I heard an interview with a woman who was fleeing from the war, and while she was talking about her home being destroyed, and her family being gone and she has nowhere to go. Dang, the way she was describing it, gotta admit, I had a tear in my eye for a moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nomad99 763 Posted April 9, 2022 The one that got me was the woman who stayed when her daughters left. The begged her to leave. She was finally in a position to start a career & didn't want to leave. Later, there was a video of a Russian combat vehicle gunning down a bicyclist. Photos a week later showed the body still there. The daughters identified their mom by the unique symbol on her fingernails in the photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 15,520 Posted April 10, 2022 One thing liberals don’t understand about the rest of the world is that most of it looks at western culture and the trajectory that liberals have put it on and are disgusted by it and want no part of it. There was a time when the rest of the world saw the Beatles , girls in bikinis and convertibles and wanted a piece of that. Now they see chicks with diks, 50 cent and the Kardashians and say not only do we not want a part of that , we want to destroy it. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Russia is in the wrong for starting a war on foreign land but I'm out on all of this because I'm not siding with Liberal/Global Politics. Fock them all. The corporatist globalists couldn't care less about the people, cultures, and societies that they arose out of, but that doesn't mean they're always wrong, when compared to tyrannical authoritarian despots who are frequently worse. Ukrainians don't deserve what they're getting and the globalist sh*tbags are doing the right thing to help them out. In fact they're doing it on the cheap... their weaponry combined with Ukrainian blood and perseverance taking out a common foe.

Let's hope that Le Pen wins the French election and see if the European people can't wake up and cure themselves of what the coporatist globalist elite are inflicting on them. I heard a poll csm out thst had LePen above Macron in a head to head runoff, so it seems she has a decent shot. Italy looks poised to swing to the people too, hopefully.

Many here seem to lack the ability to think long term. Hugely misunderstood and not recognized issue. The US economy and dollar has been propped up and our ridiculous spending has been absorbed to a large degree by the US dollar being used as a "world currency", particularly for oil transactions, since the post-WW2 days. If/when the rest of the world moves away from using the US dollar as the defacto international currency - that's going to have a huge impact on our finances and position of global dominance. The long-term implications of that are almost too numerous and significant to contemplate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 15,520 Posted April 10, 2022 Don’t believe everything you’re told about what’s going on there. There have already been plenty of lies told by both sides. Also, any story whose source is “western officials” needs to be dismissed. As we found out during the Trump administration, consistent anonymous sources are a red flag.
