Putin's Russia has descended into farce. When will this joke of a regime end? The crazed Putina chatting in the Kremlin with the Ukrainian traitors was the moment he jumped the shark. The red square pep rally was just embarrassing.

A ridiculous Russia~dying a humiliating and ridiculous death ~is a fitting end for such a despicable collection of creatures.

I want to laugh, but all I can do is shake my head.
What is honorable, great, or virtuous about the USA? If the focus is on "jokes"

Do tell. It has a half-dead "president" whose son went to the war zone in question to whore his way into millions.

Why do you people never tell it how it is?
Cool Breeze,

When we talk on this forum about support for the U.S., we are not talking about support for the current administration, or the deep state. We are talking about support for the still-majority of Americans who more-or-less adhere to the founding principles which made this country great - God, family, country (to borrow loosely from Meloni), that sort of thing. Those people (us) have been too busy working, raising families, doing silly things like that, rather than spending a lot of time engaging politically, and that is to our discredit. But we are hoping that before things get IRREVERSIBLY BAD, the majority will wake up, look around, and act. The brilliance of the U.S. constitution, as John has pointed out many times, makes this still possible. We support the U.S. which was, and can still be. Certainly, no place else has better prospects.

I can agree with the above if taken literally, but the question is what is irreversibly bad? Racism? Criminals in chief? Not accepting election results if the election goes against you? Violence? Theft of government documents? Using the government to enforce religious beliefs? Thinking campaign finance contributions from elites is more important than serving the people? Sending jobs abroad? Containment?

The difference is taking freedom and equality seriously, the founding father’s ideals. Granted the old founding advice was not to get entangled in foreign wars rather than containment. First the Monroe Doctrine then NATO flipped that on its head. At first the US was blatantly racist, but things are changing. It is not always about going back to what we were. We've had several crises, and each one has changed us.

Mind you, John is more into international conflict than domestic politics. The site isn’t generally about abusing minorities, encouraging criminal tendencies and imposing religious beliefs. But there are still some attempts to justify what cannot be justified. The mid terms may or may not wake people up. Repealing Roe went a long way in that direction.

Evidence of voting interference from a foreign power? Do we have a "non accepting" election problem or is it a true case of voting interference?

tactical nuclear weapon and not end
up with Armageddon.”
I agree with Biden. If Putin is
desperate enough to use a tactical
nuclear weapon in Ukraine, the it will
lead to WW III.

Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine in
February, it was clear that the invasion
would lead to WW III within a year or
two. The only question was the
scenario, the sequence of events.

For Russia's invasion NOT to lead to WW
III, Russia would have to have succeeded
with its original objective -- something
like total victory within a few days.
That's what happened with Russia's 2014
invasion of Ukraine.

Instead, there's been one escalation
after another since February. These are
the regeneracy events. There was
Zelenskyy's fighting back, rather then
surrendering and fleeing the country, as
had happened in Afghanistan. Russia has
been pouring massive numbers of weapons
and soldiers into Ukraine on the Russian
side, and Nato has been pouring weapons
into the Ukraine side.

In recent weeks, Putin has made
increasingly desperate threats,
including use of nuclear weapons. He
ordered phony sham referenda in four
Ukraine provinces, and annexec them into
the Russian Federation.

Today's massive explosion on the Kerch
Strait bridge, something I wrote
numerous articles about during its
construction, is one more major
strategic, symbolic, and humiliating
defeat for Putin and Russia. Putin is
certain to retaliate.

Or this could be an opportunity for an army general to overthrow Putin and become an international darling. At least for a short while...

Top Florida Doctor Warns Young Men COVID Vaccines Pose 'High Risk' of Death

Florida's Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo warned on Friday against young men receiving COVID-19 vaccines, citing an analysis by the state health department that said they pose "high risk" of death.

"Today, we released an analysis on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines the public needs to be aware of. This analysis showed an increased risk of cardiac-related death among men 18-39. FL will not be silent on the truth," Ladapo tweeted.

The state's health department released a statement on Friday stating that it carried out an analysis using a self-controlled case series technique to evaluate vaccine safety.

The state's health department released a statement on Friday stating that it carried out an analysis using a self-controlled case series technique to evaluate vaccine safety.
Daniel Salmon, director of the Institute for Vaccine Safety, told Newsweek on Saturday that the paper, which has not been peer reviewed, lacks enough details to truly assess what has been done in this study and the validity of its findings.


"mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have been shown to cause myocarditis with the highest risk among younger males after the 2nd dose. In general, vaccine induced myocarditis seems milder than other types of myocarditis. There have a been a few reports of post-vaccination myocarditis deaths globally, but this seems to be exceedingly rare. Even among the highest risks groups for post-vaccination myocarditis, the benefits of the vaccines still outweigh the risks," Salmon said.
