These old tired eyes have seen a lot. Never did I dream I'd see the things that I've seen the last three years. You know what I mean? I bet you do. The crazy has no limit, so it seems. It's as if the matrix software has been toggled to insane mode and we're living in some crazed oligarch's head.
We, the people, have been divided on so many levels, by design. If we agree on one thing, there's dozens of other things to disagree about. The dividers have had centuries to hone their skills. Divide and conquer has always been the tactic of those that wish to rule you and I and with the advances in technology and psychological manipulation it's a wonder that we still have any modicum of civility left in us. The division has gone much deeper than the left/right dichotomy with both sides being subdivided into multiple facets of hatred, diverging from the macro, to the molecular, to the atomic and sub-atomic. The divisions run deep. It seems like every day a new way to divide us is contrived.

Donkeys!
We often talk about the Democrat type of donkey, concerning which I have little approval (don't like the Republican type of elephant, either).

Submitted by gjohnsit on Wed, 01/25/2023 - 2:25pmThere is nothing, absolutely nothing, that NATO countries won't do to punish Russian oligarchs for their support for Putin. To do otherwise is not an option. It's a moral imperative.
Well, they'll do anything short of cutting into profits for the super wealthy that have invested in real estate.

Scott Ritter on Tank Realities
Submitted by Linda Wood on Wed, 01/25/2023 - 1:26pmRitter provides detailed information on the reality of tank warfare in Ukraine, as well as the maintenance nightmare as described by American veterans.
He also gives a history of the Banderite fascist Nazi armed groups supported by the U.S., starting with the CIA after WWII.
The most memorable part of this vital piece by Ritter is a quotation of remarks by Petr Bystron in the German Parliament.
