    As Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels once explained:

    "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

    Understandable, but unhelpful. They thrive on engagement. There are one or two who should be tackled, or perhaps specific posts, but getting into endless back & forth posts wastes your time & messes up the thread.

    Let them shout into the echo chamber. Their own words will condemn them more effectively than anything you or I can say.

    Got that right - huge amount of State Sponsored Propaganda pumped out by Israel lobby in the US .. and by the Religious Right .. on some mission from God to restore the Holy Land to the ancient Israelites .. in fulfillment of Prophecy you know :)

    Yeah ..pumping out a big wall of lies .. as you describe -- kind of a good analogy for the wall .. not that the wall is not needed .. just a good symbolic representation of the big lies .. that so many of these fundamentalists gulp down with glee..

    World needs to put a leash on this rogue nation.. before things escalate further ... soon the Persian Empire .. to have a nuke of its own .. and then .. yes .. then MGB .. we can really start fulfilling prophecy.. and wouldn't that be nice .. heh heh heh :)

    It isn't a mystery why Putin invaded Ukraine, he thought it was there for the taking and he could settle it in a week of Blitzkrieg. He miscalculated.

    Miscalculation is a part of war .. no one gets every prediction right. That said .. the over-all calculation is going fairly well for Vlad. Soon he will have the land along the black sea secure .. cutting Ukraine off .. taking over the region from the Donbass to Odesa --- mission acomplished. He will then sue for peace .. and that will be that.

    Sure there will be some bitching from the west .. as was the case for Crimea .. but then back to business as usual -- the colors on the board slightly altered .. a small price to pay for Vlad .. Peace restored a small price to pay for the West .. Ukraine the big loser.. which the West will have to pay to rebuild - but no big deal in grand scheme of things.

    They definitely need to asses the mental state of the khazarian prince of darkness in Kiev.

    He's like Biden, they both want to build back better but all they can do is f*** everything up. They should leave things alone. Putin is a thief.

    Thank You

    Understanding - That I do not ascribe to everything he says,
    (and we may disregard his error regarding Ukrainian Oil in the Caspian)
    But the entirety of his Cogent thought and Balanced analysis
    .......................................................................... is worth considering.

    His Humane understanding as to the Scope and Tragedy of this conflict
    is a welcome change from the many here - who - in Puerile manner, treat this
    Catastrophe as a football game, and simply use it as an excuse to celebrate
    ................... and cheer on the Death & Suffering of their perceived enemies

    Ukraine War: One million person Ukrainian force is feasible


    Defence and Security Analyst Professor Michael Clarke says that Ukraine could "probably" arm and mobilise a force of one million people in the long-term.​

    He also says that unless the Russians do something "pretty drastic," the pendulum will swing back in favor of Ukraine's forces around autumn. The liberation of the south is imminent.

    Don't really see the comparison .. Putin not a fk-up like Biden. True that Politicians are thieves .. and Putin a member of the club.

    Is there any way we could take advantage of this? Conventionally, Russia looks to be the sick man of Europe in a military sense right now. The problem is she has this literally huge nuclear arsenal.

    China is in the best position to take advantage of Russia's decline.

    Indeed. The logical end point of the Pootster's policy is that Russia will become a vassal state of China.
