The Conservative Treehouse declares war on Ron DeSantis

Sundance from the Conservative Treehouse is very, very angry with Ron DeSantis right now. So much that he's actually issued an advisory warning those who support a DeSantis run for president in 2024 to unfollow him on Twitter.

The reason for this anger? DeSantis' response to the Mar-a-Lago raid. See more here.

According to Sundance, DeSantis' response was so weak that he may have committed a blunder as bad as Ted Cruz saying "vote your conscience" at the 2016 RNC convention, and perhaps seriously damaged his presidential chances going forward. Some of the comments on the article are even harsher, going as far as accusing DeSantis of intentionally allowing the raid to happen or even being directly involved in it.

Please share your thoughts below.--Geopolitician (talk) 19:17, August 10, 2022 (EDT)

Oh, what's the governor gonna do, call out the National Guard or State Police to arrest the FBI? This ain't Ukraine, you know. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 19:27, August 10, 2022 (EDT)
Sundance says he would've preferred a more forceful response like those of Kari Lake and Anthony Sabatini.--Geopolitician (talk) 19:43, August 10, 2022 (EDT)
There's plenty of time. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 21:43, August 10, 2022 (EDT)
How much would you give him?--Geopolitician (talk) 22:44, August 10, 2022 (EDT)
Conservatives don't react emotionally. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 00:34, August 11, 2022 (EDT)
This is the Fourth Turning, RobS. Emotion trumps reason in these times, even on the right. Besides, don’t we have the right to be suspicious?--Geopolitician (talk) 11:47, August 11, 2022 (EDT)
You're acting like an agent provocateur: Don’t Ignore the Threat of Right-Wing Violence in Wake of Mar-a-Lago Search; Wray condemns threats against FBI after Trump Mar-a-Lago raid; FBI Cincinnati Statement. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 00:19, August 12, 2022 (EDT)
It’s been nearly 80 years since the climax of our last Fourth Turning, World War II. The people who experienced, were traumatized by, and did everything they could to avoid a repeat of that war are now either dead or close to it. The current generations have no clue what it’s like to experience a Fourth Turning or a Fourth Turning climax, which is usually a crisis war. So they will keep pushing the limits of human nature until something catastrophic happens. And then the cycle will reset, but probably not before many have been killed. What will they be killed by? Who knows, other than the fact that human nature is awful.--Geopolitician (talk) 10:44, August 12, 2022 (EDT)
History is organic. It doesn't follow an academic formula. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 23:33, August 12, 2022 (EDT)
Of course history is not going to totally repeat itself. But it sure is going to rhyme. Because human nature has essentially stayed the same since the day God created it.
I don't know how familiar you are with Fourth Turning or Generational Dynamics, but I recommend you do some research on them. There are also forums you can visit, here and here.--Geopolitician (talk) 13:11, August 13, 2022 (EDT)
I'm interested in facts, not theories. Here's a simple maxim: Begin with facts to develop theories. Do not begin with theories to mold the facts to fit your theory. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 15:59, August 13, 2022 (EDT)
And where do you think those theories came from? Facts and fact patterns, with the research being done by people like Neil Howe, William Strauss, and John Xenakis. Again, do your homework on them. Read books like The Fourth Turning and Generational Dynamics. The former has to be bought, but the latter can be read for free on the respective website I shared. And again, go to the forums to expand your knowledge on them. You may be surprised what you find.--Geopolitician (talk) 22:24, August 13, 2022 (EDT)
More noise ("noise" is a term used in intelligence work to dismiss irrelevant information. You should be wary when that noise is attributed to you). RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 22:28, August 13, 2022 (EDT)
Now you’re basically calling Howe, Strauss, and Xenakis intelligence agents. Nice. I happen to know Xenakis personally, and I’ll tell him you said that. Knowing him, he’ll probably tell me to invite you to come onto his forum as a guest, for a debate. Would you be up for that?--Geopolitician (talk) 11:22, August 14, 2022 (EDT)
I'm sure it would be interesting, but what I said in this context is, you are creating noise. There is no relationship - zero - none - of Xanakis to the Trump raid which is the subject under discussion. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 16:30, August 14, 2022 (EDT)
Okay, so the conversation drifted a bit. I'll acknowledge that one.--Geopolitician (talk) 23:35, August 14, 2022 (EDT)
I hope you learned something from this about operational political intelligence: while attempting to convert outrage from the FBI attack on Trump into a MAGA outrage attack on DeSantis, you gave away your own hand and motivations. There is a way to conduct such false flag operations, but you're being a bit too obvious and amateurish with no fall-back contingency. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 23:45, August 14, 2022 (EDT)
I wouldn’t have posted this topic had Sundance not written that article. What do you think his motivations were for writing it?
Also, you’re acting like I’m even trying to hide my own motivations. Yes, I want to turn this site against DeSantis, for reasons which Andy, the site owner, happens to agree with. Just because you don’t agree with what I have to say, doesn’t make me a troll, an agent provocateur, or whatever you want to call me. Especially considering the fact that I cited a source that you yourself had cited in rather glowing terms just hours before.--Geopolitician (talk) 10:34, August 15, 2022 (EDT)
If Trump and DeSantis ever meet up in a primary contest, we'll discuss it then. Til then, leave DeSantis alone to continue firing Soros prosecutors. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 15:17, August 15, 2022 (EDT)
Okay, if you want to remain part of the "wait and see" crowd, you can be my guest. Perfectly understandable.--Geopolitician (talk) 14:37, August 16, 2022 (EDT)

Also, let me issue my own response to the Mar-a-Lago raid, so I don't sound like a hypocrite. The CIA, FBI, NSA, IRS, and many other federal law enforcement agencies are corrupt and (probably) need to be dismantled. No cleaning house. Just dismantle the whole thing. Hopefully Trump goes that far if he's re-elected in 2024. He has every incentive to do so.--Geopolitician (talk) 22:46, August 10, 2022 (EDT)

