Exactly, they can defend themselves with the BILLIONS we have supposedly sent them for defense over the last decade.... oh where'd the money go?


Russia invading eastern Ukraine is like Mexico invading East LA... 🤣🤣🤣

Exactly. Great analogy.

Long term not a god damn thing is gonna happen. There will be hand wringing, and then the world asking Russia to buy energy. That was done because Russia did the calculation and figured the short term pain was worth the long term gain.

@rrrr I have a question for you as I feel like you are probably one of, if not the smartest person on here on the topic of engineering.

Is there outsized risk to the Russians now controlling what's left of Chernobyl? My understanding is that all fuel rods were removed from reactors 1-3. With that being the case, I feel like the only risk to the rest of europe would be if the Russians dismantled the containment bubble?

Sure they could fire the RBMK reactors back up with fuel rods but it seems like a losing proposition.

Just for the hell of it,right now Trump & Family and entourage should take up residence in his 5 Star Hotel just down the street from White House in DC.
Why?
There hasn't been anyone in the White House for over a year.
Maybe a hotel down the road from Tyler Perry studios in Atlanta GA. would get more results.
Just sayin...

Or they can prevent the corrupt from using it as some kind of false flag to blame Russia for a nuclear catastrophe when it got blown up.....

Ukraine can meet the food needs of 600 million people.
Ukraine is an important industrialised country:
1st in Europe in ammonia production;
Europe's 2nd’s and the world’s 4th largest natural gas pipeline system;
3rd largest in Europe and 8th largest in the world in terms of installed capacity of nuclear power plants;
3rd place in Europe and 11th in the world in terms of rail network length (21,700 km);

I said from day one, someone needs to take his phone away from him. I think he'd still be president now if that had happened and Russia would not have invaded (and we'd have secure borders, low gas prices, etc.).
He received over 74 million votes in the election, legitimate votes, most ever in our history.

If you read Putin's writings and the transcripts of some of his speeches he is fairly consistent in his words.
He wants to reconstitute the former USSR. Period.
He is no fool, on the contrary he is very adept at covering his own ass, and has no problems whatsoever killing anyone who lifts a finger against him in Russia. He is what he was...which is KGB. AS recently as last summer he was talking about what he has just done, and went as far as to mention Poland. He knows the US is in period of historically weak leadership, and our military is not as focused as it once was on killing people and breaking things, which is what a Military does when you get right down to the brass tacks.
He also knows NATO is at an all time weak place due to Europe not spending the bucks, and it's increasing its dependency on Russian energy.
He said Poland may now be part of the Catholic world, but, " like Ukraine. Poland is traditionally part of the Russian Orthodox Church."
It is my understanding that Russia has moved some troops towards the extreme northern border with Ukraine/Poland. While I sincerely hope those who think he will stop with Ukraine are right I think there are even odds he will continue on until he meets serious military resistance, which means a lot of Russians will die in Poland, because those people hate Russia with a Passion. and they would take great pride in fighting for Poland, and killing Russians. Lots of them.
But ultimately Poland, unless NATO steps in with both feet, would fall, and the Baltic States would be next, based on Putin's own words. Squeezing him economically is a good idea, but it will take a long time to squeeze him hard enough for him to give up one foot of ground he takes in this war he has started, and with China buying his coal, it may never happen. He just inked a deal for 100 million metric tons of Russian Coal to be sold to China. Those two are now linked at the hip.
And China...as I have said openly...China is just waiting. They will time it perfectly. If I was in Taiwan I would be looking to book a flight.

Here in America I think we are gonna see record prices for fuel and goods for the next year. Diesel fuel is gonna go up a bunch, and there is much truth to the statement, "if you got it a truck brought it".


Just another opinion.

I disagree.
The level of weaponry and technology we possess would boggle the mind.
The MSM will never tell you that though.
Mainly because they are purveyors of doom and gloom and will do anything to sap the moral of this country with their propaganda.
Secondly, they are simply on a need to know basis, as it they should be. 👍
There is not enough like buttons!!...I do wonder for how long though

If you are referencing the weapons, we are extremely advanced. Think Quantum Computer wars.
Russia has some very effective platforms and demand respect but, nothing even remotely approaching our capabilities.
Think massive MIC spending for many, many decades and that's just the "on the books" programs.
Think one of the many reasons why Trump created Space Force. BTW, anyone know why the recent Tonga explosion was memory holed so quickly?🤔
Vlad is working with us to destroy the Khazarian Mafia causing all the misery and historically located in the Kazakhstan, Belarus, Southern Russia and Ukraine regions.

Damn. Now it's gonna make it harder for me to buy my Russian bugout vehicle for when I win the redneck retirement fund.
HI, I heard on offshoreonly that you replaced your trim cylinder hoses on your TRS drives. Could you tell me which hoses you used? Brand? Same as Bravo hoses? Any help would be very appreciated.

I think there is an international consortium monitoring Reactor 4 and maintaining the sarcophagus. The political implications of a Russian takeover of the exclusion zone are anyone's guess.

Based on videos I've seen of the other reactors, it would be a monumental task to bring them back online. Expensive too. Then there's the background radiation level from Reactor 4 at those adjoining reactors. I'm not sure, but I think that would prevent technicians from working in other areas because of the risk of long term exposure.

Be prepared for them to pull the plug on all the truth coming out.

Incoming #FalseFlag

Invoking article 5 in the NATO agreement constitutes Cyber Attacks as an act of war. All for one and one for all if any nation is allegedly attacked. Full boots on the ground all to hide the elites corruption. Hell Brandon already stated it.

NATO/OTAN hasn't anything as of yet.
And that thing playing Biden is not Commander in Chief.
If he were actually to sends troops over there, these are the things they would be fighting.
Putin has taken them out though it seems.
ChomoJoe is talking out the skidmark on his chonies again.

CIA testing US weapons on MIG 29’s


We are involved. Any one who thinks Putin is going to win, is on the loser end.

Not sure what China will do, but I’m sure Pakistan and India will do massive damage, if they jump.

Does anyone think it a bit ironic that Ukraine just "authorized" their citizens to posses and carry firearms ;) The US has a "million man" army of private citizens/gun owners already and the Government wants to take them away HMMMM ;)
Maybe, but how many bullets do we have, and how much fuel is in our cars/trucks. How many tracer rounds do you own?
Russia is going to be over thrown when this is over.

Very eery, watching the live feed from downtown Kyiv, seems like a normal Friday morning. Figured this place would of been bombed out, or at least have some Ukrainian tanks some where around the city.

The Russian PR may eventually start releasing dirt on the Bidens corrupt dealings there.
Of course CNN/MSDNC/NBC will be the last to report it ,, if at all,,,, but it could be a opinion changer.

The West is taking Putin's threats as a willingness to use battlefield mini-nuclear weapons. The fucker means it.

Token resistance and UKI troops will soon see it's futile.
I wager the Ruskies will withdraw once they have their guy running the Govt. and bust a few heads in the opposition.

Crudes price has retreated to the pre-invasion but still high Biden caused prices, the markets will adjust and this will be forgotten maybe not soon enough but it will pass.
I'm heading to Western Bagel factory and watch the sun rise while chomping on a onion & cream cheese fresh baked. Turn off the news.


I was no fan of John McCain but he predicted and warned about all this and that may be why Trump disliked him so much.

If that is really the intent....to just put in a Russian friendly leader.....why not just do it under cover. This seems much more than that and a hell of a lot more costly to do it with the military.
