Putin offers a cease fire and ukraine is not going to agree to the same?
36 hours is better than nothing dumbass's. take the reprieve from the killing and rest at least
Won't be long now at the rate we are going.
I sure hope he makes it back home safe. If something happened to him on the way here or back , the nato escort would put all in nato into the war if they took action to protect him.
1 missile,1 bomb,1 shooter,and we would be full into the war.
I am curious as to how much the netherregions has given and will continue to give, being they are a little closer and will be glowing in the dark quicker than us when putin is finished with his invasion.
That war can't be won.putins mind is gone and he has gone mad. He will continue it until nukes are used.he has nothing to loose,he is dieing. What part of that is so hard to understand?
That war cannot be won, that's true, but it can be lost. 'Winning' just means Putin stops attacking Ukraine, Ukraine remains a free democratic country and can start the long process of rebuilding. Losing means that Putin takes Ukraine and starts planning for the next country. Don't YOU understand that?
Maybe you don't see Russia as a threat anymore, because they are not communists anymore, but a fascist oligarchy, which is what you prefer your own country to be? Or is your brain just fried from watching to many Russia-funded grifters?
HAD Ukraine kept it's nukes,it would be safe and sound right now,because before they gave them up, they had MORE than Russia.
I know the old saying, the clothes don't make the man and I would understand if he was in a military setting as in being on the front lines with his troops,being in uniform.But he is not in a war zone,he is as safe as he has been in almost a year and he is still dressing as a combatant.
Good leaders are made by character, vision and perseverance, not by a suit.
Really? He has been safe for almost a year? Russians aren't trying to kill him?
In the post to me you just said "That war can't be won" and "they are a little closer and will be glowing in the dark quicker than us". Who has the biggest risk of that?
You would hand Zelensky over to Putin today. What do you think would happen to him?
Ok,ideally if the US was going to get involved in that war to start with, I would have sent in elite military or cia forces to take out PUTIN, first and foremost.
THEN sit back a while and see what happens.
We have special forces and for some reason they all have been on vacation for the past year it seems.

Zelinsky was trying to show how dire his country's fight for freedom is. He has to dress in fatigues, ready to join the fight. He must have hit it right. He got several standing ovations by a joint session of Congress.
Is it starting?
WRONG. We may as well be over there by the 1000's of planes and bombs. Go ahead and get WW3 started and over with.
No need to worry about global cooling I mean global warming, I mean climate change, just nuke the damn place and finish it off.
Leave it for the cock roach's.

sounds inhumane and horrible to say leave it to the roaches. THat is what is going to happen if things are left to the Russians.
No one wants that for anyone.
But if we don't get our grimy hands out of that war we will be dragged into it and Lord help us when san fransico or new york are hit by long range missiles. 2 or 3 nukes on our west coast would prompt radioactivity to the whole nation thanks to the jet stream.
Now what do we have here?
another damn mess brewing.
While we as a nation have the weakest leader in history,our military stockpiles are depleted thanks to sending everything to ukraine and now our troops are in danger in syria along with the battle against terrorist isis.

as for biden threatening china, that is like a chihuahua barking at a T Rex dinosaur with rabies.
Bullshit,they are waiting for the right time to strike again.
During the first Iraq war a former coworker was there and had Saddam in his gun sights and was denied twice of taking a shot that could have ended the shit MUCH QUICKER.
Poor fellow's mind was messed up afterwards as he got injured when a mine went off as he was toting a wounded solder out of a cave.
We didn't kick ass, over there. Sorry,I can't agree with that. Sure we have good men and women in our military,we have the nicest equipment,we have big dreams and ideas as a nation, but the bunch that heads the military, is NOT the best. IF they were any good, Afghanistan woulda went differently.
Never mind, I guess we did not overran Iraq. Saddam was not ever thrown and hanged. We lasted 20 yrs in Afghanistan. We did loose the war but, we left with our heads high. We are not the first to fail and, surely, not the last.
Human habitation in Afghanistan dates back to the Middle Paleolithic era, and the country's strategic location along the historic Silk Road has led it to being described, picturesquely, as the ‘roundabout of the ancient world’.[25] Popularly referred to as the graveyard of empires,[26] the land has historically been home to various peoples and has witnessed numerous military campaigns, including those by the Persians, Alexander the Great, the Maurya Empire, Arab Muslims, the Mongols, the British, the Soviet Union, and most recently by an American-led coalition.
I know alot of folks.and sadly more that are no longer with us.
Your dad was in WW2, I am sure he may have told you about what he saw sometimes or some of the things he did. Some things he probably never spoke of.
You may mock me but you should have some understanding of hearing history from those that lived it instead of wrote about it.

I think the US and the world is going to eventually regret all the money they have been sending as they will wish they had it to deal with the fall out of a nuclear plant going up.
don't forget ukraine bombed poland last week.Now germany is offering them arms to protect themselves from it happening again.
jane was a no count bitch and a traitor.
Trump Is a business man that tried to save America. and I HOPE he gets a second chance.
I want someone that will ask questions before handing money to country's overseas.
Until china released the virus to destroy the world economy, ours was doing well.
CAT--We all want that, but it wasn't due to the Clown's actions.
Phart-- I want someone that will ask questions before handing money to country's overseas.
CAT--Is there a particular country you are talking about and what questions do you mean?
Phart--until china released the virus to destroy the world economy, ours was doing well.
CAT--You keep suggesting China released Covid on purpose. Why would you seriously suggest something like that?
The Clown got lucky. He wasn't that good. Really, he wasn't good at all. 👿
2, all of them.
3,Yes, I feel like it was released on purpose and unless the chinese present the people who made it and they say other wise,I will still believe it was a terrorist attack on the whole fucking planet.
So to think they would release a virus, not far fetched.
Also, you might consider the fact that they may not have wanted it turned loose in china,but to the rest of the world.
How much easier could it be to take over the world if half the population is dead from a virus??
OR if we were going to be involved, we should have went ahead and sent in planes with bombs and such and took out the russian forces before they got any further in.
We are aiding and abiding,no different than the driver of the bank robbers car.
We should have either went in or stayed out,because we are in now,half way. kinda like a calf hip locked in it's mother. We are there until a tractor and a log chain show up.
Either deal with the situation head on or back off.
you do know putin has cancer in his intestions and gut. He fell down some stairs last week and shit all over himself. Which I don't feel sorry for him don't get me wrong. but he is not far from death, so he may wake up at 2am in pain and just say fuck it, then all our efforts and those of allies will be wasted .Plus our allies will be greater danger from the nuclear fall out.
So putin was looking at attacking Japan. Wow,over a few islands.
BUT 1 bit of text stood out from this link.
"“The whistleblower detailed movements of electronic warfare helicopters targeting Japan, while Russia's propaganda machine was also initiated, with a huge push to label Japanese as ‘Nazis’ and ‘fascists’.”
We read and hear those words used to describe our own members of government. I am thinking it just the same as calling someone the n word or something.time for those words to go away.
They both fall down stairs and shit their pants.
Leaders of the 2 most powerful countrys on earth.