Would take an act of Congress, probably after a lengthy bi-partisan study and detailed proposal of what to replace it with. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 00:34, August 11, 2022 (EDT)
I am sad to hear this about DeSantis. He might be president someday. Unless Trump is elected and picks a VP who is electable in 2028. Trump is the frontrunner in 2024. Conservative (talk) 23:35, August 10, 2022 (EDT)
If DeSantis keeps this up he won't be president someday. He'll eventually be denounced by Trump as a RINO, and that will be the end of his political career.--Geopolitician (talk) 00:08, August 11, 2022 (EDT)
Keep what up? He did nothing. He's focused on his job outside the federal government. Why all the scandalmongering?
All Sundance did was call on DeSantis supporters to send him a message. No longterm breach, as you are trying to portray it. DeSantis is not the issue; the DOJ & Lavrenty Garland are the issue. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 00:34, August 11, 2022 (EDT)
If he wanted to merely calm on DeSantis supporters to send a message, he wouldn’t have posted that tweet demanding the “DeSantis 2024” crowd to unfollow him.--Geopolitician (talk) 11:47, August 11, 2022 (EDT)
Do you really think DeSantis is that stupid, that he does not know he is #2 on Biden/Garand's hit list? RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 02:28, August 11, 2022 (EDT)
How do you know he’s the #2 target?--Geopolitician (talk) 11:47, August 11, 2022 (EDT)
Why would you grant Biden/Garland good faith that he is not? RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 20:12, August 11, 2022 (EDT)
Because DeSantis is anti-Trump.--Geopolitician (talk) 10:44, August 12, 2022 (EDT)
Donald Trump is 73 years old. The presidential election is 27 months off. If Donald Trump drops dead of a heart attack and DeSantis becomes the frontrunner and nominee, how do plan to walk back all your garbage and salvage you own reputation and credibility? RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 19:05, August 12, 2022 (EDT)
First off, Donald Trump is 76, not 73. Second, if Trump drops dead of a heart attack or something, I'll instantly switch gears and tout a Rand Paul and/or Tulsi Gabbard candidacy (DeSantis ought to stay far away from challenging them as well). Hell, I may end up doing that even if Trump does end up running, because I have doubts that Trump has learned the lessons he needed to learn from the rookie mistakes made during his first term.--Geopolitician (talk) 13:06, August 13, 2022 (EDT)
That's all fine and good, the problem is, as of now neither Trump or DeSantis are running. You're giving away your hand as a political operative. You ought to either being doing work on the geopolitical/foreign policy front, or domestic front with FBI abuses. Elsewise, you're just trolling and tossing noise into what is a confusing situation for many people, to create more noise. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 15:55, August 13, 2022 (EDT)

On another note, why is DeSantis employing an agent of Deep State puppet Mikheil Saakashvili as his press secretary?[2]--Geopolitician (talk) 12:13, August 11, 2022 (EDT)

The tone is turning negative at the Gateway Pundit too (the comments, not the article).[3]--Geopolitician (talk) 13:11, August 11, 2022 (EDT)

You're trolling again. Just go back to keeping us informed about Iran and stay out of Republican party politics. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 16:14, August 11, 2022 (EDT)
You need to focus on the news, such as Merrick Garland allegedly asking the court to unseal the warrant, and stop trolling us with excess noise about DeSantis or any other potential GOP presidential candidate. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 17:40, August 11, 2022 (EDT)
I'm well aware of Merrick Garland's criminal behavior in relation to the Mar-a-Lago raid, and I'm 100% onboard impeaching that anus. But do you not understand the importance of the 2024 election? If 2020 wasn't America's last chance before total collapse, 2024 will be. There won't be another chance in 2028. So there needs to be talk about 2024, and a lot of it, even though yes, we're not even halfway through Biden's term. Because if we screw this up, there's no coming back from it. I cannot stress that enough, especially since many conservatives have been falling for for what I strongly suspect to be a trojan horse candidate for the GOP Establishment.--Geopolitician (talk) 22:22, August 11, 2022 (EDT)
Oh, good. Then do some work on Neustar, which evidently was in the boxes at Mar-a-Lago and interfered in the 2020 election, and stop playing the role of DNC operative and hitman. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 22:28, August 11, 2022 (EDT)
I’m open to the possibility the raid had to do with Neustar. I’m also open to the possibility that it has to do with North Korea. Alternatively, I’m open to the possibility no boxes were taken at all, except those which were planted in advance by whoever was the “informant.” Either way, that doesn’t change the big picture. The FBI is corrupt, perhaps beyond redemption. We all know this. But what many people here *don’t* know is that DeSantis gave a weak response to its corruption.--Geopolitician (talk) 10:44, August 12, 2022 (EDT)
You're just creating noise. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 17:53, August 12, 2022 (EDT)

Follow-up article by Sundance.--Geopolitician (talk) 11:14, August 14, 2022 (EDT)

DeSantis slams FBI raid, Merrick Garland, Anthony Fauci.
Well duh. Rather than pile on where his voice gets lost in the noise, DeSantis spreads his comments out over time before raid fatigue sets in, claims his own headline, and keeps the issue alive. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 18:14, August 15, 2022 (EDT)
That's... an interesting interpretation of his actions. Although having seen his TPUSA speech the other night he still seems to be wanting to distance himself from the Trump element of it, framing the issue as a general violation of civil rights as opposed to a target political persecution of a specific individual. I mean he's technically not wrong in his description of the raid, but still. Meanwhile, Sundance doesn't seem to be buying that theory, given this tweet here.--Geopolitician (talk) 14:37, August 16, 2022 (EDT)
Big deal. So DeSantis' Trump worshipping isn't up to your standards. To his own master he rises and falls. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 17:33, August 16, 2022 (EDT)
You don't seem to understand Sundance's criticism. Go to the CTH site and search the Archives for "GOPe". That is what Sundance is discussing. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 17:37, August 16, 2022 (EDT)
I know exactly what perspective Sundance is criticizing DeSantis from. He, along with I and many others, suspects DeSantis is covertly allying with the GOPe against Trump.
And do I have to say it again? I would prefer a Rand Paul-Tulsi Gabbard ticket over Trump running again. That alone should tell you that I'm not doing this because "I worship Trump."--Geopolitician (talk) 12:59, August 18, 2022 (EDT)
"Conspiring"? Not necessarily. There's a thing called "contingencies". That's why we have an Office of Vice President. What if Zelensky adds Trump to the SBU's hit list? The government of Ukraine tried to take Trump out in 2016 when it colluded with the DNC to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 13:33, August 18, 2022 (EDT)
Any further attempts to take Trump out will only intensify the ongoing suspicions many conservatives have of DeSantis, unless he drastically changes his behavior between now and the midterm (general) elections.--Geopolitician (talk) 00:03, August 21, 2022 (EDT)

I'm not going to post links to every article Sundance writes concerning DeSantis, so I'll just post this link instead. It's the site's archive of DeSantis-related articles, which is seemingly growing by the day.

Fall of the Republic

There is no precedent in American history for anything like the FBI raid on Mar-a-Largo, but we can look to Roman history. In 52 BC, Titus Annius Milo, a supporter of Pompey, was exiled for the killing of Clodius, a henchmen of Caesar's. After this, Milo's supporters wanted revenge on Caesar. As long as Caesar held office, he was immune from prosecution. When his term as governor of Gaul was up in 49 BC, Caesar took his army across the Rubicon, marched on Rome, and had the Popular Assembly declare him dictator. What about those citizens who were too afraid of Caesar's soldiers to attend the assembly or to vote? "Silence implies consent," said the dictator. Granting dictatorial powers had precedent in Roman history as a way to deal with an emergency, so Caesar was still nominally a Republican. Within the next few years, however, he had issued coins with his title given in an unconstitutional manner: "dictator for life." He was also preparing to declare himself a god when he was assassinated. PeterKa (talk) 12:09, August 11, 2022 (EDT)

We ceased being a Republic decades ago. We are now an Empire, in all but name. We even have a de facto God-Emperor, called the President. The office has essentially been deified, and the nation has become pagan. God Save the Republic, but God Damn the Empire.--Geopolitician (talk) 10:50, August 12, 2022 (EDT)

Bill Gates will kill us all

Bill Gates is back in the news giving his money to his foundation and erasing himself from from the Forbes billionaire list.

