is the plan.
Uh, Russia and China have had a de facto alliance for the last twenty-five years. And they've turned countries in _this_ hemisphere into satellite states. The US left has sleptwalked itself into the "neocon war" it says it hates by ignoring that, in addition to all the self-neutering we've done over the last thirty years.

It has not escaped me how the large metropolitan areas have become more and more dominated by our rapidly transformative Marxist left in the last few years. Increasingly these hive cities have taken on the dystopian feel of science fiction, no private transport, vertical living in small units, heavily engineered social credit schemes, and loaded with public assistance at the expense of the surrounding communities and the federal government. The Green Revolution seeks to drive most of us into the hive, where control and social engineering will deliver a presumed "workers paradise of equity and shared values as world citizens". Once the stuff of fantasy, Covi9, a stolen election and now Pootie have accelerated the pace geometrically. The price of gasoline in sleepy little Gardnerville, NV just went up $.40 in three dasys, to $4.19 at ARCO. Wallyworld had a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing for $7.98 and bread now tops $4.35. This is unsustanable, and every single thing that people depend on for basics at home comes by truck! Couple that with the looming fertilizer shortages for the impending planting season, and we are facing a massive recessionary Sh*t Sandwich this spring and summer. And Biden's brain trust has decided that the fix is a new Iranian oil source, and possible opening of Venezuela as alternatives, two more enemies to be fed by the American people struggling to get by. YJCMTSU!
[Guardian] After the war in Ukraine led German chancellor Olaf Scholz to pivot dramatically last week on his country’s postwar creeds of faith, attention is shifting to his predecessors, who took Germany down a strategic path towards Russia that became a dead end.
The conflict in the east has caused a seismic shift in Germany, where Scholz has made a U-turn on a restrictive stance on weapons exports, announced huge increases in military spending and vowed to wean the country off Russian gas.
Since then, all eyes have been on Gerhard Schröder, the unrepentant ex-chancellor who in his final weeks in power shook hands with Vladimir Putin to ratify the Nord Stream pipeline underneath the Baltic Sea. Just weeks later, Schröder slipped effortlessly through the revolving door to become chairman of Nord Stream. The resultant increase in Germany’s reliance on Russian energy, politicians in Berlin now concede, may have led Putin to believe Germany would be too hamstrung to support concerted economic sanctions.
As a paid-up lobbyist of energy giant Gazprom, Schröder’s motivation is transparent: on Friday, Scholz called on his party colleague and former boss to sever ties with Russian state-owned companies.
Less clear is why Schröder’s course of expanding economic ties with Russia was broadly continued by his successor, Angela Merkel, and whether she did so purely out of passivity or to her political advantage.
[American Thinker] Elon Musk is a visionary, a capitalist, an extreme environmentalist (after all, his goal is to put everyone in an electric car), and someone who refuses to follow the standard path of becoming a bossy leftist billionaire. Instead, Musk will go his own way, pushing back against the leftist shibboleths that control his class. Perhaps that's why Musk has announced that, even though it goes against both his interests and beliefs, it's time for America to get back into the business of producing oil and gas.
America's billionaires are pack animals: they're all leftists who want to use technology to bring Americans to a glorious new age of being completely controlled by these billionaires and their college-indoctrinated minions. Musk, who is currently richer by far than the rest of these guys (he's worth close to $300 billion), is a renegade from that herd.
What makes Musk really stand out from the billionaire herd is his tweet habit. Like Trump before him, Musk tweets out what he thinks. Instead of vague leftist platitudes and virtue-signaling, he tells it like it is. And sometimes he asks questions, such as asking the internet whether he should sell 10% of his Tesla stock.
Rasmussen Reports, a public opinion polling service, recently released findings detailing the American public's level of support for US military involvement in a potential "wider" European war. Their findings show that when asked the question, "If a wider war breaks out in Europe, should the U.S. military be involved," higher-income respondents were more likely to answer "yes."
A greater number of wealthier Americans supported the idea of sending American troops to Europe in that case. Those making over $200,000 annually supported the idea by 66 percent. At the other end of the spectrum, of Americans making less than $30,000, only 37 percent agreed with the pro-involvement sentiment.

Why does my argument that Biden's been sucking Putin's dick make you so angry but you never fucking _respond_ to it? Why can't you actually be _happy_ with the guy who gave Russia the money to perform the invasion? Or if you're still pretending-to-be-real-red-blooded-American, why can't you be upset that he shut down American jobs and gave Putin the money to perform the invasion?

That's some funny shit! You don't even own the computer you are typing on.
P.S. Beg your owners for at least 50 rubles a message. You may be able to afford in 10 years an Egyptian vacation since Crimea will be off limits to Russians by then.
Like Trump, I have only one dog in this hunt. I'm ONLY for "America First." This war is nonsense. It doesn't involve us. We should not be sending billions of dollars in aid or sending billions in military weapons to Ukraine. I don't want this to turn into WWIII. I don't want my kids or your kids dying over Ukraine. We need to stay a million miles away from this conflict.

Correction: Wayne Allan Hunt Root
Root points to Soros. Sure Putin is an evil shit who deserves a special place in hell, but Soros belongs there with him. Root:
No. 3: This is all part of Soros and Klaus Schwab's "Great Reset." They want to make us all obedient serfs and slaves. They need World War III as a distraction while they destroy America and capitalism and take your freedoms away.
Here's my conclusion. I'm not "for" Russia. I'll never be a fan of Putin. He's out for only himself and a new dominant Russian empire. I'm not telling you to take Russia's side. They are "bad guys." But I know if Soros is behind Ukraine, then Ukraine is also a "bad guy." If Soros wants us involved, I know this war is not in America's best interest. I know the media is feeding us a load of lies and propaganda -- under Soros' direction.

