And in the 19th century, in the US, it was called "Manifest Destiny". So many names for killing people to steal their land perpetuated by so many. And always those guilty of doing so are pointing finger at someone else doing the same thing.
I know! Like what pronouns should we use for them? And if our men wear high heels, will they respect that?
You took me too literally.
QFT! Our current military couldn't fight it's way out of a Hong Kong whore house.
And..............how is the good Secretary's CANCER going???
Pentagon Chief: If Ukraine Is Defeated, NATO Will Be At War With Russia
by Tyler Durden
This is the single most important, dangerous and highly revealing statement from a top defense official in the West in a long time... It also demonstrates the precarious urgency of the moment and the huge stakes going into the November US election. The world truly stands on the precipice of a nuclear nightmare with the following fresh assertion of Biden's Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who said before Congress on Thursday:
What's more is that this came the very day that Russian President Vladimir Putin warned things could easily spiral toward nuclear war in the scenario that NATO sends troops to Ukraine. Watch:
According to the fuller context of the Pentagon chief's statements, he emphasized that more Washington funding is crucial for Ukraine in order to prevent a situation where "one country can redraw its neighbors’ boundaries and illegitimately take over its sovereign territory."
"We know that if Putin is successful here, he will not stop. He will continue to take more aggressive actions in the region. And other leaders around the world, other autocrats around the world will look at this and will be encouraged by the fact that this happened and we failed to support a democracy," he added.
"If you are a Baltic state, you are really worried about whether you are next. They know Putin. They know what he is capable of. And, frankly, if Ukraine falls, I really believe that NATO will be in a fight with Russia," Austin said.
What is even more alarming about this statement is that everyone now knows that Ukraine forces are in retreat at this very moment, especially after the Russian capture of the city of Avdiivka, and surrounding villages.
Bloomberg on Thursday issued a report predicting total collapse of the Ukrainian front lines by summer, as the headline suggests (Ukraine Sees Risk of Russia Breaking Through Defenses by Summer): "Ukrainian officials are concerned that Russian advances could gain significant momentum by the summer unless their allies can increase the supply of ammunition, according to a person familiar with their analysis," the report says. According to more from Bloomberg:

So the consensus narrative and belated mainstream media admission is that Ukraine's military is a mere months away from clear defeat, and the top US defense chief just said NATO will go to war with Russia "if Ukraine falls".
The conflict has reached a dire and perilously unpredictable moment indeed, and clearly the already slim chances of jump-starting serious peace negotiations to end the war are slipping away fast.

And don't forget the Cuban Missile Crisis--
At which point we were about to go to nuclear war because a Russian proxy had nukes 90 miles away from our border.
No, Searcher, you refuse to acknowledge that our cia did a violent “Maiden” revolution including sharpshooters firing into the crowds to overthrow a duly elected government. Who took over who, huh? And then the Ike nazis started shelling civilian Russian speakers in the Donbas, why? Because they spoke russian. Me thinks you have spent too much time inside the circle down in DC... I have talked to a few family related types from the DC pentagon environs - bean counters in uniforms- too obvious they never heard any narrative except out of the Washington Post, ever.
Good Gravy, Jed. I was talking about Russia's view of the world, not DC's. Yes, DC lies to us like breathing. It has NOTHING to do with Russia's own self-aggrandizing interpretation of history.
There are other countries that border Russia that joined NATO already. There is something special about Ukraine.
Russia has been invaded thru the land mass that is Ukraine. Bad experiences with it in the past. Add in the corruption, the bio labs and the killing of Russians within the Ukraine.
THANK YOU.
Yes, it seems that it was verbal. But, if you are as good as your word that does not matter.
yes--it was once part of Russia, and many ethnic-Russians still lived there (or did, when this started 2 years ago). Again, iirc (those of you with better memories help me out here) I believe it was part of the LAST peace agreement regarding Ukraine that this ONE PARTICULAR COUNTRY would never allow NATO missiles to be set up there. (and maybe no NATO troops, too?)
I think Biden et al did FAR more than just make money off Ukraine. They DID over throw the duly-elected govt the PEOPLE of the country WANTED (maybe that was their "practice" for 2020 here)--just as our country has interfered with, or TRIED to interfere with, OTHER elections in other countries. We can't do that and then walk away scott-free and complain that "those other two nations just can't get along! OBVIOUSLY we'll HAVE to intervene!"
Yes, Finland joined in 2023 in response to the Ukraine situation, and that was provocative but Russia did not take the bait. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia were about 2004 but I do not think Russia found them worrisome.
Has Hong Kong hardened and uparmored their whorehouses?? You have me worried now!!!
“Bad moon rising”?? Is this CCR with the bathroom on the right???
While I do not blame you- or haven't read what you wrote, so if you are to blame, I do not yet know it-
I don't believe there is a West, not the way you seem to be implying. There is a loose conglomeration of cliques, cabals, (captured) religious structures, and a certain demographic that controls the levers of power in the West, and that is 100% true of "Nato"; when "Nato" went to war with Serbia on behalf of Muslim herion cartels I knew they were no longer a Treaty Organization but were fully in the camp of the NWO (today known as WEF, though that is just a front organization). Not trying to argue, but I am long past being able to be manipulated by jingoistic USA rhetoric, which currently is coming from the group that control the highest levers of power in the USA. The only worry I have about Russia are the nukes. MY COUNTRY is being invaded by millions and millions. Therein is my concern.
This is not good at all.