Remember how we all hated Gates back in the 1990s? That was just because he got incredibly rich selling the worst software on the market. What was Windows? Unix, but slower and with more bugs. Microsoft Office was Geoworks, but less user-friendly and less capable. But if it was from Microsoft, it was the industry standard and you had to buy it.

Now it seems that Gates may get the last laugh and that he will soon be in a position to kill us all. Gates is the second biggest funder of the the World Health Organization, after the United States government. WHO gave us the covid panic while whitewashing China's involvement. I say not a dime more for this corrupt group until they admit Taiwan as a member. I don't think it is coincidence that Peter Daszak, financier of coronavirus genetic engineering, met Wuhan bat lady Shi Zhengli at a Gates-funded conference in 2019.

Gates also funded the bogus projections by Imperial College that triggered the lockdowns. No, Gates isn't making money off covid vaccines. Even if he owned every covid patent, that would bring in only $40 billion. He has spent more than that on vaccine research. He did buy up a lot of assets, notably farmland, when prices were low. Despite his pandemic profiteering, I assume his motive is something else. He wants to create a frankenvirus that will kill us off and reduce the global population.

When you can become richer as a philanthropist than you ever could as a businessman, something is wrong the laws concerning non-profit status.

Of course there is a Jeffrey Epstein connection. Bill's wife Melinda complained of this during the divorce proceedings. As far as the public record is concerned, Epstein was just helping Gates with his taxes. This was, I should add, after Epstein's 2008 conviction for sex trafficking. So far, no one has gone on record to explain exactly what the problem was.

See "When billionaires like Bill Gates give away 'virtually all' their wealth, where does it go?" and "Why I hate Bill Gates." PeterKa (talk) 18:55, August 12, 2022 (EDT)

Joe Biden will not be the next president of the United States. The 13 keys to a U.S. president being reelected

History professor Allan Lichtman developed a model with 13 keys/factors that has accurately predicted every US presidential race since 1984. So far Joe Biden is weak as far as these keys: #6, #8, #10, #11 and #12. Major news publications and some Democrats have been talking about someone else running than Joe Biden in 2024 so Biden is weak on key #2 so far. The 2022 midterms will reveal key #1, but so far it favors the GOP so Biden is weak on key #1. And some of the other keys relate to post 2022 midterm events. The GOP frontrunners Trump/DeSantis are largely polarizing rather than charismatic or national heros so Biden wins on key #13 (But Trump is funny and his base loves him). But with the FBI raid on Trump's home the GOP has rallied around Trump so I doubt DeSantis will win the nomination.

When five or fewer keys are false, the incumbent party wins; when any six or more are false, the challenging party wins. Conservative (talk) 22:18, August 13, 2022 (EDT)

Rand Paul: Repeal the Espionage Act

Per Rand Paul's Twitter:

The espionage act was abused from the beginning to jail dissenters of WWI. It is long past time to repeal this egregious affront to the 1st Amendment.

Personally I would second this, but I'd like to hear your thoughts too.

Propaganda update

Comment on the above: Yes, this could be called a "hostage video." What's missing from this narrative is, this woman possibly was arrested by Putin's forces for protesting the war in Moscow. She probably was sentenced to community service and required to visit Donbas as terms of her rehabilitation agreement (kinda like J6 prisoners being forced to read Critical Race Theory in their spare time a sole form of entertainment).

Anti-Russian propaganda

Cathedral of the Armed Forces outside Moscow, completed in 2020. [1] Paid for with federal tax dollars.

These are the simple facts: It was the Russian Orthodox Church that defeated Communism in the Soviet Union, not NATO. To equate Russia today to Nazism, fascism, communism, or any sort of authoritarianism, is historical revisionism equating Christianity and the Russian Orthodox Church to Nazism, fascism, communism, or any other sort of authoritarianism. Please stop. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 18:38, August 23, 2022 (EDT)

When Russia threw off communism, it was desecularized. And it has remained desecularized til this day. There is no, and never has been, an official" separation of church and state" in traditional Russian culture.

I wish the conflict could be worked out quickly now that it hasn't been prevented. But it looks like this war will drag on for at least another year - hopefully at a lower intensity. It takes two to tango and neither side wants to tango right now. Conservative (talk) 13:53, August 24, 2022 (EDT)
We've reached the U.S.-funded terrorist/insurgency phase that spreads outside Ukraine borders.
There may be certain advantages of this for Russia; since the United States insists on using terrorism, Russia can carry out its reprisals in Europe, Washington, and elsewhere without fear of NATO invoking Article 5. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 17:47, August 24, 2022 (EDT)
We knew at the time Congress voted for $54 billion in aid for Ukraine that the US (State Dept, CIA, and Pentagon) were planning on carrying out an extended Nazi insurgency (consisting of terrorism, assassination, and sabotage) because the Ukrainian military was already defeated in the field at that time. That's why Congress voted for it. $54 billion will be enough to carry on a Ukrainian nazi insurgency in Kherson district, Crimea, Southern Russia & Moscow, and the Baltic region for 3-5 years.
I use the term "nazi" to describe the partisans from which the "resistance" will be recruited (others may use "nationalist" or "ultra-nationalist"; "ultra-nationalist" is simply a code word for nazi, and even a "nationalist" is not necessarily willing to go on a suicide mission like shahids or jihadis do. But that's what this extended insurgency of saboteurs and assassins requires. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 22:00, August 24, 2022 (EDT)

Great movie. Highly recommended, It's about how the war started in 2014.
Synopsis: Two veterans of the Afghan War of the 1980s find themselves in Ukraine in 2014. One becomes a commander of Ukrainian troops, the other an ambulance driver in the Luhansk Republic. Among numerous subplots, the Ukrainian commander is eventually captured by LPR and meets up with the ambulance driver, who's sick of war and killing and that's why he drives the ambulance. The Ukrainian commander's divorced with no family, so war and killing is all he knows, and that's why he took the job training Ukrainian nazi punks to be killers.

Politics is at its most interesting point in life. We are living in interesting times. And because I like history, I find politics interesting. One of my work endeavors has the perk of me receiving free digital promotional copies of best-selling authors who write about society/culture/politics. I also have contact with filmmakers who deal with these topics too. So I get exposed to interesting information/ideas.

But if you had told me several years ago that Ukraine could spark a conflict that could cause a lot of political changes, I would have been surprised. But if you think about it, the average American would have been surprised if you told him world history would be greatly changed due to an event related to the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. Just a few weeks before WWI began, a squadron of British Royal Navy ships made a friendly visit to the German navy for Kiel Week (One of the largest sailing events in the world), which is a week that had been held at the end of June since 1882.

