    Gee, who was it that said it wasn't the Russians that bombed the Nordstream Pipeline?
    More at the link.

    Remember how Turdforge insisted it was Russia despite zero evidence? I remember. It seems like this guy is the new Fall Guy and I'm not talking about the Ryan Gosling movie.

    It looks like you thought the US did it. Must be another thread on nordstream.

    I think Navy Seals were involved, there's no way the Ukranian A-Team pulled this off by themselves.

    They'd be the only boars Obelix would spare, out of sheer respect.
    Hell, he'd probably have Asterix hook them up with Getafix's elixer!

    So one of my favorite liberals, not leftist, there's a difference, is back. Jeffery Sachs says don't believe the US. when it comes to the Nordstream pipeline because he testified on the UN security counsel and tried to get them to do an independent investigation and guess who blocked it, we did. Now I know nobody cares and Joe Biden is a nice old grandpa who like Washington, would never tell a lie and the CIA is doing the lord's work, but here's the interview.

    Here's the Seymour Hersh article that Sachs refers to in the video.

    Do you think the fact that there is a U.S. Senator of Thai ancestry who lost both of her legs to a combat injury factored into that barrage of shittiness in some way, or did she just reach into the grab bag of right-wing boogeymen and start spewing words at random?

    There are indications that the west are about to throw Ukraine under the bus. That is, the position will shift from one requiring the defeat of Russia and the recapture of all territory including Crimea to one of pressuring Ukraine to do a peace deal where Russia retains its captured territory. Groundwork is certainly being laid in terms of how the media are presenting things and in the language that is being used by officials.

    This obviously reflects the failure of the Ukrainian counter-offensive and their shortage of manpower. They're out of options.

    It will be interesting to see the screeching 180 degree turns being performed as people accomodate themselves to this.

    I really wish I could be a fly on the wall as Beijing rants about how fucking pissed they are at Russia for poking the hornets nest in launching a war they haven’t even managed to win.

    Luftwaffe in 2024 intends to deploy eight Eurofighter & twelve (!) Tornado, supported by four A400M and four A330MRTT (from the European airlift pool) to various exercises in Indopacific region from Alaska to Australia. France & Spain to also send forces.

    This is so dumb. It’s obvious that Ukraine is going to lose this war and all attention will shift to Israel. You see reports of this all over the internet. Stop watching MSM, they do nothing but tell lies and spread propaganda.

    The wife of Ukraine’s top military intelligence official has been hospitalized with apparent heavy metals poisoning, according to Ukrainian and western officials.

    Marianna Budanova is the wife of Kyrylo Budanov, whose military intelligence agency GUR has been deeply involved in Ukraine’s efforts to oust Russia from its territory, and western officials have been immediately suspicious that Russian agents may have paid off a staff member to carry out the poisoning.

    Test results show that Ukrainian Defense Intelligence staff have also been sickened, according to Andriy Yusov, a spokesman for the agency, and Ukraine is investigating the situation.

    American and western intelligence officials have not independently verified the poisoning but believe Ukrainian reports to be accurate, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.

    The seriousness of Budanova’s condition was not immediately apparent. According to the GUR representative, she has been hospitalized for a week and had felt poorly for some time prior to being hospitalized. A source with Defense Intelligence told CNN, on the condition of anonymity because the information has not been made public, Budanova tested positive for arsenic and mercury. CNN has reached out to Budanova for comment.

    Putin's just begging to get himself assassinated at this point.

    Do you know how many Ukraine stories pop up that aren't posted here? It's been clear to me for a while that most people here only follow the western narrative about this situation where Ukraine is the victor and Putin ends up assassinated or something. It's also been clear to those of us who don't get our news from the MSM that this dream scenario isn't going to happen. So for me, seeing the hubris bubble being popped makes me laugh because we knew this would happen long ago.

    Setting aside how fucked up it is that you take glee in a free country suffering genocide for no other reason that it is supported by your domestic political ‘enemies’ (or is it that your boy Trump hates them?).

    What do you mean ‘we’? You got a mouse in your pocket?
