Crimean War part 2. Western combined arms will likely make mincemeat of the Russian army, similar to 1991, but there are 5600 scary reasons why it won't be a fair fight. Putin will go nuclear, I really don't think it is in the interests of the United States for a nuclear conflaguration to occur for both a million reasons and those 5600 reasons. But this is all down to Putin. he's doing this. We could have gotten away with this, from a negotiating point of view, if the economic pressure was maintained. But now the US wants to drop all tracking of the Russian shadow oil tanker fleet, and remove all reference to sanctions. This is strange; its not in the US's interest for Russia to find more customers for its oil. A lot of US oil is exported; not all US oil can be refined into gasoline in the US, something to do with the grade of oil, hence the US needs Canadian oil. So exports, and maintaining that oil price, are important to the US. Becomes harder if Russia can export more oil, and also makes it less likely that Russia is willing to negotiate.

I assume where his username comes from. I've been asked about my user name, and I provided an explanation. There is usually a logic. Yours is clear. "Yagoda" is quite unusual.

Yagoda, Genrikh Yagoda.

Not correct. France participated in Desert Storm to eject a dictator from Kuwait. France's part was Operation Daquet, where they contributed the equivalent of 2 divisions, placed under the command of the US Army. In addition, French Jaguars and Mirage F1s participated in ground attack operations. France doesn't want to create a 10,000 day war. Its Putin doing that. Putin can end all this by evacuating the occupied lands and returning the ~25,000 children that he has kidnapped. He can end it tomorrow. As for the content of the speech by the French politician; for a start, he is younger that Trump (b 1950), and represents a minor centre-right party, and was formally in the Republican Party. His analysis of how the American President, Xi and Putin see the world is probably correct, though it doesn't mean just because these 3 individuals see the world like that, anyone else has to accept it. He is correct to point out Musk's Ketamine addiction; Musk gave an interview where he says he habitually uses ketamine to treat his ongoing mental illness (depression). https://www.healthline.com/health-news/elon-musk-ketamine-depression-treatment Interestingly, M. Malhuret is a physician, and could probalby support the statements being made about the effects of long term usage of ketamine. The submissive courtiers he refers to is the cabinet; I think that is beynd dispute, in that they were selected based on loyalty. It is a fact that the American President has imposed higher tariffs on erstwhile allies than on actual foes. Malhuret indicates he is not too impressed with the American's negotiating skills, by being a supplicant to Putin, hoping this will impress Xi. I would agree. Taiwan has 4 years, max, left as an independant nation. America, with its present leadership, will not defend Taiwan because it has no minerals or anything else, of value. After 2028, if there is a change in American policy, that might change. So China knows its window of opportunity. American officials are probably now advising the Taiwanese to start negotiating over which re-education camp they will want to go to, because there is no point fighting. Malhuret claims no American President has capitulated. That of course is not true. viz. Vietnam. Its questionable whether the American President's Executive Orders are illegal or not. Some are held up in the courts. Yes, if the drift continues, American democracy is being eroded. And its not even about the current President, but who follows him, or either party. Since the Supreme Court's ruling on immunity, the Presidency has more power, and its probably not healthy. It can go the other way. He cites Weimar, as a warning from the past. Weimar fell because of a very divided society, but also weak institutions, Malhuret had faith in the strength of American democracy, so Americans can take heart from that. Its the American President a traitor, as Malhuret contends? There may be a translation issue, because I think he means betraying American values, the same values that lead to France donating an impressive statue to mark the young US Republic's first 100 years, rather than being a literal agent of communism. That debate is for others. I would say that the American President is unduely influenced by dictators, not because they control him, but because they have values he admires, and he (wrongly) believes they achieved high office for the same reasons as him, and therefore share common values. He doesn't understand the thuggery and corruption that elevated Putin and Xi. He was correct in his analysis that the US immediately halted delivery of munitions to Ukraine immediately after the meeting with Zelensky.

Point 4, but not point 4.

Ok, so explain why your hero is a torturer in chief, if you want. Ha ha. So sad.

Yep. Merely responding to the poster who prefers prostitutes, and the other poster who is interested in another man;s testicles. What's your point? Post count?

Quite. I'm not one with the STDs. Why have you picked a user name named after a notorious communist. You are a Bolshevik Your dad

Because he wouldn't put them in your mouth, I expect.

Deviant. Sorry, but your pox-infested transexuals don't count. You pay them yet you are the receiver.

So why did you bother replying? Post count. A bet? Deviancy? A thrill? I'll keep this up.