Politics can be like dominos. A whole series of events can be released by the fall of a proverbial domino.

But as interesting as politics is, there is obviously more to life than politics. For example, the Apostle Paul wrote: "No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier." (1 Timothy 2:4).

At the same time, a lot of politics is petty tit for tat. So that is another reason I will be following politics less. Conservative (talk) 05:50, August 25, 2022 (EDT)

Zelensky's domestic political crisis

Edited transcript:

There are a lot of accusations in Ukraine internally of Ukrainian president, that he knew that Russia was going to attack starting from about September-October time frame. To be fair, probably was even much earlier. It was very clear since about April 2021 that attack is imminent. But the point is, that he knew all of the details how the Russian troops were going to be attacking and so on. And he received precise Russian plan of attack in the end of January. At the same time internally, the message to the population was 'Russia is not attacking us. Keep going. Keep moving. Keep working. Don't pay attention to all of this. Everything is wonderful and fine.'
So, as a result, many people believed that and were relaxed, and the tragedies that happened to civilian population in Ukraine are largely blamed for these messages that were effectively causing unnecessary deaths among civilian population. So out of that, there is a lot of internal discussion or accusations of the president and his group of people, which always includes Yermak, and then Arestovich. There is one more. His name is Arahamiya. So they were basically sort of refuting all of this, you know, information that the Russian attack is imminent. So now they actually came out with a very pathetic explanation of why they were doing it. The explanation was, 'Okay, if we didn't do it, Ukraine would fail within three days.' That just kind of gives us very good feeling about the sort of moral compass of this person who does that, and in our opinion, it's totally disgusting and disrespectful to Ukrainian population.
So we just want to bring this so everybody sort of is aware that the Ukrainian president is not viewed the same way internally the way it's sort of portrayed by the let's say Western media and sort of the sole defender of Ukraine in Ukraine. It's very clear, majority of population is fighting not for Ukrainian president but for their own self-determination. And in many ways, he's not part of that equation of self-determination. You can almost say this is basically like a free writer [free lancer?] who basically uses people's desire for freedom to his own advantage.
So this is just one political piece of information that we would like to share so you have better understanding of sort of internal politics. We are trying to prepare discussion of how Russian propaganda is trying to portray the situation in Ukraine to the conservatives in the West, and most specifically in the US. We didn't discuss it in early August. President of Hungary went to the US and he met with representative from the CPAC. I think it's called the Conservative Political Action Committee. So basically, it's just an influential political group that defends conservative agenda. And there basically Orban was relaying the message on behalf of the Russian president. Not so much even Russian president. It's really just Russian top where essentially they were trying to appeal to the conservatives, by basically saying 'Okay, we of the same kind, was the same blood in, you know, in Ukraine.' This is, you know, uh, people in Ukraine completely, I would say, uh, on the opposite spectrum of conservatism, and therefore, you 'shouldn't be supporting them'. And as we all know there is election coming up in the US in November. So the Russia's propaganda hope is that one. And basically, the idea is that a Republican Party which, uh, to great extent represents this conservative use will win. And that will allow Russia to influence the actions of the US and basically stop support of Ukraine, because the message is, 'Okay, you're supporting corrupt Ukraine president, corrupt Ukrainian government.' So it's always conveniently being admitted that the support is actually, it is support for Ukrainian population who fights for its own freedom. So this is hopefully kind of more or less clear that, so the big picture, big game that's being played by all different actors.
And you know if you have questions I'll try to make it clear if I haven't made it clear. Hopefully this is not confusing to everyone. Hopefully everybody kind of more or less understands what I'm trying to say. And I'll try to discuss this later once I get a little bit more time in more detail this whole sort of because we approaching this November elections where probably the Democratic majority will lose its majority. And so, uh, and there will be probably changes because, uh, Republican majority, uh, probably still largely in support of Ukraine because a lot of them still understand that this is not, sort of where, it's not regional war between Ukraine and Russia. This is more of Russian attempt to challenge status quo and status quo of America in the world. And so there is that clear. But there is also strong group within the Republican party that sort of more sides with this, uh, isolation isolation isolationists. Sorry. They tried to be a isolation. Basically, they would like to isolate themselves and the US and sort say, 'Oh, we're going to focus on internal problems,' which is very convenient for Russia and for Russian war machine, because obviously that leaves Ukraine pretty much defenseless against the current Russian attack.
So again, this was just a little bit of preview. But the most important part of it is this absolutely disgusting message by Ukrainian president who actually tried to justify his own lies, that the lies are for the good of everyone, and otherwise it would have been even worse. And this is, we review this as completely unacceptable."

Comment: So, there you have it - straight from a CIA propagandist in his daily update who speaks with what sounds like a fake Polish accent. The CIA has given up on Zelensky, and is worried about the midterms. Zelensky will probably be out by November, if not any day now. This will fit nicely in Conservapedia proven right, since I've been reporting on it since early June. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 05:33, August 17, 2022 (EDT)

Additionally: Although we have no inflation report from Ukraine yet, my guess is it's got to be about 100% right now, being the estimates are that GDP has shrunk 50% since February. The dollar is probably in most usage right now (even moreso than the Euro), but pensions, etc. are still paid in local currency. Pumping more dollars into Ukraine will only add to dollar inflation inside the country, since nothing is being produced. This adds to Zelensky's plunging approval.

Here in the U.S., inflation is a godsend if it adds to displeasure with the war in the U.S., cause about 700 Ukrainians are being needlessly and senselessly slaughtered daily now for the past 3 months because of the %$#@ 7$&@@@$% running this country and NATO. They may never stand trial for their crimes, but they are the ONLY reason this insane slaughter continues. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 06:55, August 17, 2022 (EDT)

OK. So it's now your considered opinion that:
  1. Putin always intended a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
  2. The Russians lied through their teeth about this for months.
  3. US intelligence penetrated the highest levels of Russian decision-making and obtained exquisite detail about the invasion plans.
  4. The Biden administration was spot-on in their explicit warnings an invasion was imminent.
  5. Zelensky was negligent in failing to prepare for this entirely foreseeable act of Russian aggression.
  6. The Ukrainian people are fighting a just war for their right to "self-determination".
Your fan fiction is gonna need some rewriting, my man. ConwayIII (talk) 10:13, August 17, 2022 (EDT)
It's not my opinion. The above text is a CIA report in English in open source.
  1. Putin didn't. The Russian power centers have always had this contingency.
  2. The CIA lied through its teeth for months.
  3. Not only that, Russian power centers and military provided the full details voluntarily.
  4. Yes.
  5. Yes, Ukrainian public opinion now reads Zelensky was negligent.
  6. The just war theory and "self-determination" are the talking points to use after the fall of Zelensky and House Democrats.
That's my analysis of the current propaganda points issued by the CIA. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 14:22, August 17, 2022 (EDT)
Here's my opinion: the people of Donbas, like the people of Taiwan, are fighting for the right of "self-determination." RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 14:31, August 17, 2022 (EDT)
I'm old enough to remember the Biden administration's warnings re. invasion being dismissed as NATO warmongering on these very pages. What's got you so spooked you're trying this weird, incoherent pivot, man? ConwayIII (talk) 17:40, August 17, 2022 (EDT)
Here's the biggest flaw in Western/CIA propaganda - the notion that Putin is a crazed dictator. He's not. He's a moderate voice who presents the consensus view of a collective leadership. The idea that without Putin, the world would be safe for cheap food, fossil fuels, and transgender democracy is just bs. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 14:52, August 18, 2022 (EDT)


