stts2's politics thread

[stts2]

Breaking news flash: As the fighting in Ukraine rages on, the danger level in the rest of the world rises and rises. Now back to your regular programming. Hah. Programming. That's exactly what the liberal media is doing to the more simple minded. Oh no. Did I just go politically correct?

Anyways, bodies on TV are not so shocking any more, and the media party machine is dying to amp up Hollywood greatness, following a year of "Trump Virus" shut down (Pelosis words). So no more war talk. We got Met Galas and White House Correspondents Dinners and Oscars and Emmys and glitz and glamour and living the great life that we live. Oh wait. I mean they live. I mean rich American people that have all the power. I don't live like that and nor does Ukrainians. Oh its hard to keep my head strait. The tale of 2 Americas. Or is it 3, 4, or 5 Americas. Hah. I guess that means there's a unity problem floating around. Yup, among many other problems.

But the point is, the world is starting to tune out the outrage on the other side of the world. The west is war weary, and mostly seen it all before. So this thing should be over pretty quick. After all, the Ukrainians got no sensible army, their economics are kinda in the dump, and Russia is not taking no for an answer. If it were only that simple...

The fecklessness has drawn this out way longer than reasonably expected. Now actors from all over are flooding in to get a piece of the action. Bringing arms, manpower, and unexpected frustration at the invaders. And that news flash that started this off? The longer this goes, the more danger the world is in? Yup. That's what happens when the invaders have nukes. Its bad enough that Russian tanks pop off like a jack-in-the-box. But pile on attack drones, hitech missiles, space internet, and Howitzers? My oh my. The world is racing in to max out the pressure cooker.

Clearly that insane lunatic that runs Russia is becoming furious about all this. And its unknown exactly why Putin has done very little to stop the arms resupply. So we are looking at 1 of 2 events heading this way:

The first, Putin ends the invasion and withdraws the Russian army. Ukraine will then have world access and will go on an arms acquisition spree (buy or beg) to fully arm their country. Putin will then expect to get all the sanctions lifted so Russia can make money again. But Putin has to know that there will be no more trade with Russia, and the world will put endless pressure to hand Putin over for burning at the stake. Also, Russia will be on the hook to actually rebuild the country of Ukraine. This will be the ruin of Russia for decades to come.

The second event, Russia never gives up and wins by hook or crook. Russia says fuck the west and lives off the spoils of Ukraine. Makes new business in the east, and builds an eastern alliance that gives Russia strength and respect. With Nukes and gas bombs, the end of the invasion is TOTALLY up to the Russians.

And I highly doubt there can be a coup. Any other leader to take Putins place would be on the hook for reparations that would ruin Russia for longer than anybodies administration. So Putin holds a job that is now radio active. Even if Putin just dies. Everybody would loot the treasury and vanish into the hills. Sort of like what happened in Germany. Back then, the world took control. Carved up Germany, took the spoils, and left everybody else to be poor backwoods farmers. It was made illegal to even build a German factory.

So with western leaders ignoring the insanity and beating the war drums to impress voters, you tell me. When do you expect the nukes to go off?

Ex-spies and diplomats say the Biden administration needs to 'shut-up' after NYT report about US intelligence helping Ukraine kill Russian generals

https://ca.yahoo.com/news/ex-spies-diplo...04578.html

It would be smart if everybody went out today and loaded up with all the groceries you could stuff in your pantry. Stuff that keeps if you loose power. And you need a ton of water. I have tanks in my basement all filled up with over 300 gallons of water. Drinking half a gallon a day will last me a long time if I didn't find more water. My basement sump is always full of water and its hooked to the toilets. So I can flush my crap without using a drop of fresh water. And I have 4 generators and 50 gallons of gas in a barrel. Weather is mild so I wont need much power for awhile. I have 6 battery powered inverters so I don't have to start a generator just to flush a toilet. Actually just dumping a bucket of water from the gutter flushes the toilet very well. So I am all tricked out to be ready for DoomsDay. What do you got going on?

