    The latest is that Turkey is sending the Syrian militants (terrorists) from Idlib to Ukraine's front line. Turkey plays some game there, and I wonder how long Russia will tolerate it. Russia wants Turkey to clear out the militants from Idlib, so Turkey sends them wherever they can oppose the Russians. Turkey has its own claims on Crimea, so their alliance with Kiev right now is self serving.

    American transport planes have been landing in Spain and heading to Kiev packed with who knows what. Russia did give an ultimatum that if certain missiles are placed in Ukraine, they will be attacked. Right now there are serious discussions going on and the alert is very high.

    The head of Stratfor said a few years back, the one thing the Americans feared the most, was a union of Russia and Germany and that our policy had always been to keep them apart. Frankly, I think it was Britain's policy more than ours, but it must have upset the Germans, because it was quickly covered up.

    Vladimir Putin had plans on creating a trading partnership that would extend from Vladisvostok to Barcelona, and he couldn't understand Germany going against its own interests by siding with the US in Ukraine. Later he realized how deep the financial connections were between the EU and US.

    Absolutely right -- and don't forget the entanglements that all of us in "the West" have had with various central banks, like the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and their stooge-organizations, like the IMF.

    Still, I've said for years now that when it's all said and done, there will be three countries ruling over everything of any importance in the entire Eastern Hemisphere -- Russia, China, and the EU, which means, of course, Germany.

    We Americans will continue to busy ourselves for years into the future with tearing down 100 year-old statues, figuring out who can go piss in which public bathrooms, and other blithering-idiot, 'woke' issues of enormous importance. I wonder if we'll even see it coming when we are essentially laughed out of half the planet....

    So you carp about an image which was used to make a point of conjecture in a larger discussion, but miss the point altogether? I'm, like, heartbroken.... :roll:

    The Red line Crossed via a badly conducted false flag operation - complete with full on State Sponsored "White Helmut" propaganda - desperately trying to turn the Islamic State into "The Good Guys" - in the fight against the Evil Assad .. who the "moderate" Muslims of Syria overwhelmingly support ... for obvious reasons..

    For the same reason the American public didn’t realize the Deep State really runs this country with vast amounts of corruption until Donald Trump got elected.

    It’s hard to fathom the US has become just as corrupt as the former Soviet Union.

    Ah, don't give it a second thought. I shouldn't be such a touchy azzhole anyway. I've been in a bad mood all day, and I don't even know why. Anyway, see you on down the line. Cheers!

    It is hard to fathom because it is too stupid to even consider.

    Zelensky is making a terrible mistake trusting Biden, the US is doing the same thing to Australia and small Asian countries here with China...don't worry we're right behind you while we are crushed between two superpowers.

    We know the Americans want to use Crimea as a NATO base against Russia. By bringing Ukraine into Nato, America is not only boxing Putin in leaving him with few options, but also putting all of Europe at risk.

    It already was. Bolshevism did it in 1917.

    Here is some of Zelensky’s cease fire he was yapping about. Lying like a seasoned politician already.

    (To be clear, this is the Ukrainian military firing on ethic Russian civilians in the Donbass)(After Zelensky said he wasn’t and broke the Minsk agreement)

    Yeah, a while back, like YESTERDAY.

    Link? It linked to the video didn’t it? That is Graham Phillips..a Brit that learned Russian. He’s been all over the Donbass and Crimea over the last few years, more than all western media combined.

    So all that thing about the murdered Muslims was some conspiracy? Extreme statements need
    extreme evidence.

    Wikipedia


    The Bosnian genocide refers to either the Srebrenica massacre or the wider crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing throughout areas controlled by the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS)[5] during the Bosnian War of 1992–1995.[6] The events in Srebrenica in 1995 included the killing of more than 8,000 Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) men and boys, as well as the mass expulsion of another 25,000–30,000 Bosniak civilians by VRS units under the command of General Ratko Mladić.[7][8]

    The ethnic cleansing that took place in VRS-controlled areas targeted Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats. The ethnic cleansing campaign included extermination, unlawful confinement, mass rape, sexual assault, torture, plunder and destruction of private and public property, and inhumane treatment of civilians; the targeting of political leaders, intellectuals, and professionals; the unlawful deportation and transfer of civilians; the unlawful shelling of civilians; the unlawful appropriation and plunder of real and personal property; the destruction of homes and businesses; and the destruction of places of worship. The acts have been found to have satisfied the requirements for "guilty acts" of genocide, and that, "some physical perpetrators held the intent to physically destroy the protected groups of Bosnian Muslims and Croats".[9]

    In the 1990s, several authorities asserted that ethnic cleansing as carried out by elements of the Bosnian Serb army was genocide.[10] These included a resolution by the United Nations General Assembly and three convictions for genocide in German courts (the convictions were based upon a wider interpretation of genocide than that used by international courts).[11] In 2005, the United States Congress passed a resolution declaring that "the Serbian policies of aggression and ethnic cleansing meet the terms defining genocide."[12]

    The Srebrenica massacre was found to be an act of genocide by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, a finding upheld by the ICJ.[13] On 24 March 2016, former Bosnian Serb leader and the first president of the Republika Srpska, Radovan Karadžić, was found guilty of genocide in Srebrenica, war crimes, and crimes against humanity and

    Maybe France could invade Canada if the French speaking minority there are under 'threat'
    Better still, send over 'volunteers' with Buk missiles.

    The enigma today is that both Russia and China increasingly practice 'neo-capitalism', but, at the same time, we Americans are sliding deeper into the 'black hole' of 'neo-socialism'.[/QUOTE]
