you articulated more knowledge then is contained in the relevant wiki pages.


You know someone is triggered when they use bold, caps and size 10 . :rofl:
Once you get emotive and emotional , it clouds your common sense, perception and rationale.

When that happens, Geo Politics is not the kind of topic you will want to indulge in. Either you take an amoral approach and use realism and understand that all humans especially those in power have a sinister and insidious side in them.
Understand that all ideologue and political stance have their pros and cons and leaders / political parties / countries have their own personal agenda and interest.

If one doesn't take that kind of approach, they will only end up screaming once they don't get their way or when they reach a point where it is too logical to retort and they start calling you names.

That is also the reason why you see an abundant of people screaming on top of their lungs when experts tell them that a biological man cannot be a woman.

I mean , a thousand years from now when people dig up skeletons, they are going to label those with bigger hip structure to be female and a smaller hip structure to be male.

You can still extract DNA for approximately 6.8 million years after death so that's unlikely. :P

I am going to have to do some mental gymnastics in order to make the video below relevant. Pretty sure I posted this previously in one of the other threads, but its good enough to re-post, if I can somehow make it relevant.

here is my attempt:

In the US, there is currently a culture war being waged re: LGBTQIA+. In a broader context, the US has set democrat against republican. Not content to divide its own people, the US is busy around the world ensuring division. None of these policies make sense to rationale people, but rationale people are tying themselves up in knots when trying to deal with these issues.

Looks like I ate a bag of shit.

Shoigu stayed, Surovikin was just officially dismissed.


Interesting.

Cleansing of potential traitors or underperformance on the battle field? Probably former if all that was said about him is true.

I posted this video but I am tended not to believe everything that is being said here. It's such a pity that Tucker did not challenge him a bit more here. Viewers should retain skepticism when viewing this, particularly re: casualties, US troops, WW3 and polish border.

Some of the conclusions may be correct but sometimes quoting people that have sang the same toon no matter what weakens that point. I didn't watch it yet, but while I may agree with certain things from the intro like Ukraine isn't winning, Ukraine is being destroyed etc using Macgregor as the expert on this actually weakens your argument. It weakens it because since this war started he has been much more optimistic about Russian capabilities and a doomer about Ukraine with very little budge regardless of outcomes on the field or other developments. So people already know what song he'll sing.

Tucker is reaching with some of these sources IMO.

I agree.

The thing I would say is, for those people that have not gone far down the rabbit hole, tucker is just one step, and if this makes them curious, well ok.

^babun1024 any news from Sinkova ? Seriously ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzk66XIPL0I


Ukraine lost control of the Sinkovka village but Russians don't control it fully either. For now, Russians are trying to occupy the entire eastern bank of the Oskol river and the eastern heights of Kupyansk ( Washington Street Journal is the source). At the same time, Ukrainians bared western journalists to inform about that region (no access). Very strange, isn't it?

Surovikin was rumored to have conspired with the Wagner insurrectionists, so leadership couldn't trust his loyalty anymore. Shoigu's big trump card is that he's the personification of mediocrity and thus not threatening any of the true power players within Russia. In the hands of any person who's cunning, ambitious and competent, the position of head of MoD would automatically be one of the most powerful in all of Russia and a potential threat to Putin.
