You're still not getting it. It's not even about NATO. The US wants dead Russians

For WHAT reason does the United States want dead Russians?

THIS won't serve any purpose beneficial to the United States. You are incapable of seeing that. Your thinking stops and ends with "our dumb fucking incompetent assholes that run the nation WANT THIS!!! - YAAY! SUCCESS!!!"

Russia has the most nuclear weapons in the fucking world of any country. More than the US or China. If you cut their population down to 70 million, they will survive.

Russia isn't our problem. Our problem is with the dumb fucking incompetent assholes that run this nation.

You treat this with all the respect and gravity as a football game that you have a bet on. What if your team is throwing the game, and betting on themselves losing? STILL SUPPORT "YOUR" TEAM?

The events leading up to America’s involvement in WWII were essentially orchestrated by the intelligence community sanctioned by the globalist president. FDR was a globalist just like Woodrow Wilson. The ridiculous League of Nations guaranteed WWII would happen. America wanted to remain out of the fighting when Europe fell into another war. But the powers that be devised a plan to justify and garner support from the average citizen to avenge Pearl Harbor (never mind our intelligence people knew in advance it was going to happen). It was essentially the beginning of the deep state, and the fact that few recognize this just proves how successful they have been with their propaganda.

If Ukraine is in NATO, the United States should be out, plain and simple.

A decision that could trigger the next world war cannot be made by transnational elites, unaccountable to any country or its citizens. As the body tasked with providing advice and consent on additions to the North Atlantic Treaty, the road to Ukraine’s NATO membership runs through the U.S. Senate. If we are serious about preserving U.S. hegemony, at no point can our nation be forced by a dependent Europe to accept the risk of nuclear escalation. We must draw a redline with NATO: You can have Ukraine or the United States. If allied boots hit the ground in Ukraine, we should walk away from NATO entirely.

In the meantime, perhaps someone should remind Jens Stoltenberg that his job is to be a steward of the strategic interests of NATO’s dues-paying members, not a shill for Ukraine. As the largest financial backer of the alliance, it is time the U.S. prioritizes participation in NATO according to our core strategic interests. WWIII is not on the agenda, and it is far past time for the United States to close NATO’s open door.

- Sen. Mike Lee, publicly bitchslapping Stoltenberg

Sure some resisting Blobster still got their desperate warmongering into Gramp's SOTU speech. But the momentum is to Afghanistan the Ukies.

Yo Ukie Nazi Fluffers of PatNet!

Why the fuck should we care about Ukraine when Ukrainians themselves won't fight for it?

Here it comes: RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA!

But how do you jive this with the bullshit you post that Russia is too incompetent to fight this war?

Ppl don't pay 10k euro bribes to avoid Russians who can't shoot straight, after all.

Finally, it must have driven the Ukraine-flag-in-bio people crazy that the Times respectfully reported a Putin speech without once calling him a war criminal. In fact, maybe it’s my imagination, but ever since the CIA coughed up its private Ukrainian army in that historic Times exclusive a few weeks back, it seems like our own local C&C comments Ukrainian cheerleading team has been strangely restrained.

The part of his speech the Times left out is when Putin said Russia had already been approached by some Western negotiators trying to convince Russia to “pause” the fighting to allow room for peace negotiations. Putin reasonably said they won’t pause, why would they, right when Ukraine is running out of ammunition? Putin also said he trusts “none of them” — meaning the West. Why should he?

Assuming Putin was telling the truth about being approached for peace talks (and why would he lie about that?), this is the first public confirmation that the West has blinked. As it should have. It’s the first confirmation that, despite Biden’s crazy escalatory rhetoric, the West is trying to make a deal. The problem is the West wants a deal that will allows it to claim a political victory. Like Putin said, the Proxy War was always more about politics. But it’s about survival for Russia.

Attention Uktards! Attention!

We have a Russian Derangement Syndrome Special in Aisle Sanctions!

CNN—
Russia is entering its third year of war in Ukraine with an unprecedented amount of cash in government coffers, bolstered by a record $37 billion of crude oil sales to India last year, according to new analysis, which concludes that some of the crude was refined by India and then exported to the United States as oil products worth more than $1 billion.

The analysis by the CREA estimated the US was the biggest buyer of refined products from India made from Russian crude last year, worth $1.3 billion between early December 2022, when the price cap was introduced, and the end of 2023. The organization’s estimates are based on publicly available shipping and energy data.