Is it time yet to cut the purse strings or do we keep feeding the beast?
It was not that long ago I felt like Putin was doing a reasonable job of leading his country. Then he went and did this shit. Now he can't rot in the ground fast enough to suit me.
BUT before he does die, you can bet he will nuke ukraine and all the death and suffering will only then begin.
Gee now that the city's are liberated, the government wants the people to move away?
How and when will they get a chance to rebuild and who will protect their homes and property while they are away and what guarantee is there that they will be able to ever go back home?
Not a good thing to do, lie about a missile that killed people not even in the same damn country as your enemy.Is this a round about way of starting WW3?

They need money to cover a deficit, DUH we have 1 TO.
"And we need money for oil and coal for the winter heating season". Damn dude, our people are paying thru the fucking nose for gas and you want money from us so YOU can buy some?
and like the link mentions, haven't you heard of climate change? You are asking democrats for money to buy oil and coal while we are having electric cars driven up our ass's over here.

In Oz we sell oil, iron ore overseas only to buy it back at 3x the price... So go figure cause no Aussies can.
I think most are happy not to fight the current and just swim with it
big bad Russians. Now the Russians are actually being very aggressive and planning
to not stop after Ukraine, Ukraine is doing the dirty work, while really hurting your biggest enemy ever. This is the best spending to thwart Russia that America has ever done.
You and other right-wingers defended your bloated military budget several times.
AND NOW YOU WORRY ABOUT THE COSTS?
It's clear that you don't understand it's your issue too.
Strange how fast the right-wing perspective has changed on that.
Trump really changed the party and its followers. I might like this part of it.
It would be interesting to see how long it will last, after Trump.
The military industrial complex will probably want to change it soon.
What do you see as the concession?
That Trump wanted less international meddling from the US?
It depends on how you shape it in the future.
I'm all for the US doing less territorial pissing with Russia.
Like the whole tugging war with Russia over Syria and Afghanistan.
Trying to bring democracy to the middle east was pointless.
But that wasn't the real reason. It's just superpowers trying to get influence and oil.
I would want those people to have democracy and freedom, but they should decide for themselves that their system doesn't work for them.
However, Trump also proposed to just seize Iraq's oil and said:
'It's not stealing, we're reimbursing ourselves'
Like Iraq ever asked the US to attack them.
If that's a sign that the US will still do wars,
but only for the benefit of the US and nothing else,
than the US is of no use to anyone and you're on your own.
Relations were already cooling down a lot during Trump's presidency.
It's time Europe is taking a hard look at it's values and it's responsibilities
and act on them. It might be the only way to save humanity, because it looks like
the US is not going to do that.
The lives wasted were mostly theirs and the money the US spent was not to help them, but to control them and take their resources for free or cheap. But you're right we cannot fix their lives, we can just stop destroying their lives. Too bad we keep destroying the climate and make their countries too hot for human survival. Before you say they do have some responsibility, because it's their oil we burnt causing climate change, they didn't have much to say against it. The US put in their authoritarian leaders and Europe agreed with it, because we love oil too.
There is some truth to it. Before Russia attacked Ukraine, Europe didn't like the US meddling with the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. However that started in 2019, under Trump and at that point it was just an anti-Russian trade argument.
It's not that we liked to trade with Russia, but it's now obvious how dependent we were on Russian natural gas. Putin knows that and that's why he threatened to stop the supply of natural gas, if Europe resisted against his attack on Ukraine.
I have no idea how much Biden was 'egging on' European leaders to cut the use of Russian natural gas, that's all behind closed doors, but at some point European leaders were very unified in the sanctioning of Russia, by stopping the use of natural gas.
I do think about what would have happened, if European leaders had decided to sanction natural gas and oil from Russia way sooner, like when Putin was gathering troops at the border of Ukraine, under the pretense of exercises.
But, I don't think it would have stopped him. It's pretty clear that he has been planning this for a long time. It might be that his health was forcing him to do this before he was ready. He was clearly not ready. He caused a lot of destruction, but he has actually achieved nothing, besides the downfall of his own country.
I don't know when he will stop, but he will retreat in defeat and shame eventually. Ukraine will be helped to recover, but Russia will be a pariah for decades coming and their power and economy will be diminished for a long time.
Personally, I do see an upside from natural gas and oil being ridiculously expensive. It will hurt, but we will need to loose this addiction to fossil fuels soon and this is a good incentive to do that. Leaders need things like this to get off their asses and do something. I hate that they needed a war for that, they should have acted way sooner, but this might prevent way worse suffering in the future. We are also dealing with a massive Ukrainian refugee crisis, but that is also a good warning for what is coming when climate change will turn huge areas inhospitable for human survival. I might even be thankful, that this all happens under a right-wing government, showing their complete ineptitude to deal with any crisis. I hope people will wake up now and start electing leaders with wisdom and foresight. However, my hope is very small, seeing how Italy elected a true fascist.
Going back to the article, This is really the worst part:
"It would have been much easier to not have blindly followed Biden’s anti-Russian dogma knowing that the European economy is far more integrated than America’s with that of Russia. Dogmatic and ideologically-driven European elites might like the idea, on paper, of switching out Russian gas for what a U.S. official once described as “molecules of freedom”, but cheap Russian gas is what ultimately built Germany into an industrial powerhouse and has enabled Europe to compete with the U.S. Now, that global playing field is being tilted in Washington’s favor at the expense of average European citizens who get stuck with the bill for exorbitant anti-Russian virtue signaling."
It's not virtue signaling, to stop trading with an aggressor with a plan to conquer most of Europe. That's really detached from reality. European citizens will suffer much more from a war with Russia. The sanctions are necessary to prevent that. A large majority of the European citizens understand that.
You may not like who tells you crap stinks,but it does not change the basic fact that crap stinks.
Do you understand that fossil fuels do not grow on trees?
There is not enough of it in Europe to sustain the European economy.
Every country providing fossil fuels has 'issues'. Look at Saudi Arabia.
We laughed because Trump did not understand that.
Not being dependent on horrible countries for fossil fuels, means 1 thing:
STOP WITH USING FOSSIL FUELS.
And I'm sure Trump did not tell Europe to do that.

