Russian-Ukrainian War of 2022

 

Like everyone else on the planet, I have been watching the Russian invasion of Ukraine.  Funny how COVID suddenly vanished.  Nonetheless, the war in Eastern Europe has grabbed center stage.

Russia's invasion has not exactly gone to plan, though they still have the upper hand.  It seems Moscow had decided to surround and pound Kiev (or Kyiv I have been seeing lately) into submission.  There are talks between the two nations and I hear talk of "positiveness".  Well, the shooting has not stopped.

Maybe it will.

I cannot see this ending without some sort of guarantee of Ukrainian neutrality.  NATO is not going to let Ukraine in anyway (too corrupt, too unstable), so take the neutral approach.  I am sure the Crimea and the eastern separatists will remain a problem, but neutrality stops the war.

Over here, the Republican party is stuck in 1985.  

A no-fly zone puts us in direct conflict with a nuclear armed superpower.  As much as a house plant Biden is, at least he has said "NO" to that lunatic idea.

Remember one thing about Congress.  Everytime they have authorized military action, you never see them going into the warzone.

Remember that. 

No to war.

Let the bloodthirsty 80 year olds in Congress strap on some armor and mount up.

At least it would be entertaining.

Russia vs Ukraine

 

Four days ago, Russia invaded Ukraine.  I was surprised because I thought the occupation of Luhansk and Donetsk would be the worst case scenario. Well, Russia invaded.

How this ends is anyone's guess though I think Russia wins a hard tough slugging match at the end and Ukraine becomes neutral.  After that, we have Cold War 2.0 and NATO has a reason to exist, the real goal of this whole thing ...until China grabs Taiwan a week after this war ends. 

A written promise to keep Ukraine neutral in exchange for a written Russian pledge not to invade Ukraine could have kept this from happening.

Given the quality of world leadership in 2022, this failure comes as no surprise.

Notice how COVID suddenly vanished from the news...

NATO's eastward expansion led to this.  I don't excuse (or understand) the Russian attack, but serious substantive negotiations could have prevented the biggest war in Europe since 1945. Remember how Ukraine's democratic government, ready to stand for re-election in May 2014, was overthrown in March 2014.  Remember who back that.  That was why Russia grabbed Crimea.

Putin is described as a thug heading a oligarchic kleptocracy.  Ukraine is basically the same thing, and, to be brutally honest, the people in the West need to look at their own leaders.  At the end of the day, this is not a battle of good vs evil as the media is trying to portray this as.  It is a battle between nations pursuing their interests.  Failure and a lack  of common sense has led us here.

Don't expect the United Nations to do anything.

Russia and Ukraine are going to have to settle this. 

Hopefully it ends soon.

Get rid of this idiot...

 

Time to get rid of this idiot....Justin Trudeau, just in case you could tell with the blackface.

Invoking emergency laws and calling a Jewish Member of Parliament a "supporter of the swastika"?!

Time for a no confidence vote.  If the Liberal Party finds the intestinal fortitude to to the right thing.

Meanwhile COVID restrictions continue to fall across North America and only the US and Canadian federal governments are trying to resist the tide of change.  They will give in soon enough.  Notice how they try to use "Russian aggression" as a distraction?  More on that tomorrow.

Keep the protests peaceful and keep it up!

Going to be interesting when the US truckers reach DC...

OK, three straight Canadian posts....tacking Russia-Ukraine tomorrow!

Saskatchewan leads the way!!!

 

Saskatchewan premier Samuel Moe announced that all COVID restrictions, including the horrid vaccine passport, will be dropped by February 28.  I prefer they drop it all right now, but we take what we can get.  Ottawa is shut down, the US-Canadian border between Alberta and Montana is also shut down, and there are other convoys forming up in the US and Netherlands.

Freedom is on the march!

Stay vigilant though.  These politicians could not tell the truth if it walked up and bit them in the backside!

Canada wakes up!

 

After two years of unwarranted oppression, Canadians are standing up to their oppressive government.  You CANNOT force people to take experimental vaccines and force them to choose between work or taking this thing that appears to have adverse effects.  And bring out vaccine passports to participate in daily life.....and to travel?!

It is as if the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms never existed!

Meanwhile, memories of the Nazi T-4 program and the Tuskegee Experiments are brushed under the rug by the nations who were responsible.

Canadians meekly accepted draconian restrictions that were never voted on, but it seems they have finally had enough!

Hundreds of Canadian truckers are descending on Ottawa, ignoring the travel restrictions, to protest vaccine mandates that are illegal under Canadian and international law.  The protesters have all ready scored one victory as Dictator, formerly Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau claims to have been exposed to Covid and had to self-isolate....just as the protestors are arriving.

On January 29, all stores in Canada will open up and decide to end Covid restrictions on their own.  The Canadian government is not all powerful and needs to be reminded that it serves the people, not the other way around.

The dirty secret of security is that no security system can handle huge numbers of protesters.  Some Canadian cops are sympathetic and won't do anything, but we have seen too many give into their inner fascist.  Time to end this....yesterday!

Then move on to the dystopian nightmare of Australia and various Western European countries that have lapsed into authoritarianism. Meanwhile, Germany and Austria seem to be embracing their Nazi past with mandatory vaccinations.

Britain, Ireland, and Denmark have dropped all restrictions.

Never in history have people demanding forced injections and demanding to "see papers" been the good guys and they will always lose.

Time for them to follow their idol Adolph into the bunker and head straight to the ash heap of history.

 

Happy Martin Luther King Day!

 

It was never a law

 

Biden's mandate was never a law.  It could not be enforced since the the executive does not make law...Congress does.  Basic civics 101...something that a lot of elected buffoons seem to forget.  Listening to these idiots is what gives them the power they think they have.

 OSHA, with its 200 inspectors, said it could not enforce it anyway, so clearly the idiots in the White House thought people would just go along with it as long as some idiot with a tie and a clipboard showed up and said they had to do it.

I once threw the health inspector out, so no dice, Joe.  

Unfortunately SCOTUS said that nurse still had to labor under this idiocy but many idiot states like New York are suddenly waving nurse back in that test positive...The moron governor of New York should have thought about that before firing them.

Your...yes, YOUR government is not a god.  They WORK for YOU! You have to yank the chain occasionally to remind them.

Don't listen and don't comply.  

Think about that as Martin Luther King Day dawns tomorrow. 

Live your life, be happy, and let the wannabe dictators join their idol Adolph in the basement c.April 1945.

Have a great day!