The value of these oil product exports rises significantly once US allies that are also enforcing sanctions against Russia are included. The CREA estimated that $9.1 billion worth of oil products made from Russian crude was imported by these nations in 2023, a 44% increase from the year before.

Moscow has found means to enrich itself off this refining and export process too. One of the Indian refineries and ports accepting Russian crude is in Vadinar, and run by a company called Nayara Energy, which is 49.1% -owned by Russian state oil giant Rosneft. The CREA estimated that the US imported $63 million worth of oil products refined in Vadinar in 2023, and that about half the crude used in the plant was Russian. All of which is entirely above board.

But the organization’s report added that exports from Vadinar “lead to significant tax revenues for the Kremlin in the form of taxing the exported Russian crude oil” and also via the profits made by Rosneft from the refining and resale to Moscow’s Western opponents.

Still, analysts say the profits that can be made from even the smallest evasion of sanctions against Russia are vast, because of the significant sums involved in trading a single oil tanker’s cargo. “Really you’re talking about something which is amazingly lucrative,” said Daniel at Windward. “The temptation to do that… is absolutely huge for the traders. They could just make $10 to 40 million within four or five months. I’m not sure there’s any other opportunity in the world to do that.”

Oh...and Ukraine Is Totally Fucked, too.

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/interference-monday-march-18-2024

🔥 Yesterday, CNN ran a totally unbiased headline, “Putin extends one man-rule in Russia after stage-managed election devoid of credible opposition.” I wonder what CNN really thought about it? Anyway, Putin won 88% of the popular vote in a same-day election yesterday. (No early or mail-in voting.) The vote predictably showed that Russians don’t want to change presidents in the middle of a war with NATO — whoops! sorry! — I meant in the middle of a war with Ukraine.

And it only took the Russians a few hours to count their ballots.

Laughably, every single Western leader criticized the Russian election. Most hilariously, that included Joseph Robinette Biden, who himself was “elected” in a drawn-out, slow-motion electoral disaster that was mangled, delayed, ballot-harvested, water-main-broked, mailed-in, extra-ballots-found, midnight-spiked, counting-room-windows blocked, election-observers rejected, and otherwise totally mucked up beyond any semblance of a believable election process.

Joe had the nerve to call Russia’s election fake. Once I stopped laughing about that, I started laughing all over again, because I realized that in other words, Joe Biden is now an election denier. So.

I have been informed by serious, fretful news commenters — many times — that “interfering” with an election — like by making Hillary Clinton memes — is a danger to our democracy. Interfering in any way is literally the worst possible thing a free citizen can do. Many good citizens, including veterans, first responders, and grandmas, are right now languishing in the shiv wings of many federal prisons, for interfering with the 2020 election by walking slowly through the Capitol rotunda taking selfies.

Even denying the validity of an election is grounds for Facebook termination with prejudice and for getting jammed on an FBI watchlist. But apparently, not if you’re denying Russia’s election. It hasn’t even been a full day yet, but somehow they already know Putin’s re-election was a fraud. Who needs evidence? It just was!

But it’s even funnier than that. Okay, it’s dark humor, since it includes a lot of newly-deceased Ukrainians. Over the weekend, right before Russia’s voting day, Ukraine — directed by NATO war planners — launched its biggest action since its failed Glorious 2023 Spring Counteroffensive. All along the border, Ukraine shot missiles, launched drones, and invaded with over 50 tanks, countless other vehicles, and over 5,000 men — attacking civilian targets related to the election, including polling places.

At first, Ukraine denied it had anything to do with the massive attack on Russia’s election infrastructure. Ukraine said hey, it wasn’t them, it was an organized resistance inside Russia who oppose Putin and the war. But then the Russians walloped the invading army, and pictures started popping up on social media showing wrecked, U.S.-made Bradley fighting vehicles, and Ukraine had to stop pretending it was a civil war.

Apparently the geniuses in NATO’s planning bunker thought it was a good idea to massacre thousands of Ukrainians and sacrifice massive amounts of material trying to manufacture a fake civil war on the border, a ‘civil war’ that nobody would have believed anyway. And then, predictably, sitting back in their safe base in Poland or wherever, NATO’s imbecilic generals just got everyone killed, and the Russians shot down all their missiles and drones and the whole thing backfired and just made Russian voters madder so they voted even more for Putin.

So I say, let’s get the January 6th prisoners out of jail to make room for the NATO generals who planned all this election interference. Which is apparently even worse than their war crimes of deliberately targeting civilian election infrastructure.