The coming scenarios are pretty clear: Zelensky gets ousted, GOP takes over the House and gridlock spending sets in. What makes August right now different from a month ago is, the Russians seem more in a mood to talk right now. What's more obvious is, the Russians will continue taking territory to place their gains out of HIMAR range. The idea of withdrawing from Crimea, Donbas, Zaporozhye or Kherson - forget it. The Russians will not even accept talk like that as entering negotiations in good faith.
The $53 billion appropriated by Congress will continue insurgent and sabotage resistance operations for years after a formal surrender and demilitarization of Ukrainian armed forces. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 18:17, August 17, 2022 (EDT)
Back in the real world, of course, the Russians took the bait & have now massed their forces where their supply lines are longest & most vulnerable, and where there's capable & determined partisans target spotting across the entire rear area. Your boys should've stuck to trying to grind it out in the Donbas. Slovyansk & Kramatorsk say hi, btw. ConwayIII (talk) 21:12, August 17, 2022 (EDT)
Slovyansk & Kramatorsk are Russian cities where, according to Ukrainian frontline sources, can't wait for their Russian liberators and to fly the Russian flag. The Siversk-Bakhmut line is crumbling right now. Desertions are 33%.
The Ukrainian regime is playing a shell game: they sent 200,000 untrained conscripts, up to 70 years old, to the front with 30 rounds of ammunition and an AK-47. On foot. No Armour. No artillery. The Russians have no interest in killing these people. So it's become a shell game of hunting down mechanized Ministry of Interior Nazi forces and AFU Special Forces. The so-called "Kherson counteroffensive" has been canceled til next year, per London Financial Times. The encirclement of Kharkov, again another Russian city, has begun. This siege will go on throughout the winter (like Germany, they will have no food or gas heating). The only hope for humanitarian relief anywhere in Ukraine at this moment is the removal of Zelensky. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 21:43, August 17, 2022 (EDT)
Additionally, after the Kherson & Zaporozhye referendums on Sept. 11, conscription will be introduced in those new Republics, enlarging Allied forces. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 21:56, August 17, 2022 (EDT)
Since the beginning, the Russians were outnumbered at least 3.5 to 1. The Russians have lost a little more than 5,000 KIA. The Ukrainians have 50,000 KIA and climbing.
A little known fact about Russian forces, when you see stats that say Russia has 140,000 troops, only 50% are combat forces. The rest are support workers, cooks, medical, logistics supply, humanitarian relief workers, etc. As of right now, Russia really only has a little more than 60,000 combat fighters across the whole front; Ukraine has about 40,000 in the Donbas cauldron right now, and 200,000 on the Kherson front that can't move forward.
So the troop ratio remains at 3:1, and the kill ratio 10:1. No change. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 22:07, August 17, 2022 (EDT)
Correction: The Russians have slightly under 90,000 combat troops. They brough in an additional 28,000 about three months ago after the fall of Mariupol at the time of the Popasnaye offensive. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 13:33, August 19, 2022 (EDT)
<digression> Without getting into a wider discussion on Russian mobilization, there is a discernible pattern in Russian operations. It appears to me that they do three days of intense ground fighting, then three days of rest (while artillery strikes continue). This isn't simultaneous across the whole front, but appears to occur in certain sectors and villages. In the down time, they reassess, resupply, account for causalities, de-mining operations, etc. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 13:41, August 19, 2022 (EDT)
As far Ukraine's right to determination, it was foolish for them to talk about joining NATO. To use an analogy, I have the right to stand in front of a bull and wave a red cape. But if I do that, I should not be surprised if the bull charges at me. Ukraine does not have a huge body mass and horns so they should not pretend it is a case of a bull vs. a bull. They are country small in resources, so they should be wary of waving red capes in front of bulls. This is a case of common sense and Zelensky and/or his predecessors were foolish when they publicly declared interest in joining NATO. Conservative (talk) 12:55, August 17, 2022 (EDT)
"They" didn't talk about NATO - NATO & the US staged the illegal coup that brought the Maidan regime to power. The Obama State Department placed Russophobic Nazis in charge of the Ministry of Defense and Interior (secret police). The Russophobic Nazis received US funding and NATO assistance and training immediately, and began a war against their own civilians of ethnic Russian heritage. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 13:47, August 18, 2022 (EDT)
The first big battle in 2014 in the Donbas war was the "Battle for Donetsk Airport". Why was the airport of strategic value? Russia had ground access to Donbas. The Ukrainian military, which the new Maidan regime did not trust cause soldiers rebelled against the illegal regime and refused to carry out Kyiv orders to shoot ethnic Russian Ukrainian citizens, also had ground access to Donbas. But the airport is of immense strategic value to NATO & the US. Without it, they couldn't carry out their mission to create a NATO base on Russia's border. Look at the videos, which Youtube censors. CIA paramilitary obviously carried out the attack. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 14:01, August 18, 2022 (EDT)
This is U.S. military doctrine, not Russian or Ukrainian. In any large scale operation, the U.S. must secure airbases first. It's why we have Supercarriers. The raid on Donetsk Airport was a bit too much of a giveaway, and the U.S. tipped its hand that it was directly, militarily involved in the Maidan coup. But any documents about that are still classified in Obama's presidential papers, which are not in the hands of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) yet. Neither have 30 million digital files been turned over to the National Archives. But the FBI hasn't raided Obama's place yet. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 14:17, August 18, 2022 (EDT)
Things disappear from the National Archives anyway. For example Spiro Agnew's resignation letter, or Hillary Clinton's FBI interview after the death of Vince Foster. In Sandy Berger's case, he got caught trying to remove evidence that he knew of the threat bin Laden posed. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 14:35, August 18, 2022 (EDT)
P.S. Of course, this does not excuse Russia for any of its misdeeds. But to use another analogy, if a short woman walks around at 1am in a bad neighborhood in a lightly trafficked area with a miniskirt, lots of cleavage showing and gets raped that does not excuse the rapist. He should be put behind bars or even executed. On the other hand, the rape victim should have behaved in a more precautionary manner. But with that being said, Japan's streets are a lot safer for women than streets in the West so its society is a lot healthier in this respect. I am not a fan of victim blaming, but doing things like locking your car doors, not leaving your car keys in the ignition while your car is parked, locking home doors, etc. are good practices. Nations have to use common sense too. Conservative (talk) 13:08, August 17, 2022 (EDT)

Ukraine was also foolish for hassling and committing violence against Russian speakers in Eastern Ukraine. And if there are enough separatists in a region and you have a powerful and somewhat aggressive neighbor who would like the separatists to leave your country and/or become a part of the powerful/aggressive country and you are a weak country, perhaps it is best in some cases to let that region go as far as being a part of your country. Conservative (talk) 13:43, August 17, 2022 (EDT)

The shake up continues

In addition to firing Zelensky's childhood friend and business partner in entertainment productions as head of the Ukrainian Gestapo, and replacing local heads of the Gestapo offices, Zelensky may can the Defense Minister and replace him with the commander in chief of the armed forces. Zelensky's been in a tiff with the C-o-C for months, cause the top general wants to save lives of soldiers and Zelensky's just been throwing them away. So moving Gen. Zalushny to a spot where Lockheed Martin and Raytheon can bribe him directly, and shut down CIA machinations to replace Zelensky with Zalushny might head off Zelensky's removal temporarily.

