The News is the non news

Hi Tom
They had started evacuating women and kids from the regions who want to stay with Russia, so I wouldn't be surprized if they fabricate some conflict as an excuse to move their troops in.
Not sure but I think that Hitler did a similar thing with the Poles in 1939.

Good point, Ian, but I was talking about the building that burned with 30ish Russian Putin puppets who worked for the Putin selected previous Ukrainian President. This actually happened on February 22 during protests that led to the Russian backed president fleeing to Russia.

You are correct about the planning of Th Nazi attack in 1939.

Hi, Tom the building fire must have escaped me, never heard about before.

Well Putin has moved into those two pro soviet regions, but no surprise because that move was on the cards.

Sounds more like East prussia 1939 day.

I see we are not alone with the bad weather, the states are under some horrible stuff at the minute, well according to CNN.

We have had three named storms in five days.

I wonder what is Nato and the UNs next move, Putin has put the ball in our court.
Our move!

The answer is hand wringing and blather. While the Chi-coms applaud and continue to plan for Taiwan. Political and ethnic cleansing is ignored by world organizations, corporations, and major news outlets, for the most part, I hope they wake up.

UN could remove Russia from the Security Council as they are responsible for doing away with Ukraine's "security" and jeopardizing world peace.

If the incursion you allude to has in fact has occurred it was probably agreed to by Neville/Biden and stipulated in a presser about a month ago,later walked back to remove the facial egg.

Putin is just laughing at us, he knows that we won't do anything unless Russia stray over into the Baltic states or Poland.
He knows like the Chinese know, we are just blowinging it out of our ass.

I saw an interview yesterday in which this bloke said that Russia has withdrawn 70% money and 40% of its gold from London and other places, so it has planned for this, he also said Moscow does not trade in dollars.

The events coming up will be interesting, will the Ukraine make Russia pay in blood and resists their invasion or will they simply lay down their arms.

I wonder what the Finns would do and even the Baltis states, all of them know about facing the Russian bully.

Russia may not trade in dollars but they are sure selling oil to the US. The clown in our White House has seen our oil imports from Russia increase many fold over the last year above 2019 numbers. The clown is all about asking other countries to increase their production while curtailing our production.

Both Russia and China have got us by the balls, with oil and gas plus plenty of other trade goods, China is waging a trade war with Australia and have even tried to bring Lithuanian into the conflict over Taiwan link

China is very powerful and we all made it so.

They are unique because they are both totalitarian and authoritarian, but their bad habits are brushed under the rug when trade and hard cash are involved.

[yanmacca]

Well Tom, it has kicked off big style in the Ukraine.
The ruskies have invaded on three fronts.
Cruise misiles hitting key targets.

[deadwoodgultch]

If I saw it so did Neville and his advisors. Leading from behind, was done in the 1930's and is symbolic of what we have seen during this as well. The sanctions should have been put on between last Thanksgiving and Christmas. Peace through strength is a concept not understood by our current administration. You could see this coming during the yack session between Biden and Putin last June. You could see the initial underlying principles of this under Obama with things like the off mike moment with a Russian during an off mike moment prior to the 2012 election here(maybe Crimea?) and the red lines Obama just gave lip service to in the Middle East to include  Benghazi. Biden and his family and their ilk have already been paid off.

Yep, global warming is our largest security issue.

The carnage, destruction, and suffering is squarely on the shoulders of the West, particularly on the shoulders of Washington.

What a week, our 95 year old Queen has tested positive for covid and Putin goes "tonto", he has already warned the west that he will give them hell if they stand in his way.
I must admit his speech reminded me of the one Trump gave to north Korea.

[deadwoodgultch]

This would not have happened, in this fashion under Trump. Crimea and Georgia happened under Obama. There is a reason. We have Shits and Giggles as President and Vice President.

Reading between the lines of Putins last speech, he could have been referring to nukes, but who knows, they say he has gone a bit crazy lately, maybe he has.
There were a few anti war protesters outside the kremlin, but they didn't last long, a cop van took them all to jail.
Trouble is Tom, what could any US leader do with a hardfaced and souless man like Putin, he just doesn't care.
I see he went to China a few weeks ago and agreed to keep the invasion till after the winter olympics, as soon as the event was over he struck, with China's backing.
They will also hope for his backing when they invade Taiwan.

This world would be a lot safer if the leaders of Russia, China, North Korea, Syria and Iran wern't so hell bent on causing trouble as it is hard enough living in a world with the threat of ISIS.