Have you noticed how quickly our Ukraine problem went away, vanished, phhhhttttt? At least from the top of US news media websites. The original idea, as cooked-up by departed State Department strategist Victoria Nuland, was to make Ukraine a problem for Russia, but instead we made it a problem for everybody else, especially ourselves in the USA, since it looked like an attempt to kick-start World War Three. Now she is gone, but the plans she laid apparently live on.

Our Congress so far has resisted coughing up another $60-billion for the Ukraine project — most of it to be laundered through Raytheon (RTX), General Dynamics, and Lockheed Martin — so instead “Joe Biden” sent Ukraine's President Zelensky a few reels of Laurel and Hardy movies. The result was last week’s prank: four groups of mixed Ukraine troops and mercenaries drawn from sundry NATO members snuck across the border into Russia’s Belgorod region to capture a nuclear weapon storage facility while Russia held its presidential election. I suppose it looked good on the war-gaming screen.

Alas, the raid was a fiasco. Russian intel was on it like white-on-rice. The raiders met ferocious resistance and retreated into a Russian mine-field — this was the frontier, you understand, between Kharkov (Ukr) and Belgorod (Rus) — where they were annihilated. The Russian election concluded Sunday without further incident. V.V. Putin, running against three other candidates from fractional parties, won with 87 percent of the vote. He’s apparently quite popular.

“Joe Biden,” not so much here, where he is pretending to run for reelection with a party pretending to go along with the gag. Ukraine is lined up to become Afghanistan Two, another gross embarrassment for the US foreign policy establishment and “JB” personally. So, how long do you think V. Zelensky will be bopping around Kiev like Al Pacino in Scarface?

This time, poor beleaguered Ukraine won’t need America’s help plotting a coup. When that happens, as it must, since Mr. Z has nearly destroyed his country, and money from the USA for government salaries and pensions did not arrive on-time, there will be peace talks between his successors and Mr. Putin’s envoys. The optimum result for all concerned — including NATO, whether the alliance knows it or not — will be a demilitarized Ukraine, allowed to try being a nation again, though in a much-reduced condition than prior to its becoming a US bear-poking stick. It will be on a short leash within Russia’s sphere-of-influence, where it has, in fact, resided for centuries, and life will go on. Thus, has Russia at considerable cost, had to reestablish the status quo.

That's where his logic falls apart. Precisely because of Russia's considerable cost, that option is most likely off the table now.

Or if it is, it will be in name only: much like Eastern Europe was in the Soviet Era. Nominally independent countries with Russian military bases in them to keep them in line, like Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslavakia in 1968.

Either way...

Progress! Russian fluffers are finally beginning to grudgingly admit that Russia has suffered "considerable cost" in their total cockup of an invasion. Despite Ukraine suffering lack of military supplies all winter, Russia has barely gained any ground in the last year to justify the monumental loss of life and material. But any day now - there will be another Blitzkrieg of Kyiv?

How did that work out for the USSR? The Iron Curtain bought them a few decades of keeping their Commie slave colonies in line, but the tide is still heading in the other direction and the USSR imploded. The Ukrainian population will be a very unhappy and ungovernable population after suffering through the last 3 years of drunk Russian depravity. Any chance of Russia hanging onto significant Ukrainian land will require massive number of occupation troops that Putin foolishly got killed in the past 3 years.

Just can't see how Ukraine is anything but a massive economic, military and humanitarian catastrophe for Russia.

You sure you aren't talking about Ukraine's counter-offensive?

It was quite the BLOODBATH as well as a total strategic defeat.

But hey! If your fantasies about this are even remotely correct, good news!

It means Ukraine doesn't need our help. And NATO can stand up to Russia w/o us! Awesome!

A helluva lot better than it did for Eastern Europe.

Here is a picture if Prague, 1968.

I hear it was quite the BLOODBATH.

Yes. We know. The propaganda kool-aid you've been drinking is pretty damn good! What's that shit called again? Oh right...Bloodbath!. More potent than the shit they had Biden hopped up on during the SOTU, even.

Can an Russian fluffer point to 2 or 3 "gains" Russia has achieved in the past 3 years to justify the monumental cost of Russian life and treasure?

From my side of the ledger, Russia has lost its Naval presence and capacity to blockade anything in the Black Sea, has a couple brand new NATO members on its borders and generally embarrassed itself to the whole world showing how primitive and ineffective their military is trying to subdue their much smaller and weaker next door neighbor. Even Russia's Wagner group has taken a big hit and will likely lose a bunch of their 3rd world customers. Europe and NATO have re-committed to Trump's request to spend at least 3% GDP on defense and Russia has lost massive chunks of their crap-ass military.