Folks, the libtards are going to get alot more people killed than have already died. Its already in the works. Putin is NO DOUBT furious. He does not have nukes at the ready for use in Ukraine. But that's all changing right this minute. Russians have NO DOUBT been ordered to pull tactical warheads out of storage and assemble onto munitions. They still deciding what to do first. So they are no doubt assembling a variety of responses. Various ballistic missiles and cruise missiles to be ready for a variety of targets. They are also quietly powering up all ICBM launch capabilities, to be ready when the tacticals go off.

We have gone and admitted direct involvement in the sinking of Russias flagship. There will be a response. And its going to be fugly. No doubt, the polish border will be nuked. That will end the resupply and punish Poland hard for their interference. At the same time, the Russians will be gunning for one of our boats somewhere in the world. A flagship. One of our 11 carriers. Out in the middle somewhere so that its not a mainland USA attack. Maybe a dozen nuke cruise missiles and also sub nuke torpedoes. But our subs are hunting too, so maybe Russia will keep their subs out of it. Who knows what insane people will do. But its clear they will strike back. I can only hope they are not insane enough to try to hit the states. You never know with insane people.

But they can win the war by hitting Poland, a US ship, and very loud warnings with all ICBM silos open for the satellite to see. After that, they rain down hell on whats left of the Ukraine. Maybe with chemical weapons. Its all up to the Russians. Despite the medias propaganda, the Russians are running this shit show. And there is no path at all to turn back now.

Oh, and the UK is the second biggest target. They will be hit too. Russian subs may be used to target a big British ship. Nuclear strikes in the middle of the oceans. Yup. Ruskies can send a big nuke there. Wipe out the whole damn battle group. Payback for all the tanks and Generals that the West has helped kill.

I went and voted the little primary Tuesday. Voted all the Conservatives. But it wont stop this war. We threw away our hope of peace when we let the libtards steal the election. Now we all gonna pay the piper in some capacity.

[stts2]

May 9 is a big day for the militant aspect of Russia. That's tomorrow. That's why I made sure I got supplies topped off, cash plucked out of the bank, and all my various batteries charged up. Even my LED bicycle light makes an outstanding flashlight and power source. I am expert in electronics. So I can even rig my camera batteries to power anything else including TVs, if I needed to. I can use anything holding a charge in a pinch. So no power goes to waste. Preparation is never a waste and you never know till it hits.

I have friends that went to the Kentucky derby. I blew it off. This could have been a very bad weekend. And besides, I'm still mostly avoiding crowds. Trump did a rally nearby. I have done all his rallies within a hundred miles. Till the virus hit. Then I locked myself away. Since then, 3 friends died, and many acquaintances. Other friends are still getting sick right now. But it seems the dying has mostly passed. I have had all my shots. I didn't know if the cure was any good, but I watched carefully till I was sure it wasn't dangerous. I work a night shift in a plant with no no night shift. I refused to be around anybody. I'm a crack techy. And as such I put together a 25 watt UV germ killer. It will burn the skin off your arm. So I was sure it killed all covid germs on all the work stuff I had so touch. So you see, I have never been infected. I didn't want my brain attacked and loose taste or any other brain function. Because my life is my brain. Without is I'm just another hill billy easy to hypnotize with propaganda mumbo jumbo.

Propagandists still trying to post about the mostly "good" people of Russia and how things will soon be alright. Here's a story I found that talks of these sweet sweet people. They sound so normal and well adjusted. Like this quote here from the story: "It's good you are close, close in my heart, but you are far, serving our Motherland, protecting us. I'm proud of you!" the letter said.

That letter is a love letter from a Russian woman to her soldier man. Oksana Rybakova and addressed to Aleksandr Logvinenko. Left behind in a Ukrainian house, that was used as a Russian command post, and left in a destroyed state. Along with the letter was piles of Russian documents and Ukrainian identity papers. People just don't leave behind their identity papers. They are vital to occupation in any land. Authorities have moved in to determine if these papers belong to the dead people in the mass graves of Bucha. Roeters reporters Contacted the woman in the love letter and she admitted that she wrote the letter in support of her mate. When reporters told her that her mate was at the scene of genocide, she took back all that she said and stopped talking. Here's the link.

https://ca.yahoo.com/news/russian-paratr...57511.html

Yup, its pretty clear that the plain and good people of Russia have had enough and are just about ready to revolt against Putin... Bwahahaha

And if you believe that too, maybe you should be checked for covid damage to your brain...

