That's the irony, the Democratic party, or just our general establishment, is legitimately communists actively trying to reduce living standards and demanding we eat bugs, and dumbshits are bitching about Putin, because they are fucking stupid.

I agree, but I don't know why. Something about her is pretty hot, but not in a classically beautiful way.

I feel the same way about Sally Hawkins. Can't put my finger on it (sadly).

That looks like an older pic (she can't be more than late 20's/early 30's in that.

I think it's the eyes. Some women have incredibly expressive eyes that effectively animate them. Women with small, squinty eyes divert attention from the face to the body (a milder variant of the "but'her face"). Hawkins' body is androgenous at best, but the attention is drawn to the face, not the body.

Big, expressive eyes hold the most mystery.

ohomen171 says

Putin is engaging in some cold-blooded calculus here. "Make things very uncomfortable for people in the west and they will cave in and let me do what I want to do." Long ago, Western democracies caved into Hitler in hopes of appeasing him and stopping a second world war. We know what happened afterward. We are going to have high gasoline and diesel prices. We are going to suffer high prices for food, timber, and natural gas for a long time to come. We are going to see large numbers of people face starvation. We cannot let Putin win this battle!!!! Decades ago, Stalin and Chairman Mao engineered famines that killed millions of people. Putin is the same kind of monster

So lets see... the west wants to do what they want with the ukraine and inflict their super sanctions to try to make the russians suffer....(although they end up fucking themselves and the ukrainian people).......this is GOOD.
When Putin counters and does the same, he's a cold blooded monster.
"We are going to see large numbers of people face starvation"....But that doesn't matter, the west needs to defeat Putin at any and all costs. We cannot let Putin win this battle!!!!
Last but not least, he even managed to get Hitler's name into the narrative LOL

And another one goes off the deep end...

This former PINO is unhappy with the Special Economic Operation:

Sanctions against Russia could be seen as acts of aggression and a justification for war, according to Dmitiry Medvedev, Russia's deputy security council chairman.

"Under certain circumstances such hostile measures can also qualify as an act of international aggression," says Medvedev, a former Russian president, who called sanctions a "boorish and cynical practice".

The guy is funny in a way only tiny dudes can be (he's something like 5'1"). His last name is derived from Russian for "bear", BTW, which makes it even more comical.

"It's a declaration of war, and if some of our bear parts weren't stuck you-know-where we would show you what's what!"

Nice try but there are two domestic factions in Russia that have been doing this and worse for the last 8 years to each other.
Every bombed out building in Ukraine all have one thing in common. The pockmarks on the side of buildings all seem to indicate that the shelling is coming from the Ukraine side, not the Russian side. Futhermore the mall that was bombed earlier in the month was reported that the Russian Seperatist are responsible.

The big huge elephant in the room, that the Dishonest crooked media and the evil vile World Domination establishment alike fail to mention, is the conflict in the Ukraine would happen, even if Russia was on the other side of the world and wasn't sending in any military support. It's a waring faction between political ideologies in the Ukraine. Much like the way the Libs here in America think they can dismiss a large swath of the pollical will in this country by enlisting propaganda and civic destroying Communist subversion in our local municipalities and schools. Then allow the DOJ to go after the disenfranchised and call them the enemy of the State.

Ukraine has an even larger swath of Patriots, that would rather remain Slavic and Russian rather than suck dick with Zelinski and his Commie Fag cabal of the Eurotrash Cock Suckers.

Zelinski is the one killing innocent civilians, because he knows without a doubt you wouldn't disappoint him by taking everything the biased dishonest news reported about it.
He knows IT, the whole fucking Establishment knows it!

I mean once you convince a whole Ignorant class of morons to accept the crooked election of 2020 that reports Biden got 80 million votes, when less than 50 people wont tune into hear him say one Goddamn word about anything! All else in fantasy Island is possible.

Funny how the United States wrings its hands about Putin supposedly being a monster, but there was no mention of this savagery when it was going on in either US "news" media, or from our supposed "leaders".

This indicates that the US government doesn't care about any of this nonsense, even if it were true. It's exclusively used for propaganda purposes.

Quit appealing to "human rights" - they don't fucking exist. Stop pretending you fucking care, you don't.

It's irritating, as soon as you NPCs are activated and turned on, you suddenly know all the attrocities of Russia you're supposedly angry about but have never mentioned or talked about in your entire life. But now you're concerned!!!! Now you CARE, REALLY - you do! Now that it's important to support another fucking waste of billions if not trillions of dollars, you're a humanitarian all of a sudden that has deeply cared about all the awful things Russia has been doing for the last 3 decades, which you've NEVER mentioned once - because you care so fucking much.