A few states like Texas,that are talking about seperating from the USA are saying so because washington has abandoned them first. the US government should be protecting the US borders there and the citizens of that state and the entire country from the criminial impact and economic impact of illegal immigration.
There are no "Blue" states,only "Blue" citys.
Look at at a detailed map and you will see clearly,a few cities dictate what is happening over the entire country.not entire states,just citys.that is another reason for people getting tired of the failing union,no repesentation.

think about that,you own a 10,000 acre farm,and someone who rents a 2 room apartment that pays little to no property tax dictates how your farm is used on a national level. that makes no sense.The city folk do not have much stake in anything but run it.
You just liked him, because democracy isn't working for Republicans
and you want an alpha male like Putin coming in, turn over the will of the people
and destroy the freedom of blacks, the LGBT, women, the press and working people
and let christian extremists turn the US in a theocratic dictatorship.
You understand Putin is a fascist now, because it's not your country
doing horrible mass murder in a country that didn't attack anyone, this time.
Therefore you don't see it, for the biggest fan of Putin; Donald J. Trump,
who also loves other fascist dictators, like Kim Jong-un and Mohammed bin Salman.
Your principles are Anti-American and it's recognized by Putin.
The average farm pays about $4,900 in property taxes.
The average American pays $2,471 of property taxes.
Do you think farmers have a reason to cry about that,
while they own many times the space city folk do?
Farms support about 29% of the US economy, but most of that
is created by the city folk, working in food factories.
Farms are important. But maybe the farmers should understand
that Republicans are doing nothing against climate change
that is worsening droughts and heat, destroying their business.
The MAJORITY need economical fuels and food.
NOW.
Except when the small minority group is billionaires.
Then you expect the majority to give up lost of worker's rights.
Workers used to have the right to unionize. This is busted by employers regularly.
That's why they cannot afford food and fuel now. And it's not a low %.

In Ukraine now you've got fibua,tank battles,you've also got cqb,that besides the hi-tec armaments.
So In war, who kills the most of the enemy is not always guaranteed to win.
I've just heard,that China and quite a few other countries have told their people to get out off Ukraine asap
Now if putin has decided to use a nuke strike, who as been warned by NATO if he does the retaliation will wipe out his entire.millatry by use conventional weapons on a scale what's never been seen before..
I support that message to Putin and I would support that strategy.
Putin knows that, so that's why I don't think he will do it.
takes off the heat on him and lets his enemies fight among each other.
Tecsan, the owner of the topic, isn't and many others here aren't either.
But, I'm done with the deviation and wouldn't mind sticking more to the topic.
Still, I don't support the message that Russia is the worst offender ever.
Russia had no right to attack Ukraine and they are doing horrible atrocities, but my standards on the legitimacy of war and the disapproval of dictatorships, war-crimes and fascism, are the same for all countries. I see all legitimization of the actions of Russia or against the right of Ukraine to defend itself as within the scope of a topic about Russia and I think you do too. I also saw a link with Putin trying to strengthen anti-democratic trends everywhere he can. Don't you acknowledge that at all or do you think it's just not applicable to this topic?
Ukraine has lost the war , they just don't see it yet. They think if they keep shooting and killing that they will win .The world thinks if they keep supplying weapons that that will fix the issue All it is doing is weakening other countries to make them vunerable. Our own weapons stock pile here in the US is dwindling ,along with our oil reserves.
If the US is going to supply weapons, they should have just went ahead and sent military personal and so on to actually make a difference and stop the blood shed faster..
Their city's are bombed to oblivion, their women and children r@ped and slaughtered, and you think they are winning? Wake up., there are no winners there ,just losers.
Are you saying he would push the button, because you would do that?
Or just because you only understand 1 dimensional good and evil?
What do you consider losing? Ukraine is winning back territory constantly.
And what do you propose they do, surrender?
It's people have had to run to all ends of the earth to escape the war, the city's are bombed to oblivion. The only reason it has not "fell"is because the rest of the world is propping it up because they can't or won't deal with russia directly. The US and nato allies are using ukrainians as their hired guns to try to take down russia.
I admire the people fighting in ukraine,but they are being misslead to think they are "winning" as they dig up and rebury their dead familys and stumble around in their bombed citys.
see here,I am not stating bullshit.
The entire civilized world is running low on weapons trying to help ukraine.
only registered users can see external links
The whole of Europe would have been 'The Third Reich', if the 'free world' didn't help then either. What is your argument? Let Ukraine fall, to save weapons, for when Russia comes for the rest of Europe next? That's like sacrificing a foot, to keep some antibiotics, for when the flesh eating bacteria attack the rest of the leg.
If there is any time where a country is allowed to protect itself and should receive military aid from its allies, it's when they are attacked, without provocation, by another country that seeks to eliminate their autonomy.
NATO was founded to protect the modern world against being annexed by the Soviet Union. Ukraine is not a NATO country, but they are the front-line of Russia's renewed expansion drive. NATO countries decided it's in their best interest to fight Russia in Ukraine, instead of letting Russia advance to the borders of the NATO alliance. You're right, the motives of NATO are selfish. The best way to stop Russia is to make them fail in Ukraine. Do you prefer a war between Russia and NATO?
I thought you were worried about nuclear war?
The Ukrainian people are asking for those weapons. The US is not the only one paying for them, almost the whole world is funding the war effort.
Even if the entire civilized world is running low on weapons, that's not an argument to stop the supply to Ukraine. The US has the biggest military industrial complex in the world and should have no problem outproducing Russia. It's probably what finally will force Russia to abandon the war with Ukraine and their expansion drive. Producing weapons for the civilized world, is the role the US agreed on and makes a lot of money from. If supplies are running low, the US should do a better job.
Stop selling weapons to Saudi Arabia. They are killing innocent civilians too.
And they are not trustworthy and might sell those weapons to Russia.
Ukraine is using guns, hand-grenades and mortars against the Russian troops.
Do you think a war between Russia vs Europe and the US would be fought with guns, hand-grenades and mortars? It would be either battleships, bombers and fighter-planes or nukes, and none of those are running low in the US.
I'm sure the weapons the US is paying for, are either on loans to Ukraine.
If not, the true leaders of your government decided that it's in their best interest to keep supporting Ukraine. If you actually still care about your national debt, which you didn't before when Trump gave presents to the wealthy, take solace in the fact that your wealthy make lots of money from those weapons going to Ukraine, whether they are paid for by Europe, Ukraine, future oil and natural gas deals or just by your tax-dollars. That's how you want it right?
Or did you want normal people to benefit from those tax-dollars, all of a sudden?
That would be a complete 180 for you.
RUSSIAN WARSHIP GO FUCK YOURSELF. 🤣🤣🤣😈
Depleting our oil reserves ,depleting our military stockpiles, and straining relations with other strong, heavily armed country's is not helping matters at all.
Don't you get it? I do feel like we need to go ahead and end the shit now or our troops ,perhaps members of YOUR family will be drawn into the conflict and DIE.DO you want that?? I doubt it.
The Russians are spending lots of money, resources, patience of their people and goodwill from their allies on a war that they are not winning.
At some point they will be forced to stop.
Sooner the better for all involved.
RUSSIAN WARSHIP GO FUCK YOURSELF. Is all about the war with Ukraine & russia..and also 97.5% of post,have been what posters opinions are and what they seen or heard about the war,So I would assume not just me but other posters know exactly what the title thread is all about...🤔🤔
"The 8 post above have fuck all to do on this thread,as previously,So unless it's about Ukraine gains,& how many orcs have been killed,equipment destroyed start another fking thread"
I, too, re-read the first 8 posts and, frankly, directly or indirectly, they all refered to the Russo/Ukrainian war. No one questioned the bravery of the Ukrainian military nor the stalwart defiance of the Ukrainian people. You, are the only one suggesting that.
Let me say this, though, the title of this thread, as Tecsan titled it, leaves a lot to be desired and the follow-up too.
Now, may I suggest that if you don't like other member's opinions, you should go out and establish your own thread.👿
Look who else is pissed off at russia.
Now what do we do? do we support the taliwackers in the taliban or?
The US loves selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, which are Islamic extremists too.
So, good question; do you keep selling weapons to people who hate you?
The Russian people never asked for this, but they are fed 24/7 fearmongering
about the Western Imperialists, trying to corrupt all their former allies.