And in other news, the Italians just found out that Putins $500 Million dollar yat is actually worth $700 million. And that was the last straw. Its now worth it to them to try and seize it. Its been fueled up and ready to go. So expect a flash news bulletin of a "green men" strike force raiding the marina and stealing that yat away with machine guns. No doubt suddenly surrounded with heavily armed speed boats, as it books away from Italy.

You know, this huge shit show is spawning a myriad of smaller side shit shows. All these obscenely expensive Russian toys are being seized like its a done deal. From other insanely rich Russians raised in the Russian way of life. Likely people that have buried their fair share of bodies to get where they are. Only fools would think its a done deal. Rich Russians are going to be hard at work to get their stuff back. Hiring mercenary teams to strike and grab. And the Kremlin with their usual denials. So who has the balls to try to buy up this seized treasure trove? Or should I say who's will be the first balls cut off for buying any of this Russian property? As you use it all over the world, your life is in endless danger. Possession is 9/10s of the law. But mercenaries live by their own laws. Especially Russian ones.

Of course all this is puny news if next week is the start of nuclear war. And that's just what the libtard media wants, as they keep posting really aggravating news to try and incite more violence. Just because its news doesn't mean its totally factual. The media finds a person that leaks anything at all. Calls them a confidential source to evade laws, then they gang up and endlessly quote each other to create the illusion of a world wide calamity. And it's all legal and will end up being the extinction of mankind if laws don't control that inciting behavior.

Anyways, tune in next week for the newest chapter of... "The Shit Show", if you can...

[stts2]

The tale of 2 super powers. Or maybe 3. Hah. But Ill keep it to 2 for now. Or everybody will claim to be super powers. So once upon a time we got 3 bears. Opps, wrong book. Kids stuff is all over the place. Anyways, Once upon a time in a land far far away... we had another lunatic that went ape shit. Hah, bet I had you on that one. He was a mean and nasty old fart named Saddam Hussein. And he pulled the same stunt that's been going on today. That second rate copy cat. Anyways, he spent months massing his army and talking smack until he did the unthinkable and pounced. Kuwaitis were in shock but well prepared. They all had full fuel tanks, fresh tires, and plenty of snacks. So when the day came when Saddam barreled his way in, the Kuwaitis jumped into their BMWs and booked it for the next country. And that was the end of that. You would think the Ruskies would have learned something from that. Hah.

Chapter 2. The Iraqis are in party city. they are stealing every damn thing they find in Kuwait. Just like the Grinch was doing in Whoville. Those Iraqis must have watched that instructional video dozens of times to be ready to get it right. It was like ants going back and forth, as stuff headed back to Iraq while war supplies flowed in. Those crazy Iraqi opium farmers never had it so good. Finally seeing what all those poppy plants they give away can actually buy. I bet Allah was sick to death of hearing Allah Akbar for the zillionth time for every item Iraqis carted away. And maybe that's why things were heading for a big change.

Yup. parties never last. Aint that a shame. So while Iraqis were counting their chickens, the American Army started to amass on the other border. And all the nasty saber rattling from the head lunatic couldn't stop it. So Iraqis started to dig in. They called in all the reserves and had plenty of time to turn Kuwait into a mighty fortress of world power. The likes of which Kuwait never once dreamed of. At least that's how the Iraqis always saw it. Even in my state at my university, Arab students were going nuts with excitement about what Suddam was fixin to teach America. Saddam was hated, but he was hugely respected by the Arab commoner. Not so much by the Arab elite that understood his buffoonery.

