The whole family is on the Russian payroll. End the Right, everywhere. Save the world.
The War of Russian Choosing will only end when Vladimir Puta is dead. If the war continues much longer, and more of their oligarchs start to really feel the squeeze, it might end before 2024.And to follow that up, first time I agree with the neocons.
Exactly. Ex-actly. As with the Right in this country, this is not an enemy you can negotiate with or contain. That will only give them the chance to regain their strength. This is an enemy we must be always driving to disarm and break. This is an implacable, lethal snake we must defang.

The war is not even remotely popular with the public at large. Reports also tell that the war is not popular amongst the plutes there, too. Puta is just too powerful for most to do anything about it. It will take the further dwindling of fortunes for those with the means to finally act. When a dictator does not have the will of the People, they most often come to inglorious ends.There’s no guarantee his successor will be any better but we can certainly hope that is the case.

Pretty obvious which way the world is headed but doesn’t really seem to be any way of stopping it https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-...edented-320-bln-military-build-up-2022-12-16/
This is a needed check on potential Chinese aggression in eastern and southern Asia over the next decade. Particularly given Putin's actions in Ukraine, sending Xi a message now is a no-brainer. The US military can't be expected to fight everyone's battles.
Maybe this is a misunderstanding on my part but I get the impression Russia, China, Iran, NK, etc have a lot more interest in destroying the west than improving their own lot.
In the early weeks of the invasion, Joakim said, "they were close" to winning the war, but poor decision-making from the Kremlin cost Russia its expected quick victory. He pointed to Putin's ideological convictions, rather than poor intelligence, as the main reason for Russia's failures, according to the interview.
"We put a lot of the blame for this on Putin's shoulders," he said. For instance, he cited decision-making among a small group of his allies that was not shared with others until the "last minute," saying that caused confusion among the troops. Labeling the invasion a special military operation rather than a war also backfired, as only certain troops could engage in combat until Putin ordered a partial mobilization of reservists in September.
"These are pretty small factors that ended up deciding the outcome," Joakim said.
He added that he believes Putin is still interfering in the military's conduct of the war. He described a recent meeting with his military leaders in December as "the worst idea in the world."
According to Danish intelligence, Putin is pretty much going Full Adolph on Ukraine.
Never go Full Adolph.