But first arrest all the neocons. Start with this Wall Street asshole, a fellow market manipulator along with Soris named Bill Ackman. Just read through his posts to see how deranged these assholes are - he's calling for a no-fly zone. As if a market manipulator knows anything about NFZs

The other guy "Angaiper Ulavins1210" is a royal flaming asshole, though. Typical neocon chicken hawk who calls people pro-Putin if they point out how the world actually works.
Putin and Zelensky are both shits. I hope theyre both killed by each other's goons. Zelensky has stolen millions, Putin has stolen billions, now they're fighting each other. So Putin started it -- ok he's a war criminal.

The Rasmussen poll surveyed 1,000 U.S. Likely Voters nationwide and was conducted on February 27-28, 2022 by Rasmussen Reports.
That poll found that as of Feb 27-28, 80% of US Likely Voters expected a wider European war. Only 49% thought the US should get involved.
Support divides perfectly on class lines. The Rich chicken hawks are slobbering and screaming for war. Poor and middle-class Americans say Fuck no.
If they repeat the poll this week, these numbers will probably be even more extreme. Over 90% will expect a wider war and over 80% of poor and middle-class Americans will want us to jump in.
Wonder what % of the wealthy chicken hawks now want to drag us in? Still 66%, or even higher?

My degree is in English Literature, didn't keep me from spending most of my earning years in the IT space (language is language, after all.) When I was an ink-stained wretch fresh outta college, I learned to adjust my conversational style to the people I was trying to pry answers out of. It worked for me because I was good at it, but I still got "You ain't from around here, areyuh?" often enough to be careful with that technique. But it did work. Authenticity is the key. "F*ck it, I'll fake it" only works if you can do it.

Fuck off, you tools. My ancestors came here after the Potato Famine. My grandfather won a Silver Star at Ypres. His son my uncle, my dad and I and my brother in law fought in every one of our wars in the last century.
This one is not our fight. Nobody aside from you chicken hawks and your neocon clowns wants to escalate this.
So you're saying you're an American and you're trying to make this thread All About You Vs. The Neocons when the original post was about Elon Musk (!) speaking in defense of the oil industry.
And despite being the Rootin-Tootin Red Blooded American it doesn't occur to you to be angry about all the industries that have been shut down here that have empowered assholes like Xi and Putin.
Meanwhile I drive past a hundred or so miles worth of closed plants and shipyards and whatnot six times a month. And to you "The Neocons" are worthy of comment but that _isn't_?

He did hijack the thread at the git-go. Back to Musk: His rockets do burn a lot of kerosene. The BE-4 slated for the Vulcan replacement for the Russian engined Atlas V will burn liquified methane. These are fossil fuels. Let's not even get started on how pretty much everything else in modern life relies on chemical feed stocks derived or depending on petroleum distillates at some point.

While some neocons might bear some responsibility, a lot of the responsibility for this war rests, IMHO, with the people who for the past thirty year have been telling us they were all for peace, love, and puppies and had brought us the millenium with every plant shutdown.
#45
This American doesn't see a problem we need to solve in Ukraine. The issue is not that we aren't engaged enough, it's that we were already too entangled when it started.
Is Putin a bad man? Certainly not the worst on the list. I'd say at least or more of his people love him than Americans do Bidet. Let's not even talk about Kim, the ayatollahs, the Taliban, the ISI and so on. But they are higher up the list of the harm they do and the misery they inflict directly on their own people. Hell, we can't free the Cubans or Nicaraguans in our own hemisphere. We have no more business in Ukraine than we did trying to make Afghanistan or Iraq into Iowa.

I don't see it as a change of heart, Snowy. It is basically a statement against interest, so I think he means it.
Obviously, this would negatively affect Tesla, but sustainable energy solutions simply cannot react instantaneously to make up for Russian oil & gas exports.
Musk has studied physics and economics so he gets that things are connected, that every complex system is a network. You cannot eliminate the internal combustion engine by wishing it out to the corn field. It takes time. Plus relying on the goodwill of our geopolitical rivals hardly seems ideal.
I've perhaps planted the idea in a few deep state minds across Langley & Lubyanka that we should help assassinate Zelensky in exchange for taking out Putin. From our lips to the DeepState God's ears
And maybe a Dave Frishberg disc in the bargain. Not a bad day's work. Not a bad lifetime's work, if we can make the dual-hit happen

^^ They were according to Russian revisionist history texts. BTW, Pershing is reported to have said the France-Mexico daily commute in 1915-16 was a bitch.
As I said his unit was seconded by Pershing to Haig
Since you're too lazy to click here's a portion of the linked article that explains what happened
Borrowed Soldiers: The American 27th and 30th Divisions and the British Army on the Ypres Front, August-September 1918
Soon after arriving on the Western Front in the spring of 1918, the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) commander General John J. Pershing reluctantly sent the 27th and 30th Divisions to train with the British Army.
It was his way of appeasing Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, who insisted that American doughboys amalgamate into the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) to fill the ranks of his depleted army. Pershing, however, had other plans. He sought to form an independent army and resisted the constant pressure from Haig.
It was only when the U.S. War Department accepted an offer from the British to transport American troops to Europe that Pershing allowed Americans to train with Haig’s Tommies.
Additionally, Pershing agreed that the British would equip, feed, and arm his men, and that they could also be utilized at the front should an emergency arise. Under this program of training, ten American divisions spent time in the British sector as the American II Corps.

As I understand his history, g(r)omgoru escaped from the Soviet Union as a child. Also, as the years passed since his return from America, his English noticeably deteriorated. Mr. No’s English doesn’t show those signs. Parallel evolution in vocabulary, I think.