Anyways, as written in history. It turned out to be the laughable mother of all retreats. Brought to the free world by weapons tech innovations. First off, GPS had just been invented by the west. The Arabs didn't have a clue what that was. As such, Iraqis had to travel on the roads because sand storms made you lost in the desert. Meanwhile, the Americans ran high speed out thru the sand and encircled every Iraqi division it could find. And Americans had no problems finding them all. Fast Jet maneuvers smoked out the battery radars, then blew them all up. Then the rest of the pounding started. Satellites spotted everything and made targeting a piece of cake. Within just 42 days, the hitech American weaponry had obliterated the old style Russian arms the Iraqis were using. And that was a time before drones were invented. The droneless war. And we still mopped the floor with them.

Fast forwards 30 years later. The IBM 8086 PC is now the I9-7980EX PC. That's my baby.  And all that new tech is powering todays war weaponry. Or so you'd figure. The west has got all kinds of super cool war stuff, that's like a book if I tried to list it all. And the Ruskis pride themselves to being able to steal everything we ever made. So you would think that fighting the Ruskis would be kinda like fighting ourselves. And they always have military parades to show their newest stuff. So what the hell is going ion in Ukraine??? Why doesn't any of this make military sense? Why is it a friken shit show?

Well, as they say, actions speak the real words. And we been getting all new words from the actions going on in Ukraine. After 30 years, Russian tanks don't seem to have GPS in them. And they seem to have old phones from like WW2 for communications. Even downed Russian jets are being found with hand held GPS units taped to the dashboards. The drones are a hitech thing of todays age and they are looking impressive in both style and function. Forgetting about Americas drones, countries like Turkey are making drones that are like the bees knees. They got it going on and working as well as the American ones. So whats up with Russian drones? A bunch of those have been captured and they are little more than the radio controlled planes I used to fly when I was a kid. Granted, if it kills you then its good no matter what it looks like. But the thing is that its so low tech that it is poorly capable compared to What Turkey supplies to Ukraine. And why all the carpet bombing? Cant laser bombs and missiles be used to hit the military targets, to disarm Ukraine quickly? Like that Neptune missile factory Russia didn't bomb for 2 months? Wheres all the hitech stuff ment to utterly crush the enemies?

Downed Russian fighter jets are being found with basic GPS 'taped to the dashboards,' UK defense minister says
https://www.yahoo.com/news/downed-russia...53887.html

And then you got this other story going on about world officials chasing after the most obscenely expensive boats that's ever been invented. All owned by Russians with questionable means of income. And with paperwork that's all twisted up to hide who the Russian owners are.

Well the big view of this kinda gets you wondering. Gorby was a sacked ruler, and hes only got $5 million to his name. Putins got the same job and the lowest estimates of his wealth is $100s of Billions. And all his crony friends are equally buried in money, from the yats they "seem" to own. Government money from the taxes of the people. Squirreled away into private bank accounts. It could be that Putin has enough money to privately run the American Army for an entire year. That is some serious chump change swept away.

By contrast, US Congress screams emoluments crimes when Trump merely hosts UN meetings at his Washington hotel, Clearly, American taxes are well funding the war toys we are now being begged to give to everybody else. Remember the Kuwait war? Kuwaitis begged for help and we rushed in and gave it. To the tune of over $60 Billion dollars. And We were stuck with the bill. After it was all over, quiet outrage welled up to get our money back. And after long long negotiations, we got $16 Billion back from Kuwaitis. The oil kings. Diplomats had to cast wide nets to rake in more reimbursement. As Usual, Germany and Japan were roped in for more WW2 reparations (Hah, it never ends for them). They combined for another $16 Billion dollars. The Saudis also Kicked in $16 Billion and lessor amounts from a few other countries. So our final Bill was about $7 Billion dollars that was unreimbursed. And very few deaths on our side. So we wrote the book on how to properly invade a country, and how to give away our taxes. Why cant we be PAID to fight other wars??? Its now clear that Asking pay for favors in this country is an impeachable offence. I hope Trump wins the election and changes that fake "law" that the libtards abused. We cant be the worlds policeman for friken free. Not with my tax dollars.