Is it?

Look, if there's something I've learned over the last 20 years of war, is there's no morality involved with it. Nobody fucking gives a shit about people being killed. Yemen has over 100,000 CHILDREN dead now. Show me ANYBODY talking about that or asking for it to stop?

I'm tired of "Putler evil!" - MAYBE - quite possibly. Nobody cares if he is, and I wish people would stop pretending. If they fucking cared, they would have said something about in sometime in the last 30 years. If the US government gave a fuck, instead of framing Putin with MH17 (that was shot down by the Ukrainians, you can see the fucking bullet holes on the fuselage) and framing him with the "Skripal poisoning" - they wouldn't have to lie.

But they do fucking lie, constantly.

People complain about clown world. I've been living in it for 20 years.

Remember, "Day h8 us 4 R freedumb". People believe this bullshit, but not really, they just listen and repeat, like a machine. No thinking involved. I'm tired of people's bullshit virtue signalling.

Nobody gave a fuck about Russia until it became massively lucrative for the MIC and the US "news" media started drumming up the war propaganda. People deny the Donbass region has been bombed for the last 8 years. My business partner actually accused me of "repeating Russian propaganda", I retorted with a link to Wikipedia that has been covering it for over 6 years.

The US has been trying to start a war with Russia, a nuclear super power for YEARS. Does anybody remember the lie that "Russia hacked our election" - why did CLINTON pick out Russia? Why did all our intelligence agencies and propaganda outlets go along with this blatantly obvious lie?

If an educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people, we're not a free people. Those assholes enslave me.

OMG, Bozo resumes his act! (grabbing popcorn)

Just as I pointed out in another thread how you recycle same old debunked BS - you don't disappoint.

Just so you know (who am I kidding? not you of course, someone who can possibly make a mistake of taking you seriously) BUK missile isn't meant to hit the target directly. It explodes at a distance, and destroys the target with pre-packaged shrapnel. Which is approximately bullet-sized, but different shape.

It's next to impossible for a casual observer to tell the difference between shrapnel holes and bullet holes on a small sample. On a larger sample, shrapnel holes pattern exhibits inconsistency. IIRC that inconsistency made it possible to tell somewhat soon that the damage was not caused by the gun fire.

Is that all? No, that's not all. The shape of shrapnel actually changed from release to release of BUKs. More detailed analyses, plus recovered shrapnel IIRC, made it possible to identify the shape in question, and pinpoint the version of BUK used in the shooting.

Indeed, team Putin clung to the "shut down by an aircraft" version real hard. So hard that they produced messages from air-traffic controller Carlos (LOL), someone who witnessed the pilot taking off (that didn't last either), and even went to Wikipedia and changed flying characteristics of SU-25. In short - they employed the "let's pile up lots of shit, something will stick, and if not - it will take time to clean it up" strategy.

Hey, by any chance, were you involved with any of that Wikipedia business? Asking for a friend.

It's pretty fucking easy to tell when audio has been modified and grafted together though. The supposed admission from a Russian officer Igor Bezler:

See the splice? Where it went from stereo to mono? It's pretty obvious, NO effort was made to make it believable. This is how Billy Mitchell was caught. They don't even fucking try anymore. Download it yourself, verify it for yourself.

Gee, why was the evidence faked? Golly, I have no idea. It's almost like they had to create fake evidence to falsely convict somebody, but US intelligence agencies would never do that, and if they did, they'd be professional, and not be caught, right?

Not anymore, they just depend on propagandists, and useful idiots like you to shout down anybody that has more than 2 braincells to rub together.

They were caught faking evidence, 8 years ago. EIGHT years ago. Why are they publishing fake evidence? Why hasn't PooTube taking it down for "false and misleading information"?

The first thing they did is that the UNITED STATES seized all the evidence, and now it's not available for inspection.

The US does false flags ALL THE FUCKING time. Mi6 does too. That's what the Skripal's OBVIOUSLY were.

The difference between me and you, is that I have evidence and can readily produce it. You don't. You have insults, a bunch of propaganda shit in your head, and not much more. I keep saying, this is the world's most powerful research and information tool EVER made. It's trivial to check the veracity of our government. Takes only minutes.

A lie has many stories, the truth, has only one.

CGI! False Flag! Altered audio! Admission! ALL THE FUCKING TIME!!!

