Nobody wanted that pipeline.

They preferred to pay 4 to 8 times as much for LNG from Russia.

FWIW, there are also a GREAT NUMBER of Euchres, millitary-aged, single males, that have run away to other countries, like Canaduh! In the last year, Crime Minister Castreau has brought in at least 500,000 Euchres into Canaduh!

In fact, Castreau has brought in OVER 1,000,000 PEOPLE IN THE LAST YEAR! That is equivalent to the US bringing in over 8 MILLUON PEOPLE in one year!

This HUGE population increase is a major cause of the housing crisis in Canaduh. My rent has gone up 30% from last year! Yes, I am looking for something better and cheaper, but the pickings are VERY thin!

I have unfortunately, had to interact with some of these Euchres. There are currently two males, 25-30 years, living in the same house as I am. They are loud, obnoxious, boorish alcoholics, who both bolted from Poland, where they were working, when they heard they might get sent back home to fight. Too chickensh#@ to fight for their country, they come here and think that Canaduh owes them! At least 50,000 Euchres moved to Calgary in the last year alone!

All I can say is, where are the 'press gangs', when you need them?

From Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment.
A warning to Raskolnikov about his plan.
The same for Putin as he Murders Mother Russia for his plan.
His property!
Raskolnikov asked for redemption, but Putin will not.

“Gallop indeed! She has not had a gallop in her for the last ten years!”

With the cry of “now,” the mare tugged with all her might, but far from galloping, could scarcely move forward; she struggled with her legs, gasping and shrinking from the blows of the three whips which were showered upon her like hail.

...Mikolka flew into a rage and furiously thrashed the mare, as though he supposed she really could gallop

...The poor beast was in a bad way. She was gasping, standing still, then tugging again and almost falling.

Two lads in the crowd snatched up whips and ran to the mare to beat her about the ribs. One ran each side.

“Hit her in the face, in the eyes, in the eyes,” cried Mikolka.
“My property!” shouted Mikolka, with bloodshot eyes, brandishing the bar in his hands. He stood as though regretting that he had nothing more to beat.

“No mistake about it, you are not a Christian,” many voices were shouting in the crowd.

Some of the best writing of all time, written to pay gambling debts.
A great read.

Do you know what “hypocrisy” is?
Every time some Russian infrastructure or generals get blown to smithereens, you war lovers crawl out of the nearest holding tank to cheer and celebrate.
But when Russia does it to Ukraine, it’s a tragedy of biblical proportions.
It’s called “war” for a reason.

Torture sure was an epidemic back then with the USSR....,

and Germans starved Russian prisoners in open pens and sexually abused and murdered millions of women. And they were rough on the Jews as well.
The Japanese conducted human experiments with Unit 731 in Manchuria that would have horrified Mengele and their other tortures were legendary. Galicians slaughtered tens of thousands of Poles in Volhynia, including women in the most horrifying of ways. In the South, Jim Crow was in session, segregation was legal and lynchings and abuse were not unknown. The British empire was no picnic for it’s denizens either back in those days.

Somehow, everything is forgiven for everyone except Russians who finally threw off that system and tried being friends. Why no forgiveness despite them leaving communism behind?
Because our bankers can’t load them up with debt. Their Debt to GDP ratio was 19% before the war compared to 120% for us. They have a no-filing needed 12% flat tax. And there is a bonanza of resources that globohomo wants to control and get back to the Soros plunder of the 90s... that’s why. If they would agree to be an administrative district of DC and London, all would be fine.

Look at her tearfully describing to Congress about the Iraqi soldiers throwing babies out if incubators. Turned out to be a 100% lie.

“When is the formal declaration of war against Russia coming?”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Who needs to declare war?
Russia has already started a massive war without war declaration. Right?

“That’s got to be worth another $24,000,000,000, eh! Even a few more trillion wouldn’t be enough, right! Perhaps the killing of few million Americans would suffice.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What you just said is pure demagogy.

There are no US boots on the ground in Ukraine. So how could Americans be killed?

Secondly, why do you fantasize about America paying trillions of dollars to Ukraine?? It’s not happening.

America has put in place a lend-lease program for Ukraine, that costs about 8% of America’s military budget. Its peanuts. Ukraine can easily pay it back in different ways after the War.
America had a similar lend-lease program for the UK, and the UK managed to pay it all back in 2006.
Andt today America and UK are true authentic allies.
Ukraine is (just like UK was during WWII) of an immense strategic importance for America and the West. Ukraine is not Iraq or Afghanistan, far from it.

For now anyways, 8% of America’s military budget in order to massively weaken our most extreme traditional archenemies is a cheap price to pay to efficiently deplete the deep-state Russian warmongering neocon-equivalent Kremlinist military machine. For each day passing it weakens Russia’s ability to potentially attack America and our allies.
Europe is also paying a lot to Ukraine, thus for our Western security and right to continue to live free from further Russian invasions.

Russia has also invaded Georgia, parts of Moldova, and is now seemingly abandoning the Christians in Armenia, letting the Islamists take over there as well.

Russia is threatening to nuke America, UK, France nearly every day on live Russian TV. Haven’t you seen those videos?They repeat over and over again that Ukraine is just a first step. After that they say they want to take Poland, the Baltic States.. etc... A Russian general says that as well last week.

This Russian-initiated WAR, plus all the extra warmongering by the Kremlin to launch even FURTHER wars against the West is unacceptable.

We are not at war with Russia. Russia has chosen to have a war against the West. For now it does it via Ukraine...

Thus, the infamous GINSCA (Globo-Islamo-NeoSoviet-Commie-Alliance) composed of Russia, North-Korea, China, Cuba, Belarus, Nicaragua, Venezuela and the Islamic State of Iran... must be kept at bay. If we sleep over this, we’ll all regret it.

Now you know why we are helping Ukraine. Because we are also helping ourselves in doing so.

Germany and Japan have 100% reformed. Muskovy hasn't, and no, it's not our fault.

Everything I said earlier is easily verifiable online.
They are public domain accepted facts, no one is contesting them.
If you think I said anything wrong. What was it? I am sure you can’t find it.

So if everything I said is true and verifiable,
why do you say its propaganda?

You may not like what I said. That’s fine. But that doesn’t make my information false in any way.

We are sensible to spend less than 10% of our annual militry udget so millions of Americans and tens of thousands of our Soldiers DON”T get killed by the weapons Russia is burning up in their stupid “war.”

See there you go again with your BS, because you have bought into the propaganda that these wars are designed to make life better & safer for the world. Nothing could be further from the truth. they are nothing but endless war designed to take wealth from the average America & European, funneling it through laundering prosses to enrich the few while saddling the taxpaying citizens with the debt as their wealth is syphoned off. This is exactly why I call you and the rest of the Ukraine cheerleaders useful idiots. Because you think this really is all about helping Ukraine & her sovereignty, & you never learn from past evidence of Vietnam, Iraq & Afghanistan what it really is about,

Your heart is in the right place, but your head is buried so deeply up your sphincter and that gas build up is having a disastrous effect upon the grey matter encapsulating your brain.

I guess t will take the hard way for your to learn. Enjoy your serfdom.