I hear Putin is at the end of his life and he wants to be remembered as the great leader who reunited the once great Russian empire. He can do what he does, because he controls the media to constantly brainwash all the Russian people, he silences all opposition and he pays off the families of all the dead Russian soldiers.
Putin is a fascist, plain and simple.
It takes a psychopath to make an empire. But he is not getting his hands dirty.
Dictators need lots of loyal followers to commit the atrocities and spill their own blood just as willingly as the enemy's blood. That takes some convincing.
Putin is using his media apparatus, to lie the Russian people into doing that.
How would you call that, other than 'propaganda'?
The Soviet Union did not sign the Geneva Convention, but Putin wouldn't give a crap anyway.
True, I do like to politicize every thread. However, what is more political than international war?
Do you think that anyone would disagree?

This is the biggest nuke plant in Europe
Yesterday, russian invaders once again shelled the territory of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, nearly missing the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel. If that storage were to be damaged, it would cause a catastrophe on a planetary scale
Said no body.
Yea, but meanwhile be sure to not charge your electric car during peak hours and eat your veggies.
And then ,as the last few minutes of your life pass by ,you will think, "you mean I ate healthy, sold my mustang, gave up luxury's for the environment and then some asshole has to blow up 1 of those things? This sucks!". and your flesh will start to drip from your bones and you will pass away.
all the sacrifice, all the arguing for climate change action will be for nothing.
Live your life to the fullest, there very well may not be a tomorrow.
So electric cars are only 11% of the solution and not all of them need to be electric to reduce catastrophic climate change. A lot of other progress is necessary to reduce the 25% of CO2 emissions by electricity generations, 24% from industry, 13% from buildings and 11% from agriculture. Ever heard anything about that or are you just listening to media that is only focused on cars, to distract you from the actual problems?
I don't know when a Russian or American president decides to end the world.
I just know that I have no influence to stop them, so I don't worry about it.
It might be tomorrow and then everything we do now is useless.
It might be in a few years and then at least I did my part to be productive.
Or it will never happen. Maybe someone decided not to listen to his superiors.
As far as we know, the world was saved twice before by people like that.
It would then be a pity if humanity still perished due to climate change.
Strange how you feel sorry for those astronauts in the space station.
How about people on earth? Looking death in the eye is worse than dying?
They are not the only ones who will see the destruction of the planet & know in time they will die. Many people will not die in the blasts immediately, but know they will die of radiation poisoning. There might be some rich assholes in a nuclear shelter, who might survive longer. But even though I loved the Fallout game series, I find it unlikely they will ever repopulate civilization again.
Fallout is just a game, nuclear war isn't.
But it is useless to be afraid of something that might never happen and you are powerless against to stop.
Climate change is different; it is already happening and we are not powerless to stop it. It just takes a lot of effort and money, from rich and powerful people, who don't want to use their money and put in the effort, to save humanity.
Most of them are old and therefore don't care. They can shut out the suffering of everyone else, in their air-conditioned mansions or on their super-yachts.
And then they buy a Tesla to ease their conscience. Because they know...
3rd paragraph,They will be the only person to see it,but you always want to take you perspective on it,so people in say Amsterdam will see the destruction say in Eindhoven,no they wont,those above see this little planet in a vast space,the guy who dropped the bomb on Japan was never the same man ever again knowing what he done.
4th paragraph,couldn't give a fk,always been like that and will always be the like that,no one will change that ever,
But just like to add seeing you know me so well(well you do think I listen to the MSM and take the bs they serve us)..well surprise I've got a brain & it thinks for it self,AUB
I'm not going to buy an EV yet either, because they are too expensive to buy and I don't drive enough to make that investment rewarding. However, I just drove an electric car and really liked it. They drive very quiet and smooth, but they accelerate fast. Electric motors are just better. The batteries are the only problem, but if that's improved, why would you still be against them?
Just stubbornness?
I don't watch or listen to ANY of your corporate media, because they are all owned by rich people. It would be a pleasant surprise if you don't watch that shit either, but that is no guarantee that you are capable of recognizing real information from lies and propaganda. There is a lot of that on the internet.
(A tip; you can recognize fake news websites from the banners all over them, advertising bogus medical products, telling you 'the pharmaceutical industry wants to ban this, because they will lose millions' and then they try to sell you some jar of berry extract for $59. If you trust information from websites like that, than you don't have a brain capable of thinking at all)
However, I do see you worry about ACTUAL problems, unlike phart who is fearmongering over the earth spinning a few milliseconds faster. So I agree with the problems you bring to the discussion. I just don't see how you can come to the conclusion that climate change isn't real, without consuming and accepting a lot of horrible lies. Now, I understand that some lies are pretty elaborate, but most of it can be destroyed easily with critical thinking and some are just childishly stupid. And when a claim is also supported by childishly stupid, obviously false arguments, why would you even trust the more elaborate arguments? Just recognize on which side the liars are.
I tend to trust the claim that is consistent with everything I researched on the subject and that just matches with my personal experience of winters without snow and ice and fucking hot summers, with grass turning yellow everywhere and people being asked to conserve water, while in my youth I was used to freezing my nuts off in winter, inclement weather in spring and fall and having summer holidays ruined by weeks of clouds and rain. It's just so obvious.
There is only one way for humanity to survive; not enable those dangers.
You are promoting several of the dangers that could destroy us all.
Maybe not promoting those dangers is a good idea?
There is no reason to fear dangers. Fear paralyzes people.
