Well, Biden has been getting a slight boost with the Putin rhetoric in several, updated polls. We'll see if this gives him yet another Boost.

Kamala will be even a bigger embarrassment. She may actually think she is capable of making the decisions that Bidens handler's make for him.
At this point, I would probably trust her much more than I trust him. At least she doesn't have the same baggage that he carries.
 
And just like that, the Ruble has almost completely recovered. Sanctions didn't work.
 
we’ll see how this works out , not sure Russia can sustain losses turning this into a summer war where some of their own troops are unmotivated and giving up

Somewhat of a tangent here: Russia really doesn't have a good track record for winning wars. Even going back to the Tsar, they always suffer heavy losses whenever war breaks out. That can't just be a coincidence, can it?

their strength has always been manpower and the governments tolerance to absorb large casualty numbers compared to the Western Governments and people. But they have always been sloppy and unorganized. and just having more bodies is not as important in modern wars today and going forward.

also on morale I think it becomes difficult bc despite Russia’s attempts the World feels more connected today(bc of technology/social media) so I think it becomes harder to have everyone on board and motivated ..especially when some of those young Russian soldiers have extended family living in Ukraine , that is why Russia is starting to contract Wagner Group to send to Ukraine

That brings me to question why we were afraid of the consequences of having a no-fly zone in Syria and now again in Ukraine. Clearly they really aren't much of a threat to even smaller countries, let alone the US, which is obviously superior in every way when it comes to military tech.

Why are you so dumb?

So basically they can do whatever they want.
Yep. It’s ridiculous isn’t it? Shooting down Russian planes is an act of war. All for a non-NATO country. Who knows how Putin will respond.

Most experts feel that their nukes are in good enough shape to have a pretty good success rate against the United States. Why take that risk?
 



When even WAPO acknowledges the fact that Ukraine may be using PLO tactics, isn't it pretty obvious?

Then they can just roll over all of Europe as well if they want. I guess we are all just being held hostage.
 
Article 5, right? That’s crossing the line
In the 7 decades of NATOS existence, they've never had to made a defensive move so I have no idea what would actually happen. Against a nuclear nation with a crazy leader I dont think it would be a cut and dried decision.

If Russia blatantly attacks a NATO nation Biden already said that he would honor article 5. Considering he’s pretty volatile himself, I would tend to believe him.

How much escalation that would be depends on how badly Russia ****s up

Doesn't that make you think twice about what Russia's intentions are, and why the EU is funneling money and weapons into Ukraine? Is the risk of nuclear war really that great? Which again comes back to the question of why Russia really did this. It sure as heck wasn't just because they wanted another warm water port.
 

Disclose.tv: Conspiracy Forum Turned Disinformation Factory

Written by W. F. Thomas | Jan 12, 2022 3:30:00 PM
With additional reporting by Ernie Piper
Disclose.tv, a disinformation outlet based in Germany, is bringing fake news to a timeline near you. Although it now presents itself on social media as a reliable news source, Disclose.tv originated as a forum fixated on conspiracy narratives and UFOs. Its continued uncritical coverage of these topics reveals its links to fringe pseudoscience and conspiracy theories.
Currently, Disclose.tv operates its main website, as well as accounts on Twitter (801K followers), Telegram (394K followers), YouTube (12K followers), Facebook (3 million followers), Gettr (583K followers), and Gab (180K followers). On these platforms, Disclose.tv functions as a news aggregator, largely sharing information from other news sources, often without attribution or without links to other news sites. Its most popular posts tend to be videos or photos taken from other accounts. Its Twitter account currently has eight Tweets with over 20,000 likes, half of which lack attribution to any news source.
Disclose.tv tweet reads: JUST IN - UAE bans unvaccinated citizens from leaving the country starting from 10 January - state media.

Disclose.tv consistently pushes anti-vaccine and anti-lockdown narratives. Many of their social media posts focus on negative aspects of government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and negative effects from the vaccine, usually presented in a misleading manner. Its own reporting misrepresents developments related to COVID-19, such as an article from October 2021 titled “German court declares Corona curfew unconstitutional,” which referred specifically to a curfew in the German state of Bavaria in March 2020 that the State Court retroactively ruled unconstitutional.

Examples of the types of narratives common on Disclose.tv’s social media.

Conspiratorial origins​

The earliest archived version of Disclose.tv dates back to March 22, 2007 – but Disclose.tv today is a far cry from its initial form. In its initial form, Disclose. tv focused primarily on UFOs, aliens, ghosts, cryptozoology, and other baseless conspiracy theories. The site’s early tagline — “Disclose.tv - UFOs, ghosts, paranormal, conspiracy & other top secret videos.” — highlights this focus, as does its name. The name “Disclose” references the concept within UFO enthusiast circles of “disclosure,” the time when the government will confirm the existence of aliens and release information regarding them.

In its original form, Disclose.tv functioned largely as a forum. User contributors wrote all the material shared on the site and forums allowed members to discuss UFOs, conspiracy theories, and paranormal phenomena.

Disclose.tv, November 18, 2015
Forum discussions took a political turn in the 2010s, with topics such as “Will Russiagate backfire on the left?” and “Proof Being A Sjw Is A Mental Disorder” showing the right-wing undercurrent of the community.
In 2019, Disclose.tv stripped away the user-generated articles. An announcement welcomed users to “the all-new Disclose.tv.” In this form, the website primarily hosted forums where users’ posts grew even more conservative. On the Disclose.tv social media accounts, some of these forum posts were presented as news articles. With the COVID-19 pandemic in full swing, Disclose.tv naturally grew into a home for anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine beliefs.

Too bad nobody warned them about being reliant on Russian energy.


It's going to be interesting to see what Russia does with its foreign currency reserves. They liquidated USD months ago, I wonder if they would do the same with Euros. That might make things pretty complicated for Germany.
 



Ugh. The boomerang effect when it goes dry is going to be severe. 200 dollar oil and gas shortages.
 
More than ever a deal needs to be made between parties to drill like crazy for the next few years while agreeing to some green future plans as a compromise (hopefully includes nuclear).

It's a long process to get more homes on solar and more electric cars.
We all have to give up on the whole global warming thing, which is really the only hangup at this point. Focus on what's going to happen in the next 30 years and prioritize based on that time frame. Beyond that, the next generation will figure out how to deal with it and thrive. We HAVE to drill and frack right now.
