    No.  In fact, I'd say it's completely delusional to think that Russia isn't obviously winning.  In fact, they've exceeded all of their pre-war aims.  They control 1/5 of Ukraine's territory.  They control more than their pre-war objectives and are well-situated to take even more if they want.  (They've basically made clear that Poland can have Galicia if they just get sensible.)  Ukraine has lost half its population (mainly from people leaving) and has to resort to appalling impressment campaigns just to get teenage and elderly conscripts for the meat grinder.  The average age of the Ukrainian soldier is 43.  Ukraine is finished as a military force and won't be joining NATO.  (Despite massive support from the US and EU, the Ukrainian army is arguably in worse shape than the Wehrmacht in 1945, which was after 4+ years of fighting the entire world.)  This is a war of attrition in which Russia clearly has the upper hand, barring American entry (which isn't gonna happen).

    This says nothing of the shocking geopolitical developments, which have greatly strengthened China and gutted German industrial capacity and generally put the US Empire on shaky ground.  The real issue isn't whether Russia is winning, but rather how badly the US is losing.  

     

    Great post, John.

    Puppet takes power. Puppet cuts defense, R&D, and implements a "Go Green" agenda. 

    Denies other countries to send jets to make a difference when it might have mattered.

    Yells @ Zelinskyy by phone (June 2022) telling him he should be grateful for what he's got.

    Says nuclear annihilation is less important than global warming.

    Announces openly to Ukraine, 'C'mon Man, the US is out of ammo.'

    Grows Russia's economy like a fatted calf, lifting the sanctions off their pipeline.

    And when that's destroyed (and to this day) buying their energy via India.

    Threating NATO intentionally on Russia's doorstep, opening reason to wage retaliation.

    Charging Europe insane prices for energy! Absolutely causing an economic crisis.

    You raise a good question. What are the intensions for this?

     

    I could be wrong, but when Ukraine gained independence, were they supposed to remain neutral?

    They almost had peace, but I think BJ intervened.

    Foolish escalation of two-year conflict Ukraine is clearly losing and will not win.

    Regarding the F-16s, there will be no way to know who is flying them, unless someone defects. My question is: Where would they take off and be landing? Romania? Unless Ukraine has an airstrip built underground which would be difficult because they don't really have many mountains.

    Escalation is stupid, I agree.

    All true but this folly goes back to the Budapest Memorandum agreement of 1994, where in exchange for denuclearization the US, UK and Russia would guarentee Ukraine's security. It was all well and good until the Obama administration started making overtures about Ukraine joining NATO. Putin was never going to stand for that, and unfortunately took the bait and invaded, leading to this globalist proxy war against Russia. This conflict is about attempting to defeat Putin and Russia to usher in globalist aims and objectives. Anyone who thinks Ukraine became some bastion of freedom and democracy is a sucker. Ukraine is little more than a globalist slush fund for defense contractors...and if Trump is reelected US aid and involvement will end within days.     

    Yup! The Soros Administration, 10 years gone, proudly raised its arm to take credit for the Maidan uprising via the Non-Government Organizations it had planted.

    They folded their arms and basically observed the take over of Crimea. They forfeited the Budapest agreement and sent Ukraine blankets, band-aids, and some nice night-vision goggles.

    It's the same people 10 years ago as now. Again dangling NATO like a carrot in 2021. Russia answered.

    After defeating Ukraine in Avdiivka five days ago, the Russian army is expanding and pushing 5 directions from there while adding another 50,000 troops.

    Odesa will be next. Who knows, Russia may take up Transnistria on it's plea to be annexed (but that's a long shot). https://www.romaniajournal.ro/politics/transnistria-would-request-annexation-to-russia/

    Hey Panther man, how you been?

    Did you do the football pool this year?  I retired after beating Walter and having fun with that.

    You did great. Trumping someone with 3 decks was amazing to watch. :D

    I'm feeling phenomenal, Kipper. Thanks for asking

    It is surprising how willing ordinary Ukrainians are to be cannon fodder for a US proxy war.  I get being anti-Russian but how can they possibly want to sacrifice for US geopolitical interests?  But then again Zelensky is essentially a dictator at this stage so it's not like there's any feasible means of opposition in the Ukraine.  Of course it's also surprising how eager Poles and the Baltics are for this war go global (they'll be destroyed just like in WW2, Poland in particular should understand the worthlessness of Anglo-American security guarantees), it's a good indication of how effective propaganda can be.  

    Ukraine doesn't see this as a proxy war. They are grateful for the assistance, and are conscious that they have less ammo, so they're making it all count.

    They aren't receiving any offensive weapons to help them win, so they use what's given to them, as well as strategic knowledge of where the opposing forces are (due to assistance from the west).

    I've never understood why jets and long range HIMARS have been rejected by NATO, as both can be used for defense or offense.

    It's the same with a gun.

    Did you see where they didn’t actually inject the person - it was behind their arm, not in it! 🙄

    my thread 🧵 lives!!!

    Did you see where the nurse passed out? Some strong adverse reactions. 

    It's sad to see that.

    I was happy my friend got out of the hospital after 10 days of COVID. Has the pneumonia now. And my brother and family are better after the virus went through his family.

    Well thanks for the kind words.   I figure since its the biggest deal going on in the world its pretty lame to ignore it.  Cuomo is totally for the vaccine.  He had it televised, some nobody getting the first shot from some nobody doctor.  Gee, what excitement. I am so mad at Cuomo now for other reasons though.  I tweet the prick daily and his smokin hot sidekick Melissa DeRosa.  Ha.  Following her on Twitter like some school boy with a crush on a teacher.  Oh yeah, I have a crush.  Melissa DeRosa!  Cuomo likely has one too.  I sure hope this damn vaccine is ok, because I have no choice but to take it. But by the time it gets to me, in either mid to late Feb or March they say, I may know more.?