I prefer to engage those dangers and eliminate or reduce them
or at least support the people who strive for that, instead of the people
who aggravate those dangers.
Many people just like you died in hurricanes, floods, fires and power outages during cold spells, so you are very fortunate to be indestructible.
When you need to solve a problem, you start with the low-hanging fruit.
That's transitioning away electricity generation from fossil fuels to renewable alternatives, which are also much CHEAPER. And the most cost effective method to lower CO2 emissions at the moment is just insulating houses. Especially in Europe, where natural gas is scarce and very expensive.
I have a very fuel economic petrol car and since covid, I drive it at maximum
3000 miles per year. It would be throwing money in the fire to buy a EV now. However, I drove an electric car not so long ago and liked it a lot. My next car
will probably be an EV, because I'm sure they will be much cheaper then.
But that's really how life feels to you, isn't it? Everyone is coming to get you.
It's not like I don't care about the nuclear threat.
But people have been living under that threat since 1947.
The doomsday clock has never been farther from midnight
than 17 minutes to midnight (in 1991). We are still alive.
They want you afraid, because your fear serves them.
Release your fear. It's used against your life.
And it is used against doing anything productive in the world.
Because no one actually does anything to eliminate the feeling that we are in danger. Nuclear weapons in and of themselves are never meant to be used again. Japan suffered horribly and even the lowest of people don't want that. Putin even said there is no winners in nuclear war recently. The nuclear weapon is meant to be a deterrent against aggression. Ukraine was foolish and gave up their nuclear stock pile and you see first hand what is going on in your back yard. Do you think for 1 minute Putin or anyone else would have invaded Ukraine knowing full well they could push a couple buttons and take them out?
Eliminate the feeling of danger.
I just said, they want you to be afraid.
'They' are all the politicians who get rich of donations from the military industry
and media stooges that think of war as 'good ratings'.
The 'feeling of danger' is in you. Eliminate it yourself.
Sit down with Kim Jong Un and ask him point blank. "sir,why do you feel you need nuclear weapons"?
Trump,the man you and other's hate so much,is the only President to take a moment of his time to actually SPEAK TO north Korea's leaders in decades.
Why do I feel afraid? Because I know in Iran right now,and probably afganistan, that there are folks planning attacks to kill possibly me or my neighbors.Instead of solving that problem by blowing the hell out of those places, we played patty cake for 20 years and left afganistan 1 of the best militarys on earth,at NO COST TO THEM>!Those people are fanatics,YOU Ananas,are the very kind of people they like to blow up or injure ,naive, unprotected.
Because, climate change is 100% guaranteed and nuclear war is just a risk.
There is no gain for anyone to use nuclear weapons. Remember, the US is the only country to ever use them, because you were the first. Now all sides have them, no one dares to be the first, because no one wants to be obliterated.
I am actually most worried about the US using them first, because you seem to pick the dumbest presidents. Putin is evil, but he is much smarter than your presidents. He played Trump like a violin.
There is no 'solving' the nuclear threat. The US chest-thumping is not going
to make them cower away. Everyone is already doing sanctions.
What is your big idea to solve it then?
The US created the terrorist threat in the first place, by overthrowing governments and installing religious fanatics, just to steal the oil from under the feet of the people who live on top of it. You are also arming Saudi Arabia, that scared Iran into wanting nuclear weapons and then slash the deal the whole world made with them. Afghanistan was just the country that Osama bin Laden fled to. There was no reason to do a genocide there. The only reason it's now a terrorist hellhole, is because of the US. I cannot see how the US could have created a bigger terrorist threat, if it was your goal from the start.
and certain slowly building damage. Maybe this clear it up for you.
What would you choose of the following options:
a) 1 round of Russian roulette with 1 bullet in a 10 bullet revolver.
b) Having a finger amputated each year, then next two toes each year, then one foot each year, then one remaining hand each year and after that each year a bullet aimed at your dick by a poor shot at 5 feet.
Lets say option b isn't optional, unless you pay $5000,- each year.
Care to pay or take the punishment?
That's the situation with climate change. I'm not saying it's free to prevent it, I'm saying the alternative will be worse. Maybe 'a finger' is worth $5000,-
to you, but it will keep getting worse.
If you remember, in the Bible, there was a fellow by the name of Noah, He started building a ark. People told him he was crazy, it wouldn't rain.40 days later, They all drowned. Fable or fact the point is that We are trying to tell you that a nuclear bomb in the hands of a psycho is a much greater threat to us at this time in which WE are living , than a few cow farts.
as you glow in the dark drinking your last morning coffee, don't forget to charge your electric car during off peak hours.
but you think it applies more to Putin using nukes than climate change.
Do you understand the difference between a CHANCE of absolute death and destruction and the CERTAINTY of slowly increasing death and destruction?
You are missing that point entirely.
I told you before that I completely understand the threat of nuclear war.
Putin can assure all our deaths tomorrow, if he so pleases.
DO YOU KNOW OF A WAY TO STOP HIM?????
And is this incredible threat any reason to not fix any of the other threats?
You are the one denying threats!!! AND THOSE ARE PREVENTABLE!!!
And maybe they won't affect us NOW that much YET, but it will affect us more each year. However, we all have to start doing more NOW, to prevent the damage and suffering becoming worse each year.
I'm not the one living on a hurricane coast or in an already fucking hot area.
I'm not interested in useless fear, I am talking about SOLUTIONS!
You and I will not be on 'the ark', when the 'rain' comes.
Last I checked, we were not called Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos.
Do you have a super-yacht to hide out on, in the safest places?
Or a space program and plans for a space station?
Do you want to drown or stop 'god' from 'drowning' everyone?
ananas2xlekker said this. What about joey, obummer, carter, clinton etc.
And they are all carefully considering their plans.
Trump just does something and then keeps doubling down,
even when it explodes in his face.
And he is way too arrogant to listen to anyone.
Elon Musk has bent over backwards trying to keep Ukraine online and that has helped it's citizens and military greatly.
