I agree… but then again, I haven’t heard any news of friends or family members being killed in Ukraine.

Isn’t it something though!? Like “yeah so after all the time I’ve posted here thanks for letting me know just how goddamned motherfucking dumb you really think I am, bruh”
(And yes I know you don’t talk like that, but still… )
People who try to build consensus by talking down to others and treating them like they’re so damned dumb they need a lecture based on the worst possible assumptions aren’t good at building consensus, I’ll say it that way I guess. Been a lot of that on here generally in the last few days really.

Huh. Maybe not directly. But Blackwater, the notorious American mercenary company, is owned by Triple Canopy, which itself is a subsidiary of Apollo Global Management. Apollo is a private equity firm, that invests in all sorts of businesses around the world, including a partnership with Abu Dhabi National Oil and around 90% of Yahoo!. I’d be willing to bet that they have their fingers in the rubles. They were, after all, linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
Tear the system down.

Yes. My point is that “arms-length” and “tools” might not be readily apparent.

Indeed - from my post here yesterday … a pretty blunt prognosis.
One of the Chernobyl employees said it was “suicidal” for the soldiers because the radioactive dust they inhaled was likely to cause internal radiation in their bodies.

That page mentions the Dritte Weg group (formed in 2013). I wonder if there’s any firmer connection between that group and Three Percenters (formed in 2008), beyond the III iconography, which is plausibly coincidental.

Putin’s poisoned his own soldiers, and possibly by the many hundreds.

Ever. Lying (especially to Baltic states and anything near west of Russia) has been a Russian tool since the end of WWII.
