    Or his military commanders have informed him they won’t be taking part in any “special operations” and if he wants to remain in power he won’t give that order.

    Look, if the nukes fly, I hope they all just fly, and the one intended for Maine disintegrates us like an animal cracker in milk.
    I don't want this shit of they nuke the midwest croplands, and we slowly starve to death.
    Make it quick, I want to blip out like a video game.

    The nukes all fly, but it turns out the Russian ones aren't very good and are past their shelf lives so they do little damage here, but ours all turn Eurasia into a huge, poisonous radioactive cloud that slowly circles the Earth while we wait for it to come to us (a la On the Beach).

    Cheery thought. :)

    Maybe when they are done with that we could get a few of them to ride around DC and shoot the traitor convoy and Ted Cruz?

    They were talking about her yesterday. Maybe they hadn't gotten the whole story. The first day they mentioned their reporter wounded, the next day the dead cameraman, then yesterday they must have gotten the whole story and mentioned the young lady who was killed with them.

    So far, yes. The list against Canada was far more extensive, and included most of the House of Commons, from all parties.

    The list against the US has only been Biden administration officials, Hunter Biden, and Hillary Clinton.

    Also, I can tell you that no one in Canada is crying over the Russian sanctions.

    Our country is becoming more partisan, but we're still not at U.S. levels of stupidity. There's pretty much solidarity here amongst all political parties that Russia needs to be isolated and punished for its actions.

    It's also possible that the Russkies haven't yet co-opted one of our major political parties like they have with the GOP.

    Maybe. Though considering it was all over everywhere else, you'd think they'd know about their own crew.

    Or maybe they were waiting to see how it should be spun.

    Remember, this is the network whose Russian military expert, Col Ralph Peters, retired in disgust after saying he was censored by the news agency about Russia, and couldn't abide by its attacks on the military and intelligence communities, both of whom he was a former member of.

    He also stated that Putin was 'evil', Russia was our geopolitical enemy, and that Trump was terrified of Putin.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/20/business/media/fox-news-analyst-ralph-peters.html

    He was replaced by Col Douglas McGregor, who is unabashedly pro-Russia, and is continuing Russian propaganda that Ukraine is not a liberal democracy and is indeed controlled by neo-Nazis.

    McGregor formerly worked as an advisor to the Secretary of Defense in the Trump administration.

    And had been nominated by Trump as the Ambassador to Germany. In a rare move, the Senate blocked the confirmation.

    Oh look, Trump was trying to get yet another pro-Putin propagandist into high office, into our most important NATO ally, Germany. And now that same propagandist works at Fox News, telling Putin's lies.

    No one can tell Canadian tories and whigs apart or even name any, so who can blame Russia?

    Here's a piece from wapo (free article) on Hillary's very deserved sanction.

    I don’t think he is saying amphibious assaults never work out. Just that this would be a poor case for one. No element of surprise, no supplies, no second echelon, etc. etc.

    FOX has dredged the Hunter Biden laptop repair guy back out of the mud at the bottom. Seems he needs the cash.

    This is like the angry drunk who sits in the corner exiting the local bar. It's a "community", but was he ever really a part?

    "Gender freedoms"

    There you have it, folks. A direct appeal to the American Right. To the Tucker Carlsons (who was ragging on the first trans Admiral earlier on). To the UAs.

    They might query WHY such a hateful being wants their attention. But they won't.
