What scheme? This is all a tragic cause and effect of a broken worldview in the form of liberalism, which at its core gets a tremendous amount of things wrong about human nature itself (State of nature, Blank Slate, etc). A very profound and a very dangerous issue indeed, that has influenced...

It’s a mass movement of people caused by the abject stupidity of a political whilst being ruthlessly abused by some of America’s enemies. That’s bad enough. But I must press, where the tanks at?

So…not really an invasion?

It’s a mass movement of people completely absent of military command structure (if not unity at all) and compared to barbarian incursions in the ancient world they’re a bit shit at pillaging. They do not have an Alaric. They’re adventurers for certain, but they aren’t quite conquerors. Just...

Look, it’s a huge, possible nation moving problem, but “invasion” isn’t quite the right word and comes across as far too emotionally charged to the normies. These are not Sea Peoples, Goths or Vikings.

To be honest if I were Zelensky I’d probably have gone to D.C myself to harangue the GOP and the DNC. I feel like something to the effect of “You promised to help us. Yet my people are dying and you sit here playing politics” might at least give some of them a needed nudge.

Poland is preparing for war, and not a moment too soon. Warsaw has an ancient score to settle with Moscow after all. Edit: Also, France and Poland? The Napoleonic dream team is getting back together!

A brigade is a bit more than that, usually containing multiple battalions. Perhaps a few thousand men or so.

Various atrocities aside, Russia is not going to live this mess down for the next century. The Black Sea Fleet has been devastated by an enemy that didn’t really have a navy to speak of in the first place.

Russia. Functional Do you see where you went wrong?

I unironically believe corruption devastates IQ because enough of it cuts a person off from reality. Therefore they do not observe/are oblivious to reality until reality batters their door down.

Stop thinking they're far smarter than they actually are. That sort of paranoia is not good for your mental health. Edit: They're a bunch of fat cats waddling around in the liberal daydream known as "the End of History." They are not a Council of Sith Lords out to enslave you, not nearly that...

Nah it's Jihadis I reckon. We saw something similar happen in Paris back in 2015. This is not out of character for them.

I'm guessing we've all heard about this? I've taken some big fat shits on Russia recently, but how utterly ghastly. All those poor people.

As much as they are being logistically strangled by silly politics games in Washington D.C, Ukraine still does have the ability to really hurt Russia.

The apotheosis of Putin’s stupidity: He’s made a martyr.

That…that’s a depressing thought in of itself.

That’s basically my point. Hence my “put it in a separate bill and we’ll pass it” suggestion. Could break the deadlock, shows a willingness to cooperate, and puts the ball firmly back in the Democrats’ court. It’s utterly disgusting how both sides are playing politics with the lives of...

Speaking of foreign aid, is there any news on the current dysfunction in the American Senate? I understand things are messy at the moment but Ukraine needs that aid now. And it’s not like the GOP doesn’t have a get out clause here. Just say to the Democrats “look, we’ll be bickering over the...

Well put. For Kyiv it’s about the very survival of the “Holy Ukrainian Fatherland.” For Moscow its about the restoration of the Empire. These two goals are so diametrically opposed, that neither side can back down until the other breaks. It’s a fight to the finish and anyone who says...