Anyway, the scale of the slaughter is impossible to hide in Ukraine anymore. The hunt for fall guys is on. And the EU & Washington are getting fed up with Zelensky. The PR people in Western media haven't got the memo yet. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 15:09, August 18, 2022 (EDT)

Ukraine: It's time for the Europeans to step up and for the Americans to step back

Russia has about 144 million people. Europe has about 750 million people. America is deeply in debt. I would prefer that the Europeans handle this problem that is in their backyard. America should focus on fixing its internal problems and fixing its trade imbalance with China along with mitigating Chinese intellectual property theft. If China can't economically afford to attack Taiwan, it probably will not. And I would like to see the Chinese Communist Party fall. Polling shows that concern about Russia is low on most Americans' top priorities. I am a typical American when it comes to my degree of focus on Russia. Given America's astronomical amount of sovereign debt, I don't think America can afford to be the world's policeman anymore. Conservative (talk) 10:47, August 17, 2022 (EDT)

P.S. One of the causes of the French Revolution was France's economic problems. France helped fund the American Revolution which put a big financial strain on France. There is a lot of division in the USA. American needs to have a greater focus on the USA and less of a focus on Ukraine. Let the Europeans give more financial support to the Ukrainians (military aid, etc.) and America bankroll the Ukrainians less or not at all. Conservative (talk) 11:00, August 17, 2022 (EDT)
Europe is bankrupt, depleted, and on a suicidal recession course. Aid & sanctions have destroyed Europe's economy. Ukrainian refugees compete with African and Muslim refugees for limited government resources, like housing, and expose the deep white supremacist nature of "Western democracies". Ukrainian male refugees are draft dodgers and bring crime and public drunkenness; Ukrainian female refugees are exploited in the sex trade. Europe not only has nothing more to give Ukraine, it's on a suicidal course directed from Washington. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 16:02, August 17, 2022 (EDT)
Europe has the world's second largest atheist population. It's not surprising some European nations have foolish policies and a near future of demographic decline.

This is so sad. By avoiding talk of Ukraine joining NATO and agreeing to Ukraine being a neutral country, all of this could have been avoided perhaps. And the libertine, gay parades in European countries didn't help Europe/Russia relations either!
I have written on European/UK decline for some time and how godlessness contributes to this. I saw this coming.
But there is some light down the tunnel. Peak secularization will hit all parts of Europe by 2050 followed by desecularization (This has already happened in some parts of Europe). But sadly, that isn't even all good news because although evangelical Christianity is growing in Europe, there are nations in Europe with sizable Muslim populations that will grow fairly quickly generation wise such as France, UK, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and Austria. But in terms of not having sizable Muslim populations, Portugal, Spain, Ireland and East Europe have been much wiser. Muslim populations that get to 10% or over usually have problems with riots, terrorism, etc. See: What Islam Isn't - Dr. Peter Hammond
I like the UK in a lot of respects so none of this brings me joy - except for taunting evolutionists of course! Conservative (talk) 19:00, August 18, 2022 (EDT)

Pulling out the crystal ball after Washington state

The non-partisan August primary in Washington state is a much-watched predictor of the subsequent national general election. This year, the Dems were five points below where they were in 2018. In 2018, Americans nationally voted 44.8 for House Republican candidates and 53.4 for Dems. That suggests a 50-49 Republican vote this November.[5] After all the talk of a red wave, it is essentially a dead heat at this point. The liberal media is convinced that the Democrat recovery is due to the emphasis on Trump and January 6. So we can expect a lot more of that. See "Tucker Carlson: Trump ‘obviously’ going to be indicted." I suspect the shift is a result of the decline in gas prices myself. PeterKa (talk) 01:13, August 19, 2022 (EDT)

So Biden screws up for 21 months, tosses a few bones in the closing days, and suddenly he's praised by the MSM as the ghost of Obama resurrected from the dead. That's how cheaply Dems in their 20s are willing to sell their votes. Blacks and Hispanics however, aren't motivated. So the MSM is ratcheting up the racist "Defund the FBI" rhetoric. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 04:57, August 19, 2022 (EDT)
After seven years of investigating Trump, Russia, and Ukraine, the best the Dems can up with is to recycle allegations about classified materials that Obama's FBI made against Hillary back in 2015-2016. Why didn't Obama raid Hillary's home?
The logical next step is for the Dems to indict Trump. The base will be hugely disappointed if he isn't indicted before the midterm. But indictment is also a risky proposition, a leap into uncharted territory. At least that's the way I'm reading today's Washington Post: "What Biden could gain from pardoning Trump." PeterKa (talk) 07:10, August 19, 2022 (EDT)
That's an interesting prospect. A pardon has to be accepted, and accepting it is an admission of guilt. Trump may choose to fight it out up to SCOTUS. An indictment may not come until the 2024 primaries. Indicting Trump now probably wouldn't save the House for Democrats. A GOP House brings its own set of problems. While a GOP House means gridlock and a break on spending, the GOP has to deal with accusations of not caring while "people are hurting". RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 13:01, August 19, 2022 (EDT)

Rasmussen Reports, August 19, 2022: "The 2022 midterm elections are now 81 days away, and Republicans have a five-point lead in their bid to recapture control of Congress.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that, if the elections for Congress were held today, 46% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for the Republican candidate, while 41% would vote for the Democrat. Just four percent (4%) would vote for some other candidate, but another eight percent (8%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The GOP lead is two points higher than last week, when they led 46%-43%. Republicans have led the Generic Congressional Ballot all year, although their lead has narrowed significantly over the past three weeks."[7]

Rasmussen does polling of the most likely voters. Most likely voter polls are more accurate than many of the less expensive to conduct polls.

China has the biggest atheist-controlled, communist government in the world and it has the second biggest economy in the world.