On top of that, Russia has lost major gas pipelines to Europe and Ukraine is now attacking their major refineries with cheap drones.
https://www.newsweek.com/russia-oil-drone-strike-threat-ukraine-bombs-1880307

It will take decades for Russia to recoup this "investment".

MOAR winning for Russia!

Clearly - Russia's drunk military embarrassing itself to the whole world in Ukraine has sent a message to the rest of Europe to get in line!

Just imagine how much better Russia (and the world) would be today if Russia decided not to invade Ukraine.

-------------------------------------

In case of a potential conflict with Russia, NATO will gain control not only over the Baltic Sea, but also over the Black Sea

The construction of the largest #NATO base in #Europe has begun in #Romania. The project will include runways, hangars for military aircraft, schools, kindergartens, stores and a hospital. The base will be able to accommodate 10 thousand military personnel with their families.

Romania is located in a strategically important region. This base will allow to create a permanent military structure in close proximity to the war in #Ukraine.

According to the project, the airbase will be able to accommodate almost any type of modern aircraft. The base will be home to fighter jets and bombers.

In case of a potential military conflict with #Russia, the alliance will be able to strike the Russian Black Sea coast and the Caucasus, and will significantly strengthen its position in the Black Sea. The base could also serve as a command center for troop control.

Russia isn't ever going to attack Kiev. They are going to destroy the entire Ukrainian military, and waste billions of dollars of US military weaponry, and ultimately cost the United States as much money as possible for starting this stupid fucking war.

If they do it right, make it humiliating enough for the fucking Neocons, MAYBE they won't start another FUCKING war that has nothing to do with the US and has no purpose in being fought. MAYBE.

Victoria Nuland is gone, but I think she's just oozed her way into some bullshit "think tank" that will be cheer leading our next stupid fucking unnecessary, wasteful, expensive, conflict that does nothing other than further harm our nation.

Socal hasn't been wrong on this. I dislike his take on Tesla, but we've got to be honest, Russia looks worse from this. I still don't think a person here has said Ukraine would definitively win the war. They're winning the optics whether you like it or not. Russia looks like the bad guy. Ukraine was already a bad guy with the corruption. This is that part of the world. Won't change after this. In the moment Russia has looked like shit. Not really debatable as "supposedly" the 2nd best military in the world. They just lost a fuck ton of gear to a bunch of other corrupt drunks.

WookieMan says

They're winning the optics whether you like it or not.

Optics? 100's of thousands of dead for optics? 100's of billions of dollars squandered for optics?

Money and blood well spent, I guess.

Russia has given up trying to co-operate with the West and isn't going to bother with Europe anymore, they will happily work with China and India though unless Europe comes crawling back. If they want energy, THEY can pay for the pipelines, I doubt Russia is going to do that again.

richwicks says

Optics? 100's of thousands of dead for optics? 100's of billions of dollars squandered for optics?

How many Russians do you think died? And why would you believe the numbers? I don't care about Ukraine. This should have been easy for Russia. They've lost major naval vessels in the Black Sea in a war that had nothing to do with water. Russia has been stopped, no advanced and were embarrassed at the beginning of this whole ordeal. This isn't even a discussion.

Do I side with a anyone? Nope. I'm pointing out actually facts. Russia has likely lost as many troops and mercenaries as Ukraine. Otherwise they'd have gained ground. They haven't. This is WWI type trench warfare. Russians are dying as much as Ukrainians. So let me know who's winning? Russia looks weak.

richwicks says

Money and blood well spent, I guess.

You are talking about Russia - right?

All the Russia fluffers have been CONFIDENTALY predicting a total Russian victory since the start of the war. Doesn't matter that they can't define what a victory looks like. But 3 years later with hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded Russians - Russia occupies less Ukrainian territory today than they did at the start of 2022. Russia's navy, helicopter and jet fleet is a fraction of what it once was. Not to mention the loss of so many senior Russian officers.

As for Ukraine, it is the most human thing in the world to defend one's homeland from being invaded by a hostile neighbor. Despite being outnumbered and outspent, Ukraine has basically frozen Russia's invasion into a bloody stalemate. Who would have predicted that 3 years ago?

socal2 says

Definitely NOT McGregor. That guy is a dip shit. This conflict will last a decade outside of a miracle. I know we have a few eastern europeans. We're stubborn as fuck. I'm 2nd gen removed but have the traits. Know native eastern euros. This will go on for quite some time.