Anyways, it's clear that the Russian closed society means we may never know the entire scope of things. But from whats been discovered thru this war, its looking like Russian leaders have been doing as much raping of the Russian economy as is raping of the Ukraine people. Making the Russian army more hype than substance, from financial starvation. That in no way means that the Russians may loose. But it does indicate why this war has been so ugly, and may get uglier still. An old fashion meat grinder war. It may be old fashion, but it still counts. In war, last man standing wins. Unless hes the last man... Yup, you can't forget those pesky nukes...

Oh yea, here's a link to the Kuwaiti costs as compiled by the libtards. Since "only" $7 Billion went unreimbursed, they labeled Trump a liar. Hah, so what else is new. Irresponsible libtards are always throwing away Billions of my tax dollars. So what happens first. Does America go bankrupt, or do the poles melt?

I have a feeling America goes bankrupt in the futile attempt to stop the poles from melting. Because the greatest generation has nearly died out. And all todays generation has to say is "ok boomer"...

Yup, its like robot trench warfare over there. Like in WW1. Low on food and water, Everybody just stays focused on shooting and hiding. Nothing else matters. As for the Ruskis, they were never raised on human rights. So they have no urge to deal with dead bodies, except to get them out of the way. Hence all the mass burials.

Now that I figured out what the "Z" means, its all as backwards as everything else the Ruskis have said. They not rooting out Nazis, they are bringing Nazism themselves. And they know it to. I bet Putin was laughing at first. But now that his tanks are so funny, hes not laughing any more. But there's still those crazy "Z"s painted on everything.

French citizen on humanitarian mission witnessed war crimes by Ukrainian forces
So let me get this straight. The Ruskis invade. Blow up everything including the police force, and then the "French" expect there to be law and order smack in the middle of armageddon. Hah. Just like the propagandists here, there's morons everywhere else in the world. Including in France.

Ukrainian forces fired on residential areas of Donetsk using cluster munitions
Bwahahaha. Ukrainians hit a Russian emplacement and detonated all their cluster munitions. Hah. Small pay backs. But every little bit helps.

LPR: Kremennaya residents told reporters about murder of mayor by Ukrainian forces
Again, Ukraine police force is disbanded to be front line fighters. Puppet traitors looking for measured justice are shit out of luck. In Ukraine, all there's left, for the time being is street justice. And there's not a damn thing anybody can do about it for the foreseeable future. All armed able bodied Ukrainian personnel are busy at the front lines.

Ukraine: Nazis turned 3 schools into headquarters and weapon depots
Hah, yup, them Russian Nazis been hauling in tons of their NZ boxed stuff to conquer Ukraine with. And they knew with all the destruction, Ukrainians had no need for schools for the time being. Well that's one thing Those Russian Nazis figured out right.

Ruble surpasses Brazil’s real as year’s best-performing currency
So whats new? We already know that Bidens sanctions are pretty feckless.

Multiple suicides recently on US Navy ships
Yup, Bidens stolen presidency has been very hard for some to accept.

The Kentucky derby. So who got filthy rich? The winner paid over 80 to 1. That means you would have won over $800 on a measly $10 bet. Every time I go to a free vacation to Vegas to check out all that spectacularness, I loose about $5 grand to gambling, trying to hit the big one. Its what a regular vacation would have cost, so its nothing ridiculous. If I had gone to the Derby all day party, and put $1000 on the winner. Oh lordy I would have drove home sweating that cops would sniff me out and had a shootout, thinkin I was some smuggling drug kingpin. Unbelievable. The long shot. Meanwhile, other rich bloaks that put millions on the top 3 for just interest on their investment, lost it all. It just goes to show that anything is possible and can happen.

And the very same thing goes for this world shit show going on. Nothing is what it seems and anything can happen. Ruskis been bald face lying all thru this war. They been saying they wont use nukes. Like we supposed to believe them? Hah. The track record is they do the opposite of what they say. So there still plenty of shit left to feed the shit show.