Furthermore, get off the Cold War paradigm of "communism vs. capitalism". It no longer applies. Since 1991, unfettered capitalism in the U.S., China, Russia, Ukraine, and the European Union has led to the domination of the planet by oligarchs, billionaires, with common people unrepresented and left out. These are the same conditions that led Marx to attack capitalism in the 1840s. This is not a defense of socialism, by no means, but we need to stop advocating raw capitalism, cause unfettered rule by Zuckerberg, Bezos, Gates, Google, Big Tech, etc. etc. etc., unfettered, unchecked, unregulated, irresponsible, non-transparent is why the WEF thinks it can run the planet and be accountable to no one but itself. That is the global issue today across the planet. They feel they can start wars, enslave people, make us eat bugs, and be responsible to no one but themselves.

Capitalism is fantastic. It has showered riches on countries that have it. The USA's government budget per capita is too high.[10] Steve Bannon is right that the administrative state needs to be trimmed back in the USA.

Maybe it is just a coincidence, but John Mearsheimer is also out of the University of Chicago.

It's the oligarchs who control the planet (just as the European aristocracy did in Marx' day). Donald Trump is a billionaire who refuses to join the billionaire club - which is why they hate him and conspire against him. Jack Ma is a Chinese oligarch who had a falling out with the CCP billionaire club, fled to the West and set up Steve Bannon on his TV network to tell his side of the story. Igor Kolomoisky is a Ukrainian oligarch with connections in the West who purchased Zelensky to sell to the Ukrainian public, so that Western oligarchs can buy up Ukrainian state-run enterprises and agricultural land. Zelensky himself is moving up from stooge and puppet to join the global oligarch club - if he survives plots against him and can flee with his looted billions like the Shah of Iran or Ferdinand Marcos.
In Russia, it's the other way around. Putin controls the billionaires. The billionaires do not control Putin. China is the same (witness Jack Ma). Only Russia is a bit more democratic than China.

The reality in the developed world is that if you don't suffer from a mental/physical handicap that is very debilitating, you can be successful. It is self-control that is the big determinant of financial success and success in many other areas of life too. Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are not stopping anyone from being financially successful in the USA. If someone is fat, broke and ignorant, much of the blame falls on their shoulders. The public libraries are open. In life, people are often their worst enemies. Conservative (talk) 18:47, August 19, 2022 (EDT)
Do not confuse capitalism with consumerism. Consumerism has taken over all the former Soviet Republics and China. There is no Third World anymore, as virtually all nations have been taken over by consumerism (and surveillance technology in the form of cell phones).
The World Economic Forum of global capitalist oligarchs now has declared war on consumerism with its green energy agenda, Build Back Better program, and sanctions policies. Again, do not confuse capitalism with consumerism. It was Boris Yeltsin's visit to an American supermarket in 1989 that he decided to convert Russia over to capitalist-driven consumerism. You can almost see the decision being made on his face in videos during the visit. Both China and Russia have aped American consumer culture, only they both also have retained their manufacturing base. In that sense, they are both 'more capitalist' than the U.S. is right now.

I don't need Donald Trump or any American politician to be successful in life. With that being said, I realize that if someone like Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin were elected president of the United States it could make a profound difference in my life. With that being said, during my life, I haven't noticed much of a change in my life if a Democrat or Republican were elected president.
Now would I prefer that Donald Trump or a Republican were elected rather than a Democrat in 2024? Of course. But it's not going to make or break me.
At the same time, if there was a Great Depression 2.0, which I think may happen within 10-15 years or sooner due to a series of sub-par U.S. presidents, that might make a difference in my life. But maybe not. As wise King Solomon wrote: "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest." (Proverbs 6:6-8). King Solomon also wrote: "Do you see those who are skillful in their work? They will serve kings; they will not serve common people." (Proverbs 22:29).
One of my favorite movies is the movie Miracle about the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team's victory of the Soviet Union's team. He is an actual quote of the iconic hockey coach Herb Brooks that he actually said in real life that was used in the movie: "You can't be common; the common man goes nowhere; you have to be uncommon." - Herb Brooks. If you haven't led an uncommon life, in most cases, it is your fault. It was not the fault of who was elected president of the United States.
Another one of my favorite movies is the movie Coming Out of the Ice based on the life of Victor Herman who was an American man whose family emigrated to Russia when he was 16. He spent 18 years as a Soviet prisoner in the Gulags of Siberia and later returned America. Despite his hardships, he married in Russia and he had two daughters.
Both movies show the value of grit. Here is one of my favorite essay pages that I created at Conservapedia: Grit, the key to outstanding achievements. If John Wayne were alive today, he might say in one of his new movies, "Pilgrim, either you have true grit or you don't".
In the past, I had some correspondence with a New Zealand atheist who majored in political science in college. During the correspondence, he exhibited "Trump derangement syndrome". And he seemingly couldn't understand why I wasn't particularly interested in the topic of Donald Trump. Politics has some importance in life, but it is not the be-all and end-all.

Your concluding statement is exactly right. The people of Ukraine, China, Russia, and elsewhere are so accustomed to not being involved in politics, not looking to political activity to make a change in their circumstances - is how a group like Ukrainian Nazis (who never polled more than 2%) are able to fly beneath the radar and seize important positions in the Ukrainian military and Ukrainian security services, not to mention such a degree of respectability in Western media. Unfortunately, the same aloofness and estrangement from politics has occurred in America, where its viewed more as popularity contest between personalities among an electorate that can't discern the forest from the trees in discussing any issue.

LBJ and the presidents after him have wanted big government (Including Trump who did massive military spending). But the war on poverty failed. And LBJ and some of the presidents after him have had "guns and butter" economies which make no economic sense. See: Guns and butter - Investopedia and The Guns and Butter Era Redux.

The current choice between "Democrat guns and butter president" vs. "Republican guns and butter president" doesn't make me excited. Neither the Democrats or Republicans want to cut the federal deficit which is now astronomical in size. And there is no free lunch in economics. Long-term deficits of a sufficient size and not invested wisely (such as in useful infrastructure) can be very detrimental to a nation's economic growth and stability. Greece found that out.[11] Conservative (talk) 01:19, August 20, 2022 (EDT)

The day of reckoning is here with the transition from status quo globalism and unipolarity to multipolarism, with the sanctions, de-dollarization, the dollar dumped as a reserve asset, the shrinking SWIFT network, the Green New Deal, and global recession. It's not like the 2008 crash, at all - cuz we can't inflate our way out of it again (de-dollarization and loss of reserve asset status means many foreign banks will not accept dollars anymore to settle our trade imbalances.

We've turned the corner. There is no turning back. Not unless (a) all sanctions against Russia are lifted; (b) the United States accepts Russia's territorial demands in Ukraine; (c) the United States accepts the Ukrainian vassal regime's neutrality; (d) NATO expansion is halted, and even reversed; (e) China may even pile on and make similar demands about Taiwan; (f) Iran may pile on and make similar demands to remove sanctions.
The United States, and its EU vassals, really overplayed its hand this time. Even if all the above demands were met by the U.S., the dollar will not return to being the king currency. Nor the U.S. to unipolarity. Our choices are simple: accept equality with the rest of the world (formerly second and third world countries) or perish in nuclear flames.

