Quote from: WOTR on October 14, 2022, 12:56:36 AMAnd what a job he has done of that so far. I'm curious aside from the sacrifice of his fighting age men, what else has Zelensky sacrificed?

Ukraine needs $38 billion to cover our budget deficit next yr; we need $17 billion to "rebuild the critical infrastructure"; we need $2 billion to rebuild our "electric energy infrastructure"; & we need "not less than $5 billion" for gas & coal purchases

You now get to pay the salaries of doctors and teachers and the pensions of Ukrainians as well as for their hospitals. Too bad you can't afford public healthcare down there. 

(and that is just the demands this month without touching on military aid and the billions already pledged and sent.)

QuoteA long dark road ploughs through a wasteland of snow towards an icy horizon. Welcome, this opening image unequivocally says, to post-Soviet hell, where women wait in line for meat and abortions, men brawl in banks and parliaments, where everyone sells anything to survive – shoes, bodies, blood.

In Russia 1985-1999: TraumaZone (BBC iPlayer), documentary essayist Adam Curtis has filleted thousands of hours of unused footage from the BBC's archive to craft a phantasmagoric autopsy of the USSR as it breaks apart in a thousand brutal ways, making way for capitalism. The result is a garish multi-part disaster epic.

Onto a boundless compendium of chaos Curtis has contrived to impose structure via canny juxtapositions and ironic echoes. Thus in the first film the corpse of Kim Philby seems to symbolise the death of communism. In the last film, it's the turn of democracy to lie in an open casket at the funeral of politician Galina Starovoitova, murdered a month after speaking to the BBC. In between, the leitmotif of death is everywhere from Chernobyl to Chechnya, from the reassembled bones of the last tsar to the looted graves of German soldiers.

No film by Curtis comes without a portion of irate mansplaining, crammed here into captions which tell of Gorbachev, Yeltsin and a harmless-looking pipsqueak called Putin the oligarchs finally install as their puppet. Mainly, though, he lets astonishing pictures do the talking.

"𝙈𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙗𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙢𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡!" screams a woman fleeing the bombing of Grozny. Elsewhere, expectant Russian mothers are coached to sing to their unborn children who'll now be old enough to bomb Zaporizhzhia.

Alongside such dolorous portents, surreal metaphors for delusion and dysfunction sprout like irradiated knotweed. Grotesque bodybuilders flex pecs under giant images of Marx and Lenin. A bear wanders the forest by night, infra-red eyes glaring as if in psychic shock. A cosmonaut is marooned in the Mir station because there's no money to fly him home.

From America, among many chancers, comes a motivational speaker teaching Russia's women to smile. The most captivating smile of all belongs to wily street beggar Natasha. Imagine Shirley Temple in a novel by Dostoevsky. Filmed across several years by a BBC crew, like a good capitalist she eventually requests remuneration. "You'll get paid," she argues, "and it's costing me my time." This staggering masterpiece is worth yours.

Surely this is all compensated by your virtuous consideration for your fellow man.

Quoteᴡʜᴀᴛ ꜱʜᴏᴜʟᴅ ʀᴜꜱꜱɪᴀɴꜱ ᴅᴏ ᴛᴏ ꜱᴀᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇɪʀ ꜱᴏᴜʟꜱ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ᴛʜᴇᴍꜱᴇʟᴠᴇꜱ?

The Russian people's record with respect to Vladimir Putin, his fascist regime, and its imperialist-genocidal policies isn't exactly stellar. About three-quarters have actively supported the man and his misdeeds for more than two decades. Theirs are sins of commission. Except for some large demonstrations, the remaining quarter has preferred to look the other way, staying mum while Putin dismantled democracy, flexed his muscles abroad, and created the illusion of prosperity. Theirs are sins of omission. A few had the moral backbone to oppose the regime. They are saints.

The French philosopher Joseph de Maistre claimed that "every nation has the government it deserves." Russia, alas, appears to be a case in point.

Despite these pessimistic conclusions, no nation is fated to damnation and no nation is morally unregenerate — unless, of course, it does nothing to stop its descent into hell. So, too, the Russians are redeemable, if they redeem themselves.

