Good God, yes. Americans have been weakened by being taught over DECADES that the highest level of societal status is given to who can claim to be the biggest “VICTIM”.
When I was in first grade they told us the story of Captain John Smith, and the whole message of the story was;
“If you don’t WORK, you don’t EAT”.
That single concept has stuck with me all my life, and has done more for me becoming a responsible adult than all of the woke “we’re all little snowflakes” bs they tech kids today. They should start teaching that story again.
Cernovich, all incriminating evidence was almost certainly DESTROYED many years ago. It would be naive to think that when so many important people were involved that they would not have the power to make this all just “go away”.
Do you think the Democrat party and its many allies in government would do almost ANYTHING to protect, for example, Bill Clinton? And many others in both parties in all likelihood.
Let’s face it, sometimes the “bad guys” really do get away with murder, especially when there are so many INCENTIVES to people in power to make things disappear.
@RichardGrenell The part that should SCARE people is how EASILY the “independent” thinking “individuals” of America were turned into sheep just like the people are in North Korea in just a matter of months.
Baaa baaa 🐑🐑🐑
Ukraine is nearly ALREADY “swallowed”. And it seems there’s nothing that the U.S. can do about it, short of going to all-out war.
And Europe, being “Europe”, will sit back, have “meetings” about meetings about meetings, and then send a stern letter to Putin telling him to back off. Good luck with that.
Ukraine is likely lost. It will go down as one of the stupidest, most unnecessary wars in history. And to prevent it, all that was needed was a definitive “Ukraine will not be joining NATO” statement by the U.S. and Europe.
So many lives lost, it makes me very sad. I hope the killing stops soon, one way or another. 😢
@guypbenson Oh jeez. 🤮 I wanted to SEE that movie, now I’m disinclined to see it. I don’t like to go to movies that try to “teach” me something. I go to be entertained, not “taught”.
It could be that there’s NOTHING to it.
It also could be that there IS something to it, and the “powers that be” have decided (likely self-servingly) that it would cause more damage than good to release it.
If I had to pick which of the two is more correct, I’d go with the second one. 🙄
@Cernovich Elon would be better off supporting a “re-jiggering” of the existing political parties than trying to start a new one.
We live in interesting times. Whether Elon has made the right choice remains to be seen. 🙄
An argument can be made that WE caused the Ukraine war, or at least contributed in some fashion to Russia’s unease and decision to go to war:
The U.S. has expanded NATO eastward (toward Russia) for decades.
The U.S. had a BIG role in overthrowing Ukraine’s pro-Russian President, Viktor Yanukovych, in February 2014.
The U.S. teased the idea of Ukraine joining NATO for decades, including during the Biden administration prior to the war starting in February 2022.
Putin publicly warned for YEARS (prior to the war) that NATO expansion eastward was something that INCREASED the likelihood of war, and that Ukraine being admitted into NATO would be the proverbial “last straw”.
Don’t get me wrong please. I am not “pro” Putin or Russia. I am just saying that the war is not as “black and white” as it’s been presented in the media and by our politicians. There ARE “two sides” here.
What would the United States do if China admitted Canada and Mexico into some kind of “mutual protection” organization and started building bases there? That’s a fair question, and we ALL know the answer to it - the U.S. would NOT put up with it, and war would likely result.
For the record, I HATE the Ukraine war and the senseless killing, and hope it ENDS. But at this point it *looks like* Putin has made his mind up to conquer ALL of Ukraine, and there is little we can do about it - short of going to war by Russia.
It is SAD to think that all the millions dead and wounded could have been AVOIDED if the U.S. had just been willing STOP its continual teasing that Ukraine was going to be admitted to NATO. What a stupid, costly act of hubris.