The United States has played this stupid, idiotic game long enough, and the whole planet sees it. We spend $54 billion dollars in Ukraine and leave $83 billion in Afghanistan.

The party in power just authorized the Federal Reserve Board to print up an additional $379 billion to get itself re-elected with the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act." Those people who vote for that party think they are getting something for nothing. Of course, they really get nothing, or worse even less than nothing. The bureaucrats who run the program get $60-80,000 a year to think they are actually doing something for the betterment of humankind. The rest of the planet looks at this system as says, "WTF?" while a few of our "friends and allies" try to model themselves after it and follow along the road to perdition.
So just add up those three programs in the past year, the Afghan debacle, the Ukraine slaughter, and inflation reduction. That's $500 billion, or half a trillion dollars. Do we have a half trillion dollars to kill people and impoverish the survivors in the U.S.? Why? Should it continue? Why will it continue? RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 04:24, August 20, 2022 (EDT)
Moscow and Shanghai do not have excellent prospects for the future in terms of being important global financial centers. Both societies have greying populations with countries that people around the world are not clamoring to move to. And China has two debt crises going on simultaneously. And Russia may be burdened with being an occupier in a country with a determined insurgency. Granted the terrain in Afghanistan is not hospitable to occupiers, but over time Ukraine could be Russia's next Afghanistan.
And right now, America is growing less dependent on China as far as its supply chains. Thanks to China's zero Covid policies, corporations are looking for places outside of China for their production needs.[14] Also, A flash survey conducted by the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in China over April 29-May 5 found that the American business community’s “confidence in doing business in China continues to decrease.”[15] Also, “China usually ranks among the top three destinations for investment among AmCham’s member companies, but ‘it is falling in preference,’ Bloomberg News quoted Hart as saying. He added that if people can’t travel to the country, it will “decline as an investment destination.”[16]

You obviously have never read any of Sundance's writings on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the unholy alliance between Mitch McConnell and CoC, how the CoC is the chief pro-globalist lobbying group in the U.S., how the Uniparty is supported by the Chamber, how the Chamber has betrayed Main Street for Wall Street, how Wall Street has betrayed Main Street for globalism, etc. etc. etc. According to Sundance, the Chamber owns McConnell. According to Sundance, McConnell finds it easier to keep 9 Senators and other Chamber/globalist cronies in line to make or break a filibuster rather than to operate in the Majority. It's why McConnell is doing nothing to help Dr. Oz.

Back to the main subject: Inflation and crime go hand-in-hand. Fox News yesterday was consumed with a flash mob in 7-11 and a guy with a fractured skull. In an inflationary environment, people feel cheated. Hence thieves justify theft, since they feel everyone is doing it, and they are being cheated by everyone.

You can't have it both ways...

You can't condemn Donbas "separatists" while praising Taiwan separatists (and using Nancy Pelosi to praise them).

Furthermore, it is a complete lie, and has been a complete lie for 8 years now, that the citizens of Donbas are "separatists". They are not. Under the Minsk Agreements granting Donbas autonomy negotiated in 2014 - which Kyiv refused to implement - the people of Donbas agreed to remain part of Ukraine. Calling them "separatists" has been part of an ongoing CIA psyop for eight years now of lies and disinformation to spark war. RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 13:10, August 20, 2022 (EDT)

What is autonomy? Autonomy is like the recent Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, granting to each state the right to implement its own laws regardng abortion. Are Mississippians and Indianans "separatists" who need to be crushed by artillery and the National Guard? RobSIch bin ein breakfast taco 13:25, August 20, 2022 (EDT)

I really don't know the particulars of what percentage of people are Donbas are separatists or non-separatists. The whole conflict is kind of a semi-frozen conflict between two loser countries where Russia is winning but at a high cost. Russia was a better country before the Russian Revolution and it does retain some positive characteristics, but overall it isn't a healthy culture and it is headed towards greater weakness due to its fertility rate. You can't have as strong of an army in the future with a below-replacement level of births. In addition, it will be hard for young Russians to support a greying population.
Taiwan is a successful country with freedom. More data that supports China is an economic basketcase is coming in. See: China’s Economic Collapse Just Got Worse. And here is more data supporting that China cannot afford to attack Taiwan: China's economy will face 'devastating' consequences if it invades Taiwan, expert warns (Heritage Foundation).
On top of this China is not nearly as free as Taiwan.
And right now, the leader of Taiwan is not calling for separation. Why would they? It is better to wait for China to financially collapse.
And if I think if it's funny that China's leader is a fat, loudmouth of a weak country who got humiliated by a woman so be it. It is funny. China can't attack Taiwan because it is too economically weak and yet they are loudmouth bullies who are paper tigers. One of the hallmarks of humor is incongruenty.[17] And a weak country pretending to be strong is incongruent. Conservative (talk) 15:48, August 20, 2022 (EDT)
But the other side of the equation, is China is hassling Taiwan due to Pelosi's visit. The hassling Taiwan now in various ways that is costing Taiwan money. So it was better for Taiwan if Pelosi did not visit. But as I said above, the good side is that Xi Jingping goes into the next Chinese Communist Party conference appearing weaker because Pelosi caused him to lose face. Events can have both positive and negative effects. Conservative (talk) 16:05, August 20, 2022 (EDT)
The official position of the United States on the State Department website acknowledges that Taiwan is sovereign territory of the Peoples Republic of China. Supplying arms to Taiwan makes Taiwan a separatist regime.
The Minsk Accords were negotiated after the Donbas Republics applied for admission to the Russian Federation, were refused, declared independence (which would make them "separatists"), and agreed to return to Ukraine in the Minks Accords. The Minsk Accords were negotiated by Ukraine, the Donbas Republics, France, and Germany (Russia had no part in the Minsk Accords). The Minsk Accords were endorsed by the United Nations. The United States State Department and CIA told the Poroshenko & Zelensky administrations not to implement the Accords after the Kyiv regime agreed to them. The Kyiv regime under both Poroshenko and Zelensky escalated the situation, using the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Ukrainian Ministry of Interior neo-Nazi forces like the Azov Battalion (among other nazi paramilitary groups like the Aidar Battalion and the Kraken group) and "heavy weapons", i.e. artillery and tanks, to attack and kill civilians living the Donbas Republics.
It is the United States that (a) overthrew the legitimate democratically elected government of Ukraine; (b) installed Nazi leaders in the Ukrainian Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Defense; (c) trained Ukrainian Nazi paramilitary forces since 2014; (d) interfered with and thwarted a peace settlement, endorsed by the UN of which Russia was no part, between the Kyiv regime and the people of Donbas who wanted to return to Ukraine; (e) besides training, have supplied both the AFU and Ministry of Interior Nazi forces weapons, knowingly, to kill civilians. These actions continue to this day.
Seriously, you need to quit the globalist talking points to defend Pelosi and Taiwan.

Back to the point: the U.S. argues, "nobody other than Russia has granted the Donbas Republics diplomatic recognition" while at the same time the U.S. has not granted Taiwan diplomatic recognition.