Ideally, the Russian people would have embarked on the path of moral regeneration on Feb. 23, a day before Putin's obedient troops invaded and subsequently raped Ukraine. Opposition to the war would have been an ethically motivated choice. Instead, the vast majority supported the war and may still support it.

Today, the war has come home. In yet another strategic blunder of the first magnitude, Putin decided it would be a good idea to mobilize up to 1 million men who hitherto had led their lives as passive onlookers. In an instant, Putin made all Russian men — as well as all Russian women and children — active participants in a bloody enterprise with no purpose.

Several hundred thousand Russian men immediately headed for the exits — not so much in protest against the war as in protest against their dying in the war. Their families and relatives shared their outrage. With one idiotic move, Putin ensured that Russians would mobilize, but against his regime. Neither Washington nor Kyiv could have done a better job.

Increasingly, Russians are beginning to see the light: The war is criminal, Putin is a thug, and the Russian people made it all possible. Redemption, finally, is in sight.

What should Russians do to save their souls from themselves?

For starters, they need to state clearly, to the world, that they have sinned by enabling Putin and supporting his crimes, and that they seek redemption. Deeply ingrained religious traditions related to crime, guilty consciences and punishment will help, but atonement won't be easy; it will entail opposing the Russian Orthodox Church and its patriarch, who has sided with the "devil." Russians will need to seek forgiveness outside their own religious institutions, practices, and customs.

The truth and reconciliation commissions introduced by South Africa after the fall of apartheid suggest how Russians might proceed. They will need to tell the world — and Ukrainians, above all — that they have committed terrible crimes of commission and omission, ask for forgiveness, and are ready to atone by providing reparations to the victims of genocide and war. As in the past, Russia's cultural and intellectual elites — the intelligentsia — will have to show the way. The operatic diva Anna Netrebko, for example, could do better than her lukewarm condemnation of the war in March, while conductor Valery Gergiev has refused to do even that. Both could set an example by loudly, ostentatiously, and publicly condemning the regime. As Russian superstars, they have nothing to fear from the regime.

This first step is essential; anything less than a full confession will smack of insincerity and suggest that Russians share Putin's maniacal goals, while disagreeing only about means.

The next step involves a godsend from Putin: mobilization. Russian men must continue to escape the draft, but with even greater vigor. Those who can go abroad should go abroad. Those who cannot should hide in distant towns or villages where police supervision is less intrusive and a ruble goes a long way. Flight and concealment mean hardship, but hardship is surely preferable to a lonely death in the steppes of southern Ukraine.

Russian women have a different task. They must mobilize and demonstrate in the manner of rebellious women in other countries. Russian pots can be as easily banged as Argentinean pans. Fascist police happily gun down men; for whatever reasons, they rarely turn their weapons on women. The demonstrations must be large and long-lasting; and they must take place in every city, town and village in Russia.

If mass disobedience sweeps the country, the forces of coercion will be helpless and the Putin regime will not survive. His successor will be hard-pressed to pursue the same policies that brought Putin to an inglorious end. Peace might then be possible. So, too, might something resembling democracy. Most importantly, Russians will have shown Ukrainians, the world, and themselves that they are sentient human beings with souls and not killing machines.

Alternatively, if Russians fail to opt for redemption, they will deserve all the opprobrium recently voiced by the popular singer, Alla Pugacheva: "My God! What happiness to be hated by the people whom I always could not stand. If they liked me, it would mean that I sang and lived in vain. The reason is clear. Let them grind their teeth. THEY WERE SERFS; BECAME SLAVES."

Quote from: K_Dubb on October 10, 2022, 08:01:34 AMRussia has been jacking around their fertilizer exports to try to get sanctions relaxed, first they froze it for leverage and now trying to bargain.  US State Dept. says they are working with them to ship.  Either way, starving African kids are Pootie's fault for starting the damn war.

How many Ukrainians is up to them.  It's pretty rich for you to want the Ukrainians to just roll over for the poor starving kids in Africa

Likewise how shamelessly pathetic the American propaganda is.