BUT when Elon proposes a way to save Ukrainian lives, he is told to Fuck off?
I think I would just take them off line a while if I were Elon,
Seems quite ungrateful of them for all the Americans have done for them thru this horrible invasion.
It is quite obvious they would be under Russian rule already had it not been for the US and others helping them.Being they didn't have enough sense to keep their nukes.
Its seems musk has a habit of interfering which he knows nothing about but gets the response by clicks,maybe he likes to think he's important and make potus one day who knows,
For me Ukraine should never give up this war,until every fking orc who invaded are fking burned alive,blown to bits,throats slit the murdering rapist shower off cunt to walk this planet,fking slaughter the lot of them orc cunts..
is definitely not his greatest strength.
Right-wingers just think everyone who is incredibly wealthy must be absolutely brilliant. They are not, but they like everyone thinking that. It's very easy to keep making money, when everyone keeps blindly following them, even when they are obviously fucking up
a lot too. But most of the very wealthy either started out already rich or they were just lucky to make it to some wealth. On a basis where everyone thinks you're brilliant,
it's not that hard to become even more wealthy. Narcissism is what you need most.
Just fuck over your workers, funnel the losses of your mistakes to your customers, suppliers and the taxpayer and you'll be (one of) the richest people in the world.
Just look at the top 10 wealthy and think: "Which one is actually that smart?"
You can't help but wonder,what if they would just give putin a couple areas and maby,just maby the sumbitch will die before he trys to take any more and the new leader will have some common sense and more respect for life.
Did you think of that yourself or are you parroting Russia-funded right-wing grifters?
Don't you still understand those guys will say anything for money?
No difference what's going on in the Ukraine now,
If they didn't invade they be peace so doesn't matter if more die hopefully the murdering rapist orca,Ukraine are fighting for their families and land,
Has for musk your views saying Ukraine are being disrespectful,there seem a lot of reports that he was paid by usa government for his starlink..and not him personally.
Who knows
We finished up with the 🇷🇺professional army, and now it’s time to defeat unprofessional” - Gen. Valerii Zaluzhny, a Commander-in-Chief of the Armed forces of Ukraine.
This is after Putin called up 300k men& boys,to go to the front,2weeks training to become a trained killer 😂 I doubt they will see the 15th or 16th days when they get there,straight in the meat grinder
Grammar!
Who used the fbi for political reasons last night?
The democrats love putin and his power and are trying to mimic his methods to take hold of the US and take it back to the stone age.
Bernie sanders probably jurks off to putin
The #Russian plan in a nutshell is to take #Donbass, and then relocate all their forces South, because they're still hoping to take #Odesa. That's a fact. So, our window of opportunity to take the South is while most of their forces are tied down in the East. They have been moving forces from #Zaporizhia to #Donbass, and this whole flank is weakened. The way to take #Melitopol and #Kherson is through partial encirclement, allowing the Enemy a corridor to escape. Fighting in the cities
themselves.
with civvies around is not what we want to be doing. We need to consolidate our counterattacks and hit their flanks as well as their rear, with the help of partisans and infiltrators (giggity). Greatest salute to our boys in the East, stiff upper lip and pass the ammunition.
you're all heroes. The longer you hold them, the more time we'll have here in the South. Your sacrifice and courage will never be forgotten.
Canadian fighter words in Ukraine 👏👏
Only for a few months from now when putin is on his death bed seeking revenge ,he will unleash nuclear weapons on the country and all the death and sacrifice will be in vain.
This is a unwinnable war with someone using their country's resources and men to fulfill a final wish before his death and I doubt he will stop for anything unless HE personally is stopped.
But for me you've got to stand up against bullying cunts,if that's going to war or on the streets,
I respect all volunteers who gone there,some to pass on their skills & experience in helping fk the aggressors out off their country,
I've said previously,they knew the consequences before they signed up for it,
Ukraine foreign legion are 100% ex military,I also said Putin could use chemical or nuclear at some point,which I still think he will unless hackers stopping the launching of them,And that will be the end off russia,
Only this week,I met a guy with a mate(ex army) abit of a stitch up,
Asking me would I be interested in going overthere,No I said to old,
He told me my skills are need,& the money offered was unbelievable,even told me there a place in Europe were I can hone my skills before going there,
All you can do is stand them down by loosing 1000's of your own people.
I can't see how ukraine could have suffered any more by just surrendering early on . 1000's would be alive,citys would still be standing,etc.
IF Russia walked away right now,dropped everything and just took their balls and went home, Ukraine is a disaster area that will cost billions of dollars and probably 20 years or more to rebuild.
And on top of that, ukraine had plenty of nuclear arms they could have sat on and never been invaded in the first place. Russia would know they were a formidable enemy and left them alone.But no the dipshits gave up their protection.
Similar to leaving the doors unlocked at a school. Just open for attack.
Seems to me that all three are about the same. We just throw taxpayer money at whatever. It makes the current regime look bad. But did biden need help making himself look bad?
biden and his cue cards. I wonder if a cue card told him to fall off his bike?
I want to do the job of writing his cue cards for a few days.
Hehehe, I could have him saying all kinds of shit.
Like in all wars,companies make huge fortunes,whilst people are dying,Here in the UK not that far back the labour party wanted us to do away with our nukes,& not spend money on upgrading to the modern system,well thank fk they never got it passed,
Only this week our chief off General staff,stated this is our 1937,and British forces must be ready to fight the enemy Russia in Europe,he also said tech doesn't get you across a river,but high tech gives you the advantage,
Which am happy with his comments,unlike marcon the french guy who said we shouldn't embarrass Putin,yeah right just let him get on killing the innocent for fk sake,
Not getting political but when trump addressed NATO,stating other countries up the defense budget as the USA is not a handout,now all are upping their budgets abit late for me,