Why don't you prove your earlier statement that those holes are "fucking bullet holes" (now that I explained to you the shrapnel thing)

Or will you, like your Kremlin gurus, grab a shovel and start piling up "anything but", for the sake of distraction?

I'm seeing the shovel.

Your explanations aren't backed up with any evidence. I don't think you're credible, and I don't believe you do any critical thinking at all. You just regurgitate. It's a waste of my time to try to prove that what you are saying is correct. You don't present supporting evidence, because you have none.

You have no ability to think with nuance. You see everything as black or white, good or bad. You can't imagine that both governments are lying. I expect the Russian government to lie, but I get upset when the US government lies to me to try create the propaganda necessary for fucking World War III.

No, I'm saying I'm not going to take your word for it, CERTAINLY won't take the US government's word for it, and I know with certainty that the initial evidence the US presented that the Russians did it was falsified, something you've ignored, of course.

My reasoning is, if the United States had solid evidence (and confidence) that the Russians shot down MH17:

1) They wouldn't have produced a faked audio recording of Igor Bezler, but they did one day after the shoot down, on July 18, 2014 - the haste of which they produced this propaganda might explain the incompetence of the product.
2) Malaysia would have been allowed unfettered access to the wreckage of the plane, and they weren't.
3) Russians would have been allowed to investigate the wreckage of the plane, perhaps under surveillance, but that's fine, but they weren't.
4) Ukranians would have been allowed to investigate the wrekage of the plane, but they weren't.
5) Andriy Lysenko (Ukrainian security official) wouldn't have announced 2 weeks later that the black box indicated the plane had been hit by a missile, since the Ukrainians couldn't have had knowledge of this.
6) The black box would have been released IMMEDIATELY to prevent tampering, it wasn't.

They sure go to a lot of fuckery when all they have to do is tell the truth, don't they? Well, you have to go through a lot of fuckery, when you are lying.

The US doesn't even care if Russia shot down MH17 - they were going to claim that regardless. They don't give a shit about the victims, they don't care about the lives lost. All the propaganda works in the favor of the United States as well, so they had motive, as well.

Who benefits by shooting down MH17? Not Russia.

Russia gets blamed for everything, even that Neocon cunt losing the election to a carnival barker. They are being blamed now for inflation. Doesn't matter what they do, the US federal government has no integrity or honesty. They have no shame or pride and they just think people are fucking idiots, and largely, they are right. They lie STRAIGHT to our faces, and YOU say "can I have some more sir? Yes sir, I see 3, 4 or 5 fingers sir, whatever you tell me to see sir. No sir, I will deny my reasoning ability and senses, if you ask me to sir." It's pathetic to me, but whatever, it's YOUR integrity you have to live with, or lack of it.

Aaaand, here comes the shovel. You yet again get spanked and "pile for cover". Do you own fucking research. This particular question - about type of destruction caused by BUK missile - is trivial and takes about 5 minutes to look up. Way less than it took you to compose the pile of dung that you composed. You earlier said that it would get you to be embarrassed if you were proven wrong. But then you never are (to you) because you refuse to look.

Trouble is that you can't look away either. Hence, the hissy fits.

Patrick says

How is it being used?

My synopsis - as a propaganda platform. No more and no less. And not the type of propaganda that would make US a better place, either.

That specific "contributor" is very passionate about a variety of topics, many of which I can't judge. But some I can, and very well.

In situations like that I apply a simple test to gauge quality of the source: how good are they on the topics that I DO understand very well? If they are mostly a match, or provoke thinking, that's likely a great source. If it's a mixed bag, then it's a "OK" source. If they are wrong time after time - well, it's a good reason to dismiss it altogether, at least without double-checking with other sources.

How often have you watched news and thought: "well, those guys sound about right". Until they hit a topic with which you are intimately familiar, and you realize that they are actually quite wrong? Typical reaction is to think - "well, they got this one wrong, but they must be right most of the time". My approach suggests that they are not. It works every time: regarding a radio station, a news channel, a forum handle, etc. That's why I can't name a single US-based mainstream source that I would trust. Specifically here, on the topics that I DO understand, the person is wrong yet passionate to the splutter on almost everything. If you try to quantify accuracy of information and use it as a nominator, and assertiveness as a denominator, the fraction in this case would literally be 0.

Of course, it could just be a coincidence. But statistics suggests otherwise. Most likely, the person is full of shit on most topics. Which, by itself, is not a sin because many people are. But if you count the volume and the passion... well, you get the idea.

Indeed, to each their own. You may be fine with that.