Quote from: SredniVashtar on October 10, 2022, 04:35:11 AMWhat is the point of having nuclear weapons if you can't even use them as a bluff? It's just as well that MD doesn't have any friends, because he'd get raped every time he had the boys round for poker night (by the way, that's not the same poker night that K_Dubb gets up to in the seamier purlieus of Seattle).

This whole 'give Putin what he wants and then maybe he'll go away' can not possibly work. People like MD are typical chicken hawks, they love to sound tough if it doesn't involve any cost to them. It also just shows how effective the Russian propaganda is, because people like that spout it without giving it a second thought.

Likewise how shamelessly pathetic the American propaganda is.

"Eric is short — he's only 6-foot-6," he joked of his 37-year-old son, who was previously the tallest in the family.

This is far more than just score-counting a few negligible counter-offensives.

Quote from: albrecht on October 03, 2022, 05:10:37 PMVWs? I get why they wouldn't want Saabs (maintenance and parts are a pain,) plus they are Swedish.) But going German? For historical reasons alone I would've thought they could've gone Ally. Well, I guess USA because I think the UK mfgs are owned by VW now. So, basically, the Krauts won at least on the vehicle front.

Wheels within wheels and lots of internal politics on all sides besides the international ones. Then there are financial interests also so maybe not even a 'state actor,' though the depth and precision would seem to need some tech and training. OPEC is cutting off supplies again also.

State actor? Antony Blinken has been front and center from the opening act.

QuoteThis hypothesis is eminently sound and looks to be based on information from Russian intelligence sources. Of course, Moscow already has a pretty good idea of what happened (satellites and electronic monitoring working 24/7), but they won't make it public.

QuoteForty years ago (!), the U.S. security state was cheesed off by a Soviet natural gas pipeline from Siberia to Europe. So the CIA arranged to blow it up. The resulting massive explosion was visible from space. It set off U.S. nuclear explosion monitoring alarms, and startled White House security officials not in on the scheme.

We know this today because, years later, the people involved finally started bragging.

The Russians already KNOW who did it and how.

Ukrainian Navy Divers Receive Training on Unmanned Underwater Vehicles

I have my own theory.

Quote from: albrecht on September 30, 2022, 12:54:20 PMWho, what, why, and how?

1) bomb (and type,) earthquake, ship anchor, some other natural event?

2) why was there a yuuge methane leak if, as the news was claiming earlier, that Russia shut down Nord Stream 1, and threatened 2, why would there be a gas leak after the 'event?'

3) Much has been made of Biden's threats, or comments, to the Nord Stream pipelines a while back but he likely doesn't recall them and might not have meant what he threatened or said.

4) Why did the 'events' happen just after the opening of "Baltic Pipe" a new pipeline from Norway to Poland?

5) Cui bono? This could be several parties or countries. Russians were initially blamed, and it could be, but doesn't seem logical when they make money off it, they could simply shut it down (as all the news was claiming,) and it will cost a lot to fix.

Blaming Russia for destroying their own pipelines is just another absurd CIA narrative. This has been a USA/Russia proxy war from the beginning. The annexation of the Eastern provinces was such a big move, one that would inevitably prompt an equally consequential countermove. Cui bono? Europe loses, Russia loses, USA gains and the war must go on.

It seems like you can take your fetishes into the classroom now. I'm wondering if this means that a woman can now wear a rubber cock that drags on the ground and be protected by the school board as well?  What about diapers if you have a fecal fetish, or a gimp mask. Where is the line now?

Symptoms were the same, spasmodic coughing fits for two weeks or so.
Young and old, all survived and it was regarded as a common cold.

Quote from: Jackstar on September 04, 2022, 06:53:59 AMWe had it at home in November 2019. It presented as a fast-progressing flu for about three days; everyone got it and recovered easily, and it was really only notable at the time as remarkable in that I felt anything at all. (I am immune to most Punyling-illnesses and, like their scorn, rarely acknowledge any discomfort in any way beyond eating extra boogers at the dining table.) By now, it would seem that I have fully integrated an effective immune response into my system: no COVID outbreaks have brought about anything exceptional out of me other than an increased tolerance for those wearing poorly-fitted surgical masks with little dicks and bunnies printed on them.

I don't even feel the need to correct other peoples' spelling errors anymore. See? I'm evolving.
