What kind of oddly-baseless assumption is that???

I was kind of hoping that Jeff would conflate music with geology and sing us a song.

Finland officially became the 31st member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on Tuesday, marking a major shift in the security landscape in northeastern Europe that adds some 1,300 kilometers (830 miles) to the alliance’s frontier with Russia.
The Nordic nation’s accession was sealed during a formal ceremony at the NATO headquarters in Brussels on Tuesday.

> Proving that NATO membership had little to do with why Russia invaded Ukraine.

Of course not. Russia needs Ukraine to remain viable economically and militarily, and will make up whatever excuse its needs to in order to justify this invasion

With that said, Russia is not suicidal enough to expand their invasion, and WE GAVE THEM HE GREEN LIGHT TO INVADE UKRAINE WHEN WE ALLOWED THEM TO VIOLATE THE BUDAPEST MEMORANDUM IN 2014

So yes Putin is evil, but we have no reason to now be involved in a conflict we were legally obligated to stop when they annexed the Crimea, nor does it make any sense to defend on corrupt government against another, especially when alienating Russia is a far greater threat to Global stability since this will create a new Russia-China power axis .

So what else is new? You expect anything different in the globalists’ new Cold War II arms race? Unlax, this is just the beginning. This will be ongoing until WWIII, sans the proxies, begins.

Well, if war between the US and Russia does break out then you might want to find a place to hide. Regardless of who is in the White House those who sided with Russia against their own country will be the object of requisite and likely uncomfortable scrutiny.

BTW, that’s not a threat on my part, it’s just how this country always rolls. It’s also basic human behavior.

Ok, you’re right.

Someone needs to make you in charge of foreign affairs.

Thank you. I deeply admire humility and intellectual honesty.

I won’t soon forget this.

Wagner... We have captured Bakhmut...

Yahoo News... "Fighting raged in and around Bakhmut as Ukraine mocked Russian claims to have captured the 'administrative' center of the eastern Ukrainian city, saying Russian forces had raised a victory flag over "some kind of toilet"."

The Russian flag flies over a toilet. How appropriate!

Typical neocon dipshitery. There will be NO place to hide. Even if you’re 500 miles from a blast or fallout, you’ll starve to death in short order from EMP consequences. Wow, sounds like you’re angling for a junior G man badge. Are you making a list and checking it twice for your FIB handlers? I can only assume you’ve put Jim Rob on your list for allowing dissenters to you administration hacks to have a voice.

‘It said Finland’s move marks “a fundamental change in the situation in Northern Europe, which had previously been one of the most stable regions in the world.”’

Well, you know, a wise man once said “don’t start none, won’t be none”.

“Is there a history of ‘Russians’ in these other countries being abused? I don’t believe so.”

It would be invented as soon as the Russians wanted an excuse for a military intervention. And gullible people would fall for it.

Deny history all you want. I know my history and how people react to existential wars is eminently predictable.

In WW1 Germans in the USA were forced o change their names, people were rounded up and departed, others were jailed, people killed daschunds with glee as sympbols of the German Kaiser.

In WW2 Germans, Italians, and Japanese were rounded up and imprisoned without trial, some were executed, many were imprisoned in actual prisons.

This is what happens.

It is not a threat on my part to state the facts of history and human behavior.

If it makes you uncomfortable that you might face official and unofficial reprecussions for adamantly supporting an avowed enemy of the United States of America then this is a you-problem and not a me-problem.