Occupation occurs AFTER the invading part ends and the invaders have taken control...none of which applies to 2022 Ukraine except for Eastern Ukraine.

Man - if it was just a "LAND WAR" would have thought the drunk Russians would have conquered more land by now, instead of having less land under their control from 3 years ago.

Remember all the retards 3 years ago CONFIDENTLY claiming that Europe and Ukraine is going to starve to death because the Russian navy was blockading Ukraine's grain exports? It was the same retards who were confidently claiming that Europe would freeze to death too.

A significant portion of Ukraine's economy is tied up with agriculture providing nearly half of Ukraine's export income. Majority of the grain is shipped through the Black Sea.

But yeah - Putin fluffers can keep pretending that the Russian Navy failing 3 years on to control Ukraine's shipping and major economic source of income doesn't matter at all......

Less than 100,000, mostly mercenaries and people trading prison time for fighting. And why would I believe the numbers? Well, I don't know what they are, but I will in time. I know my government shamelessly lies and our media is bullshit propaganda, I know that for certain, so I guarantee any number they produce is a GROSS EXAGGERATION.

WookieMan says

I don't care about Ukraine. This should have been easy for Russia.

Russia isn't struggling. They aren't attempting to win. This is a proxy war between the US and Russia.

You can't fucking understand that. This war will go on for at least 2 more years is my bet. At least.

The point of a proxy war is to exhaust the other side, not to win. Vietnam was a proxy war, Afghanistan was a proxy war. Syria may be a proxy war at this point.

The last proxy war the US lost definitely was Vietnam, and the result of that was the US went bankrupt, we left the gold standard because of Federal Reserve lied about its assets and couldn't repay it's debt in gold, because they're fucking liars. So we restructured the debt. Today, we have nothing backing the dollar at all. So we may be in the territory of a fiat hyper-inflationary collapse.

WookieMan says

They've lost major naval vessels in the Black Sea in a war that had nothing to do with water. Russia has been stopped, no advanced and were embarrassed at the beginning of this whole ordeal. This isn't even a discussion.

Who cares? Navies are obsolete now except for submarines. They are useful as aircraft carriers to bomb the fuck out of 3rd world nations on the other side of the planet, but only the US does that. It's 1,500 miles from Moscow to Damascus. The only useful thing left in the navy of ANY country in a REAL WAR (that means we actually are fighting somebody our own size, not the little kid in a wheel chair that has cerebral palsy), are submarines, because they are stealthy. In a real war, every fucking air craft carrier and warship will be on the bottom of the ocean in 2 weeks, maybe 1. That's how fucking easy they are to sink. How are you going to stop an missile flying at you at 600 MPH? Shoot it out of the air? Torpedos are in play, drones, you name it. This isn't 1945 anymore. That was before supersonic aircraft. Sinking a ship is easy today.

What is the United States getting out of this?

If you can't answer this question, you're just another stupid shit cheering on another stupid war no matter how much money it fucking costs or how many people it fucking kills because a bunch of fucking traitors in our fucking state department started another fucking war that's fucking us.

In about 4 months, our national debt goes up by 1 trillion dollars. We can't afford to waste money on frivolous bullshit like a war that doesn't matter in any conceivable way for the United States. Just because that limp wristed faggot Lindsey Graham and that blood soaked cunt Nikki Haley is told to say it's important, doesn't make it important.

The outcome of this war doesn't matter, and it was known anyhow at the start. All it's done is ruin relations with the United States. NOBODY in Eastern Europe is going to work with the US government after they FUCKING DESTROYED Ukraine. If Europe ever gets the traitors OUT of power, they will turn their back on the US, and they would be smart to do so. All this has done is hurt EVERYBODY involved. Yeah, Russia will have a Pyrrhic victory, the US will have a COMPLETE loss.

Grain exports are not going to save Ukraine. WTF?

Right - as if Ukraine maintaining one of its biggest export corridors and source of income during a war of survival is no big deal to Russian fluffers? Forgot - "ITS A LAND WAR!"

Why did Russia lose it's Black Fleet Navy and embarrass itself to the whole world trying to blockade Ukraine's grain exports if it doesn't matter?

Wasn't the whole point of Russia invading Crimea to give it better access to the Black Sea?

Laughable watching how far you guys are willing to move the goal posts to rosy up Russia's massive military embarrassment.