This transcript will help you out, though I suspect your response is disengenuous and dishonest. You have more interest in what Putin has to say, just like a previous generation of Americans who put more stall by the words of Herr Hitler than Mr Churchill.

But you just did.

I suppose from the 1.5 million Europe currently has. And 150,000 will be needed in total if an Assurance Force is 50,000

Those who support capital punishment should fully embrace it and not some sanitised version that makes them sleep better at night. Witnesses should be based on public ballot, like jury service. Yeah, witnesses should be forced into a blood splatter horror chamber. The guards can pathetically try and mop the gore. Then there is the Saudi version, where they would then crucify the beheaded body for 3 days, on public display, kind of like the gibbet. Yeah, barbaric. That's the point. A dirty needle might impact the effectiveness of the killing cocktail.

Another from the generation who hate their parents/grandparents, and skipped school.

Then I am discussing with a self confessed and gullible ignoramus with zero appreciation of her parents.

Luckily the British didn't surrender, otherwise you would be speaking German now, and eating sauerkraut for breakfast. The Americans call the French "Cheese Eating Surrender MOnkeys", and the British joked about how many reverse gears an Italian tank has. We have a new meme. Republican Runaways. Pax Americana has been of enormous benefit for your mob, but it seems you welcome the Russians as your new masters. Or, in fact, are you a Sinophile? Pax Americana didn't happen because the US had the biggest economy. The US had the biggest economy because of Pax Americana.

We should all be mad at Vladimir Putin, and express a wish, after due process, that he will be taken to a place of execution and there hanged by his neck until his is dead. I don't mind if that's in Red Square. I also don't mind if he meets the same fate as Beria. Where stand you on Putin; villain or hero? Its beyond doubt he is a war criminal with Nuremburg levels of culpability.

Should the British have admitted defeat after Dunkirk? Surrendering is admitting defeat. You want Ukraine to capitulate unconditionally and come under the Russian yoke.

The device is really about drug testing. The alternative is to continue to test dementia drugs in mice then cross fingers they work/don't kill us in human brains, whch is why the pipeline is failing. You don't need human neuron cells to build a biological computer. So when do they start sending soldiers in uniform their demob suits?

The US are now blocking RAF RC135 Rivet Joint patrols from sharing raw data, leading to a 15% in accuracy of artillery. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/07/russia-launches-huge-strikes-across-ukraine-as-us-halts-intelligence-sharing All the UK can do is supply a highly filtered version of the data. Presumably the American president hasn't slept a wink since Monday as he seeks to resolve the greatest global crisis in his 78 years on this Earth, as he doesn't want any Ukrainian kiddies having to die while the adults argue. Sharing Intelligence data costs the US nothing, except for the data that's leaking at their end to the Russian military. The American president has done this as a way to cause more Ukrainians to die, in uniform, but mostly civilian, to force the Ukrainian government to bend to his will. Its not about sacks of dollars arriving in Kiev. Ukraine does have money if it was only about Ukraine having the ability to place an order with a US ammunition manufacturer. The US has physically blocked delivery of ammunition. They also will block delivery of purchased materiel from the US. They have the power to block delivery of US made ammunition by other countries. Both sides use essentially Soviet tactics, which uses ammunition at a ferocious rate.

Actually, irrespective of the individuals who were elected, it is remarkable that no American president has been elected (or ever will it seems) who served in the Vietnam War. I'm not sure any served in the Korean War either. Looking at post war VPs: Walter Mondale was in the Army during the Korean War, but I don't think he was deployed. Dan Quayle was in the National Guard, and so avoided the draft Al Gore; interestingly, he joined the army in order to help his dad get re-elected (it didn't work). Most of his Harvard classmates found ways to avoid the draft. He went to South Vietnam as a military journalist. He went in as an Enlisted Man, but its thought that Nixon delayed his deployment, in case his dad would use that to win votes. He was only in Vietnam for a few weeks. JD Vance; Served 4 years, 6 months of which was in Iraq as a base photographer. So it seems military service is an exaggerrated vote winner. I'm sure if I went through Primary Candidates for both parties I would find individuals with substantive post-war combat experience, but ultimately it counted for nothing. The obvious example of a losing candidate with substantive experience was John McCain, and it really did him no good, and in fact was used negatively against him by members of his own party. Other losing candidates: Mike Dukakis; in Army after the Korean War Bob Dole; wounded WW2 veteran John Kerry; Vietnam War, 3 Purple heart, 1 silver star, 1 bronze star. The whole Swift Boating nonsense marred all that, as his opponants sought to downplay his military experience, perhaps a portend of the absolute weaponising of the topic.