One thing that seems clear is that there's no end to the screw ups on all sides. Russians firing one death agency only to hire another that's even nastier. Ukrainians started out so badly that just still being alive is in itself progress. If it weren't for the arrogant public comments not at all helpful to ending war. And Biden finally expressing outrage at his arrogant CIA admitting that US helped sink ships and kill Generals. Its clear that there's crazy actors on all sides that have no interest in stopping a nuclear war. Including that nut job Russian space chief that's in charge of the Russian half of the space station. Anybody got odds on how long the space station has left?

If the Ruskis quit the station, they will unplug their modules and cut them loose. Making the rest a hunk of junk. And that is a possibility because the Ruskis are running out of cash for non essential activities. And nobody will pay what the Ruskis will want to just float away. And I don't think there's space men big enough to enforce an asset seizure on the space station. Hah. In the future, the Ruskis will be space partners with the Chinese. They already building a space station that's way more modern.

In the mean time, there is no way out for the Russians to even consider calling it quits. Live people screaming reparations is a huge buzz kill. Biden starting to see this too.

Putins associate warns that arms supplies to Ukraine could escalate into a nuclear war
https://www.yahoo.com/news/putins-associ...02280.html

So you see, there's no sign that anything is getting any better anytime soon. So keep your emergency supplies stacked to the top. Because like the Kentucky Derby, anything can happen. But its not looking like nothing good will happen anytime soon. Even if Putin drops dead, Russia and all their nukes are likely to slowly descend into utter chaos. The absolute worst time for a Russian peoples revolt.

And in other news, Russia has gone silent concerning the sinking of their prized flagship. Word is leaking out that families are being kept in the dark over the fate of their soldiers on board. A Ukrainian official Oleksii Danilov says of the 510 on the ship, only 58 were rescued. And that makes sense. That explosion was so massive that only people at the very back would have had a chance.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/presidents-of...00851.html

Also, Ruskis left behind documents in a house that confirm that the Russian military plan is to seize the entire country of Ukraine. Hah. Well it don't require much brain power to figure that one out. If they don't grab everything, then occupiers will always be shot at. All Ukrainians will have to be replaced by Russians looking for free land to build a better life on.

Ukraine Is in Worse Shape than You Think
https://www.yahoo.com/news/ukraine-worse...10914.html

Oh yea. I never had any doubts. My eyes are wide open and my X-ray vision sees right thru the bull shit. But there are those that say "so what". Its got nothing to do with us. Why are we even talking about it? If there were no TVs and radios, then nobody would have a care in the world.

I know somebody like that outside of Seattle. We use to be growing up buddies. And college mates. But he met a girlfriend who changed him. A girl with no brains. A girl that swore that nature was all we needed. They moved to Seattle to start a nature life. Lots of hiking and mountain climbing. Lots of vegetarian living and carbon rejection. He did the "cooking" while she pushed the human powered reel lawn mower. She "loved it", as I could see she was lying thru her teeth. Seattle rain made grass grow Sooo fast that I could see that mowing was a loathsome task for her. My buddy loved to cook and he was good at it. So she at least got a yummy meal for all that nasty nature mowing. For me, the food was yummy but I had really bad Big Mac attacks after abit.

Anyways, they were full on tree huger types that embraced the California hater scene. They rejected the carbon life, but had to drive cars. They rejected TVs but had to have cell phones. They rejected medicines and embraced internet elixirs. My buddy said the government is corrupt and if he was President, he'd eliminate "states", and make America one big nature preserve. Outlawing anything that interfered with nature. But he says he doesn't want to be president because he's too busy hiking and such. And his common law is too busy mowing the grass, hah. I said that, he didn't. Bwahahaha.

Clearly, they couldn't give a rats ass about Russia. Other than stop all war protests. They hated Reagan with a passion. He closed national parks and made fees for others. That's all they cared about. That's all they felt anybody should care about. And they had no sensible answer if Russia launched nukes at us. But it was great that German wall was torn down. But Reagan didn't do it.