Here is a video that explains that neutrally, with no defense of his actions.

I can't believe the world watches these atrocities while putin laughs. Biden showed weakness pulling troops and putin has seen a window to attack. Ffs once the Ukraine is conquered who next. NATO mean shit..
FUCKIN DO SOMETHING
NATO would never step up. Europe has always been filled up with do nothings
Do we want that?
That is why no one has done anything or said they would do anything PUBLICLY. I can't help but think that somewhere there is a secret plan going to "take care" of putin. I mean why do we have green berets and Seals and all that if we aint going to use them? Send 4 of em in and find and flatten.
This whole episode is a big disappointment to alot of people. Russia was becoming a more respectable country.Mcdonalds,Coke,and other big companys were investing there, citizens seemed to be living better than ever there in Russia,putin was acting like he had some sense up to a few months ago.
BUT here is something to think about,

Look at the womans chest. That is the "BLACK SUN" a less popular than the Swastika for Nazi. This is a UKRAINIAN woman soldier.Now back up to when Putin started this shit, it was to denazify Ukraine. Are we being told everything??

Pisses me off the post runs off the edge and you can't read it.
Don't believe the propaganda that Putin would care about Nazis. He has many traits of a Nazi himself and intolerant, ultra-orthodox, right-wing fanatics run Russia's church.
I am surprised you care. That Azov regiment is very similar to your proud boys;
right-wing nationalists, who arm themselves to protect themselves and their country.
You might like them and they might like you too. At least a lot more then me.
Biden is weak, true! Trump is an irresponsible, selfish idiot!
In the current situation, Trump would be worse; either useless or disastrous.
Putin preferred Trump and tried his best to help him win, because he knows
he could outsmart or buy off Trump.
Biden is doing much better than I would have expected him to do. Much better than Bush or Trump would do. Only Obama would have done better, because he was the smartest US president in my lifetime. They say Bill Clinton had a higher IQ, but when I'm judging his actions, I don't believe that. He started the change that turned the Democrats into what they are now; almost as corrupt as the Republicans.
The future looks bleak, either the Republicans win next time with a true fascist
or the Democrats win with another corporation approved weakling.
In either case humanity loses.
Money may be the reason why biden is doing so little.
We know there are plenty of older American fighter planes mothballed that could be sold to Ukraine for a dollar apiece to make it all a "legal" business deal and not be legally considered any type of "military aid" that would prompt russia to declare war on us. biden could encourage drilling and do things to get our oil supply back up to par.
But he is sitting on his ass.
Remember when chuck schumer was on the tv hollaring for Trump to do something about high gas prices a few years ago? Why aint he hollaring now at biden?
"Money may be the reason why biden is doing so little."
OFF COURSE! He doesn't want to upset the DONORS!
And everything is blocked by Manchin, because of his coal company
and by Sinema, because she suck off her donors like a cheap whore.
Like Russia cares about whether the aid to Ukraine would be 'legal' or 'illegal'.
Are you kidding?
About the gas prices. Sure Democrats are hypocrites too. Other than giving away oil rights to very profitable oil companies, there's not much a president can do about oil gas prices. The oil prices were higher in 2008, but the gas prices are lower. They are screwing you and the only way a president can affect that is (to threaten the oil companies) to set fixed gas prices. But no Republican will vote 'yes' for that and many Democrats neither, because that is considered communism in the US.
There are signs oil companies are willing to ramp up oil production. A Dutch company called Fugro is in the business of collecting data about oilfields.
Their stocks are going up, after years of decline, because they just got a new multi-year contract with QatarEnergy as part of a redevelopment project on the coast of Qatar.
your oil reserves, while you previously wanted him to use them.
I won't deny gas prices are high, but they have been higher before and if you calculate the affordability it has been much worse. In 2008 you payed much more for gasoline, because the dollar was worth more and people's wages
were lower. If you calculate that in, gasoline is not at all at its peak yet.
You would say this if it was Trump in this situation.
Oil companies are halting drilling themselves. They are sitting on 35,000+ unused oil wells and 9,173 approved and available permits. How does a president force private companies to do what they don't want to do, in a free market? Are you asking for communism?
Basically Biden wanted the oil companies to pay more for those permits, to pay for the costs of climate change, so there is a battle in court now.

But, he also approved more permits than Trump did.

If the US needs oil, I think Venezuela would be ready to be on your friend-list right now, because your sanctions are hurting them hard. They have so much oil and so little demand, at some point their petrol price was incalculably low. It was 9 cents per gallon on April 11th.

Pipelines are for transportation, they don't increase production.
They are intended to transport the oil of Canadian tar sands to the US.
This is what happens to nature, for that almost useless crap:
It's true that Biden is stopping drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, pending an environmental review. Do you think every piece of nature should be destroyed? Humanity is destroying the planet WE LIVE ON, God damned!
Those trees are making the air you are breathing now.
Trains wreck and tanker cars could dump oil into residential water supplys. Trucks can wreck doing the same.A pipe,doesn't move much,can be checked and repaired.