    I'm glad you tweet the guy. New Yorkers don't have it so easy. And it was the epicenter of the breakout, early on. 

    The first thing that didn't make sense to me about the jerk, was that during the height, brave volunteers came in to help, while New Yorkers were fleeing. One of the first statements he made about that was that he thanked the volunteers. Next he told them they would be taxed for working in the State of New York! Terrible.

    NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo Vows To Block COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution, Says It’s Bad That Vaccine Came During Trump Admin
    NOVEMBER 9, 2020 By Jordan Davidson
    New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo publicly rejected the Trump Administration’s efforts to move forward implementing a COVID-19 vaccine, vowing to work with other governors to stop its distribution “before it does damage.”

    “The Trump administration is rolling out the vaccination plan and I believe it’s flawed,” Cuomo said. “I believe that it learns nothing from the past.”

    “You have two months and we can’t let this vaccination plan go forward the way the Trump administration is designing it because Biden can’t undo it and two months later will be in the midst of it,” Cuomo continued.

    Cuomo’s reaction comes shortly after early data from Pfizer, a private drug-making company in conjunction with BioNTech, shows that its COVID-19 vaccine appears to be more than 90 percent effective in preventing the virus.

    And I mean respectfully disagree, 77. These new effects on this site will not allow me to edit.

    So if any LZ mods get on me for posting the truth, *shrugging shoulders* it's the truth. LOL :)

    Rick, I don't wish your thread deleted. You are honest to your thoughts as am I. I like your thread, and don't mean to disrespect it.

    I hate that things disappear around here, due to pride or whatever. I don't have any. 😆 so I'm just gonna agree to disagree sometimes.

    No disrespect, Man. I only hope Truth, Love, and Good Health to each and every member posting on here. Including mods. :) Merry Christmas

    And you Rick. 77. Please MODS don't delete his thread. Good Guy. It's the only friggin' COVID thread we have. LOL😄 We need it.

    And thank you, Rick. Thank you for the thread. 👍

    Did you see where they were quite deliberate about ensuring the first person to be vaccinated in the US was a black female, by a black female doctor? This was reportedly done to alleviate concerns in minorities communities about the COVID-19 vaccinations being another Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment in disguise. This country just can't get over itself.

    Dayam! You're kidding me, Jonesy! 

    Sick! Have we devolved that much? I didn't see that, but I did see "The Fauch" at the end of last week, trying to coerce blacks into taking it.

     “That vaccine was actually developed in my institute’s Vaccine Research Center by a team of scientists led by Dr. Barney Graham and his close colleague, Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, or Kizzy Corbett,” Fauci said. “Kizzy is an African-American scientist who is right at the forefront of the development of the vaccine.”

    The doctor is so confident that black Americans will respond to this race-based message that he even suggested opening with the line to encourage them to trust the vaccine. “So the first thing you might want to say to my African-American brothers and sisters is that, ‘The vaccine that you’re gonna be taking was developed by an African-American woman.’ And that is just a fact.”

    "My A-A bros and sisters." Another fact that the Fauch doesn't know, is that most people of color do not see this white piece of crap, as their brother.

    Isn't this the same doc that said we need to be locked down for AIDS, until he found a cure? I'm sure half the country <- believes in this identity politic crap. 

     

    If our A-A brothers and sisters don't want it, why push it? As China-Joe would say *before sniffing a girl's hair, "C'mon, Man".*

    First of all, the last electric chair in the U.S. was put to pasture years ago...so there will be no "frying".

     

    Second, although i agree this is a ploy to get him to the States to face trial, there will be nobody seeking the death penalty for espionage. Even a U.S. soldier recently arrested for sharing top secret documents is facing prison time only.

     

    If Assange is so positive that what he did was right, he should be able to defend his actions in court!

    Is Assange to be pardoned?

  15. I'm sure there is some 7 year old topic on this board,  somewhere. So be it.

    40 years ago this week, the world lost a Beatle more popular than J.C.

    Awesome musician, that came along at the right time.

    Hi there! I'm from Spain and my english is so bad, but I'm sure you will understand me.

    I've never been fan of Led Zeppelin, until now. Let me explain. Last week I bought a Fiio M11 DAP because I wanted to rip all my CD collection into FLAC or ALAC and hear it with a Hi-Res device.

    Yesterday, talking with a friend about music, he told me: Hey I can share my CD collection with you to rip more CD's, and he lent me "The Complete Studio Recordings". The only song I've ever listened from LZ is Stairway to heaven.... really. Today I've listened Led Zeppelin IV and after that I said: Now I know I'm a LZ fan. I don't understand why I've never been a fan.

    Absolutely great!! That's the music I love to listen. Now i'm gonna listen the other albums, but I have a question about Led Zeppelin IV: I realize that a background noise is always present. It's something like: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. It's like the noise from the needle in a turntable when hearing a silent track.

    Isn't it supposed to be a remastered CD? I've heard both CD and it's ripped version in FLAC, and this noise is always present. For example, if you play Stairway to heaven, the first seconds you can hear this noise.... SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Is this normal?

    I understand it's a 50 year old album... but I don't know why the engineers didn't fix that in the remaster process. Can someone enlighten me? Thx a lot.