Well, you see the picture. My buddies common law got sick and died. She rejected medicines. And you couldn't tell her anything. She knew all she needed to know. And she died young. Just like the cave men did. My buddy was in shock and denial and all kinds of other withdraw type things. After all. Who was going to be pushing on the human powered reel mower thru wet Seattle grass?

As it turns out, the whole society funeral thing brings in togetherness and my buddy got a new girlfriend pretty quick. But she had more brains. In no way was she going to mow grass with a ridiculous human powered mower. In fact, she had a riding mower. Hah. And my buddy was doing most of the grass mowing now. Bwahahaha. She was her own great cook and she was not a die hard vegetarian. She was OK in both worlds. So my buddy was no longer absolutely anal about the carbon life, but started to realize that life is better if its a more practical approach.

So whats this got to do with Russia, you ask? Seattle is flushed down the toilet if Russia launches all their nukes. And it doesn't matter what reason. Long ago it was Brezhnev jealous of the great America that was nearly the reason. The whole JFK Cuba fiasco. The entire cold war was a reason. Nukes being built to insane numbers. Now we got this Ukrainian fiasco after angry invasions in previous years. The "world" pushing to the brink of nuclear war. A war that will affect EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE. Weather you chose to close your eyes or not.

So. In the face of things you "seem" to have no control over, in the free world, you are at least given a vote as to what you think should be done. That vote is valuable. Its something the eastern populations don't have. Certainly not the same votes that we have. So there you go. Its a reason to become thoroughly verse about things you "seem" to have no control over. Because the strength of your knowledge gives your vote power and meaning. And it could be the one vote that truly saves the planet for everybody and everything.

So never reject knowledge, and never reject your chance to vote.

[stts2]

The land of freedom. Where you can walk around public wise, most anywhere. With whatever thoughts bouncing around between your ears. Thoughts about riches of coin,  riches of spirit, or even riches of infamy. And nobody else can legally interfere, until an actual violation has been committed. And with the good, we have to put up with the bad, which can actually be good, in seeing the example of what NOT to be. Hah.

Which brings us all to the GLARING example of what not to be. Aint nobody in the free world want anything to do with Russia these days. And it was an undesirable choice in all the days before. Snowden fled to Russia after he hacked into Democrapic emails and dumped them on the internet. We got to see all kinds of sneak and trickery those dastardly Dems were up to because of the crimes Snowden committed.

But that put him in dangerous jeopardy. Stay and pay for the crimes that would have cost him the life he knew, or accept a new life in Russia under their rules. Under that new life in communist Russia, he was "loaned" a modest life as is "loaned" to all Russian citizens. He has a roof and food and a job. And the freedom to walk about and fill his senses. He would have lost all those benefits long ago if he had stayed in the western world. So I say he made the only sensible choice he had. No matter what I think of his western crimes. But in Russia, you never know for sure. The time may come when he becomes trade fodder for something Russia wants really bad. Because Snowden is NOT Russian...

So life goes on in the west, and we got this latest ultra craziness to deal with. And propagandists are free to voice their laughable gibberish, in the shadow of 60 minutes reports, that detail how Russia is setting all new war crimes records for the 21st century. They even figured out the names of a 2 man Russian hit squad that's been tracked in all the freedom places where Russian Ex-pats have been ruthlessly poisoned. Knowing who, is truly half the battle. With all these cameras we got now, it gets easier every day to watch them with technology, to make sure they don't come back. Technology is also tracking all their buddies. So all the crimes going on are not crimes as long as the actors stay in Russia. A country, like North Korea, where very little will be going in or out. Not my idea of paradise.

But I know one thing for sure. I can read all I wrote in 20 years and be proud of my contribution to the cause of freedom. While the propagandists will be changing their names and hunting for new employers to pay them to say whatever. Because in 20 years, the Ruskis will be as broke as North Korea. And Russia may actually end up being the Russian Republic of China. Bwahahahaha.

I got to laugh now because it wont be so funny in 20 years, I suspect...Oh, and Snowden may have to learn to eat chop suey. Bwahahahahahahahahahaha