Contrary to what these liberal scientist say,wildlife ADAPTS to the changes made by humans.
Why is it an argument to say 'we dump oil here, so why is dumping it there a problem'? Destroying nature is happening everywhere and it's a problem everywhere. Brazil is cutting the rain forest for farming, Indonesia is cutting forests for wood and paper and Canada is cutting down forests and than leaving a barren wasteland, for almost useless tar sands.
It's YOUR priorities that are killing the world, that sustains us all.
It's choosing profit over people and gas over air, that is killing humanity.
Your second link refutes your own point. Did you only read the stupid quotes from Republicans in there, that the article later destroys?
People are planting trees, but much more are cut down. No one will plant trees because they like to. Countries that are cutting their forests need to be forced to stop. Oil companies that are RAPING the earth, need to be forced to stop. You are supporting a party that doesn't care at all about planing trees and only cares about companies making profit and giving part of that profit
as bribes to their politicians. So, no, that way we can't plant more trees!

A nuclear war will probably end it all because no one has the balls to get rid of rocket man and those iranians that are hell bent to kill us all.
Mad Max like dystopia.
The Earth will probably be fine, after humanity is gone. Nature had it's chance to kill us, but failed again this time. Fauci should do a better job, because this attempt failed. But, now that vaccines are politicized enough,
a finely tuned virus is the perfect method to get rid of all the people who are holding back progress, because of a stupid reason like money.
Nice how humanity is stacking up all the methods of self destruction.
And nice how you are only worried about inflation and high gas prices,
which the economic system you prefer is completely responsible for and
which gave the lucky part of humanity wealth and prosperity for a while,
but which is now causing the end of humanity.
Unfortunately, humanity has not evolved from apes enough, to save itself.
Maybe the descendants of cockroaches do better, a billion years from now.
a bit more diesel and a lot of heavy hydrocarbons that don't burn easily. Some tar sand oil mines are even running at massive losses.
The alternatives are ALREADY much cheaper than coal, oil and gas, but it takes investments to get them running. The infrastructure for oil is already existing. Another reason is that fossil fuels are massively subsidized. That is just giving away money to the oil industry, which is already making a few people extremely wealthy. Investing in renewable energy is not giving away money, because they give a return on investment. Using fossil fuels is just burning money.
Even if the electricity for charging an electric car comes from coal, an electric car is still double as fuel efficient. The internal combustion engine is just a wasteful messy technology to get a car moving. However, transportation is only responsible for 30% of the total energy demand. Industry is where the big changes should come from.
You can bring up the carbon footprint of different oil drilling, but like I said honestly do you think other countries even care...Think they are in it for the money and you know it as well...Mighty weak brandon is, I mean who the hell sends the POTUS to voice mail...They are saying FU and I think you know that too...The US has cleaner oil and LNG, so what the heck is the problem with sleepy uncle joe...I know you like him and why should you not, watching this Country sink like the titanic...He is busy lining hunter's and his pockets...Hell, does he even know what planet he is on???
As for lithium, alot of it will be needed to supply your renewables idea? mining of any sort can be messy.
Now we are captives of big oil.if your dream comes true we will be captive to big lithium. Which will STILL be coming from our enemys.
And as for lead batterys , apparently no demand for lead as it is down to 16 cents a pound scrap.

This page mentions national security issues by being dependant on outsiders for the components of electric cars.
Since no one wants to go back to the stone age, that's the environmental damage most people think is unavoidable. Let's hope the remaining environmental damage our demand to keep the way we live intact still allows for low enough emissions, to at least have humanity survive.
If world leaders had taken the problem more seriously and started the energy transition frigging decades ago, when science was already pretty clear about the problem, it wouldn't be so urgent now. However they decided to take the same fucking lobbyists serious, who said cigarettes are healthy (because they brought lots of cash with them).
There are no easy answers. Either we choose to stop the business as usual or it will BE stopped by reality kicking in the door.
When oil is burned, it's gone forever. That is a waste much worse than any alternative. The devastation to get it is getting worse, whenever it gets more scarce. But, besides the direct pollution, it also causes the earths CO2 concentration to rise. Nature stabilized that carbon over hundreds of millions of years. Releasing that carbon unstabilizes the natural balance, that has been created over the past millions of years. That will create another massive extinction event, like the earth has seen every other 100 million years or so. It might even be permanent, because all previous massive extinction events were 'natural'. The earth has never seen a force as destructive as humans.
I am just reacting to people deviating from the topic.
"95% of the valuable metals from the battery's black mass can be recovered with our cutting-edge hydrometallurgical recycling process"
I know,the moderator will jump me about this but I found this and it relates to our discussion above the moderator
That is good news on the battery recycling. I have made contact with a fellow that can get battery cells from nissans, and you can match up cells and get the voltage you need,in my case 36 volts,and the pack weighs about 20 pounds.
This discussion would fit better in the Trump/Biden thread.
When the energy of my solar panels is not reimbursed anymore,
I will get some battery station as well. I'm also thinking about putting
an XL solar panel on my shed. It's just the challenge of finding a micro converter that can talk to my system and take more power.

I Understand that next year by this time American troops will be on the ground in Ukraine and other places as WW3 gets into full swing.But this fellow had already served.He did more than alot of folks did. He was married and his responsibility's were to care for his family.
Every US soldier fighting anywhere has been told they were protecting democracy.
It's your justification for the collateral damage of millions of civilians.
And now this guy fighting, by his own choice, against tyranny, is irresponsible?
Don't you think he decided this fight was especially important for democracy?
What changed in your head to think this war is less of a fight for democracy?
Sadly,the US couldn't win a war with any 3rd world country right now,we have no leadership.
The collateral damage could stop at any moment, at any time,any where in the world,if people would understand what some of us have been saying for several years now. ALL Lives Matter.
Our choices will affect what message his propaganda contains:
1) "All NATO countries united against us, from liberating Ukraine from the Nazi's."
2) "We have completed the liberation of Ukraine from the Nazi's and NATO countries were too gutless and divided to hinder us in any way. Lets now liberate Poland!"
Which of those 2 options conveys our strength better, do you think?
What shows more leadership from our part?
Maybe you don't know, but Russia was on our side against the Nazis in WWII.

Putin calls them 'fake news', does that sound familiar?
I was giving those two propaganda options, because phart feared that American guy killed in Ukraine would give Putin a reason for propaganda.
Putin doesn't need a reason. He is creative enough to make up complete lies.
Lies are just as effective in motivating uninformed Russian people and to redirect
the blame away from Putin, who attacked Ukraine, to any of Putin's targets.
He's obviously worried that someone would like to help him have an accident,
but you can be sure he has surrounded himself with like-minded confidants.
