Putin's big set-back
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 09/12/2022 - 7:28pmI know that some people here denied that Russia actually tried to seize Kiev during the original invasion and failed. After this ongoing setback for Russia I think that opinion will have to be reconsidered.

Cynical or stupid, corrupt or incompetant?
Submitted by doh1304 on Sun, 09/11/2022 - 12:38pmThis morning I saw a video criticizing "Liz Truss' energy policy". The gist was:
1, by capping out of pocket energy bills at $2500/yr (actually pounds, but $s are less confusing to Americans and my computer doesn't have a pound symbol) all the money will eventually go to the rich. And,
2, since all bills will exceed $2500/yr no matter what there is no incentive to reduce usage.

Out of the Frying Pan and into the Fire...
So we had an FBI raid on Trump followed by the "dark Brandon" speech avowing all Trump supporters as enemies of the state. Across the pond we saw the appointment of Ms. Truss (appropriately named mistrust) as PM of the UK literally as the 70+ year reigning Queen dies (replaced by King (WEF) Charles). Additionally propaganda is being piled deep with the so called Ukrainian counteroffensives (which may be a trap). Add insult to injury, Crystia Freeland, is a likely future head of NATO? Remember, she's the one that was freezing bank accounts of Canadians protesting the vaccine mandates.You can't make it up...
