Not too be the "well actially" guy but well actually Ukraine was in the Soviet Union, not Russia.Ukraine is in Russia. At least it was when I was a kid...
Ukraine was actually a part of the Republic of Russia (pre-U.S.S.R.) before it's brief independence from 1917-20. Rubashov may be the oldest person on Jazzfanz if he indeed remembers that.Not too be the "well actially" guy but well actually Ukraine was in the Soviet Union, not Russia.
I actually searched this and only sort of kind of skimmed the info and didn't see that.Ukraine was actually a part of the Republic of Russia (pre-U.S.S.R.) before it's brief independence from 1917-20. Rubashov may be the oldest person on Jazzfanz if he indeed remembers that.
We should consult with Germany.Fighting in Russia in January, sounds like a great idea...
The Mongols and Ottomans did ok.We should consult with Germany.

I still think we should aim our sights at Canada. Great natural resources, low population, and only mounties as their main defense. And they won't see it coming.
There is also only one road in Canada, so they will be easy to trap. Of course, we will let them keep Quebec.
The Ottoman is the only furniture that had its own empire, so don't knock it. It can support your legs, be a chair, or even a makeshift coffee table. No wonder it did so well against Russia.Been at very long time since my furniture has done well against the Russian empire. (Sorry the Ottomans).
Removing nuclear weapons, the west can, if they choose, roll over Russia. The combined strength of the US, UK, France and Germany would crush them in weeks Putin is banking on that not happening.
Ever seen the Goldbergs?I wonder if anyone has ever opened a furniture store called The Ottoman Empire and they specialized in selling ottomans?
NoEver seen the Goldbergs?
That's the name of the furniture store owned by one of the main characters.
Fun stuff here.
Little club of wannabe relevants taking the same tack as any Soros-directed activist would.
Look, in the Philippines the Rockefellers installed Pres. Ferdinand Marcos, whom many believed a murderer from the Ilocos province. My informant was a UN official who said he was head of the detail that wentr to the Batanes Island, a small group of islands north of Luzon and south of Taiwan, Philippine territory, where they met and ubnloaded a plane stuffed w2ith US greenback money. He said is was from the US Treasury, supposed to be "destroyed" as oid or spoiled, but given to "the Rockef3ellers" for jpolitical bribes. Who'd ever know.
While I was there, Marcos declared Martial Law. I was off in the highlands of central Luzon being fed by the Huks. I had to get outta Dodge pretty quick.
The Huks were Marxist, alright....... but almost to a man (or woman) they were blueblood aristocrats, sons and daus of the most wealthy families. Corazon CoJuanco was from central Luzon, and her husband, Benigo Aquino was from the same area. The Aquino name came from a Patriot Filipino who fought against the Spanish, and then the US, in the wars of 1898-1904, Ninoy formed a relationship with Ted Kennedy preparing to take on Marcos in electoral challenge in the 1980s.
All around the world, the US has been playing games to gain allies, using whatever locals we could, crooks, murderers, whatnots.
Biden's son Hunter is his front man, bag man, selling off US citizen's interests, selling out the USA. Biden has blood on his hands for leaving Afghanistan the way he did.
I rank Putin right up there with Hillary and Joe. Zelensky is not a long-time nor big player. Not anything like Soros or Putin, Biden or Hillary or Xi.
I think what we are seeing is the take-down of the USA as the BMOC globally, aimed at a multilateral Pax Britannica under the UN cover. We are supposed to keep us the technological edge and actual superior military in this game, but act like we are too damn stupid to use it.
This is where we flush the chumps who won't walk the line on the new order. Putin might be one of those chumps. Xi might be another.
But actually we want Russia to align with us and the West as part of the ring of fire that will contain China.. That is why the Nordstream pipe was approved. Trump would not have done that. We want Zelensky to appease Russia and slide back into obscurity. We don't care about Russia having the Crimea and the Donbas.
Ukraine is naturally in the Russian cultural sphere, on some huge issues like Eastern Orthodoxy and modern materialism beliefs and authoritarian culture, but there have been some really bad things like Stalin starving the Ukraine in the 1930s to keep them from rising up even then. I think I like the Ukraine being their own people and own nation, and non-aligned.
There is no war worth fighting for Ukraine except their own cause for independence.
The world will be better off, by a lot, once affluence is spread more evenly around the world.The right wing hate towards China seems either stupid and/or fake to me. China didn’t create Nike, Apple, and all the thousands of other brands that make crap cheaply in China. American manufacturers decided they could increase profits by moving their stuff overseas. Why are we mad at China because our companies found cheap *** labor? And while I wouldn’t mind bringing some manufacturing back, I also don’t want to pay higher prices for stuff. All those Fox News segments about milk and gas inflation? Imagine if Detroit had to produce iPhones? TVs? Cotton t shirts? How much more expensive would they be if they were made here seeing how our wages are easily 5x that of their Chinese counterparts not to mention health insurance?
It seems ironic to me that the same people bitching about China would also be bitching about paying higher prices for products that could otherwise be made super cheap with the labor used (exploited) in China by American companies.
Want to hurt China economically? Demand that Nike and others make their **** here and agree to pay 5x more for stuff.
It is all starting to make sense:The saga of Forest Gump continues.
babe was everywhere. He has claimed to have direct ties to the British royal family, direct ties to LDS church leadership, studied MJ in college as like a chemistry major or whatnot, now he was in the Philippines and had UN informants. Is up in the mountains with his cows seeing shady aircraft activities and such. The guy actually makes Forest Gump seem like he had a boring life.
