To be, or not to be
The old adage: "If you can't blind them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit" comes to mind with our current course of foreign policy. I really don't think any of our western world leaders (and I use that term very loosely) have a Plan A, let alone a B,C or D. With all the bluster, bullying, and complete changes in direction, I'm beginning to believe none of them know what they are doing from hour to hour. It's like they are winging it with every headline every hour. It beyond throwing crap against the wall to see what will stick. It's now a wild panicked frenzy to appear relevant.
It should be demanded of all western world leaders to list 5 accomplishments from last week to justify their jobs.
Biden's junkyard dog Zelensky has been abandoned to starvation, and Trump's dog J.D. has been loosed upon him to apply the coup de grace. Soon, Trump will come to find there is nothing in that junkyard worth two hoots.
And Starmer, trying to look like he is relevant, is yet to learn that Russia will crush him and his multinational legions (3 brigades) like bugs on a sidewalk.
Putin's caravan of de-militarization and de-Nazification proceeds onward, as the dogs bark.
Thread is open.

the EU bloc needs to scare their constituencies
into some existential terror of the RUS and CHI
threats. And now even the US is their enemy?
A bunch of insecure twits. But Canada will help?
And the once mighty Brits will lead the charge!
Do any of these baffoons have the cranial capacity
to realize it is time to sheath their rattling swords,
maybe back-down a few steps and consider what
national suicide may look like? I wonder if their egotistical
'agendas' need a damn good whacking. The elites seem
to be confusing their imagined power with reality.
Thanks for the OT.
question everything
Good morning, Capt.
I read a couple of reports of a Russian missile attack on a British container ship suspected of carrying weapons to Odessa. Didn't sink it but significant damage.
I hope they get the message.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
Good morning e1. There are a plethora of heads of state,
most of whom are keeping their heads down and their mouths shut in order to avoid the stigma of looking like an idiot. Starmer is irrelevant. Should he actually try to put Brit troops in ukiestan the no confidence vote would be immediate. He would, in effect, be sending UK troops to certain death in order to try to provoke a wider war, and that would be explained to Parliament and the populace by many, many voices. England and France have been Russia's implacable foes, with no good reason or justification, for ages, it would really be nice if their populations could be educated as to that fact and advised that it was perhaps time for their ruling classes to grow-the-fuck-up.
be well and have a good one.

Right!
When Britain left the EU chat with Brexit, pretty much slamming the door behind them, it was a major statement that they are not a part of Europe.
But now they want European cannon fodder to fight Russia?
Didn't this happen in the leadup to WW2?
Starmer stirring the shitpot.
Thanks for the comment.
Hope you are mending well.

The Democratic opposition. HAH! The following tweet speaks
for itself.
They're all wired together
One small flashover would electrocute all of them.
Thanks for stopping by.

They would be in so much trouble
....if they were in the People's Republic. The People don't put up with dumb legislators. They have a strict meritocracy. That's how they get so much rewarding stuff done
funny gnus headline in RT
.
ukie actor Ze
has been given a new script
"ready to negotiate with Putin immediately"
maybe tomorrow it will change again?
perhaps the threatened end to the flow of
weapons and intelligence made his handlers panic?
question everything
Maybe Trump threaten to halt the flow of the "white powder" in
order to get his attention and subservience.
That would do it.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
Flip-flopping
has been redefined as adjustable diplomacy.
Imagine cutting the heads off of a thousand chickens at once and turning them loose.
It's starting to be that funny.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.

China does not appear to be impressed by Trump's actions.
The rest of the tweet:
The bully has no clothes
And China has no problem pointing this out.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.

Yes, as taught in the US diplomacy school
.
blame drug abuse on the Chinese
war on the Russians
economy collapse on Iran
crime on the immigrants
homelessness on drugs
and back around we go
question everything
Sounds like a nursery rhyme
Same origin as 'Ring Around the Rosey.'.
round and round we go, where does it take us?

nobody knows
have an idea, but it ain't pretty

Trump and Ze are signing some mineral deal.
No details about security, or whether Americans will be on the ground. Lots of brouhaha for Russian rare earth minerals That never gets a mention in MSM.
Ze wants to negotiate peace with Russia all of a sudden.
I am having a health episode due to whiplash.
Otherwise, it is another Tuesday in my neck of the woods.

Well of course….
Shitlibs are raging over Trump wanting to take Ukraine’s minerals, but they don’t know that Zelensky has already sold the best farmlands to Blackrock as well as other Ukrainian natural resources.
Boy they have lost whatever mind they had left. There was a float in Germany of a bear having A sex with Trump so they posted the picture and the comments made it even worse.
You know…the shitlibs who are for gay and trans rights celebrating this type of depiction of Trump and Putin. They mocked that they were in a homosexual relationship. Eeewww!
Scientists are concerned that conspiracy theories may die out if they keep coming true at the current alarming rate.
Only the politically correct gays
are fabulous, deserving parades and flags. The wrong kind of gays are sick and twisted perverts, if I am understanding this correctly, deserving public humiliation and scorn.

You've caught the cadence in this open thread.
But, you have a great deal more than they had to Howl about.

What a slap in the face to the TDS collaborators:
Soon, Trump will come to find there is nothing in that junkyard worth two hoots.
Soon, Trump will find nothing in the soil worth two boots on the ground.

That's funny....

Never saw that show, but I do know Jack Keroac talked about
hanging out at one particular place and watching Slim Gaillard perform Cement Mixer, so maybe this can replace Bob Denver:

I wonder if it was USAID and or NED that supplied the opposition

Could have been

What Democrats attending Trump’s address WISH they’d done, I bet
The sergeants-at-arms would have had their hands full maintaining decorum with flares and smoke bombs flying.
Kennedy took a lot of flak yesterday
.
for writing about the measles outbreak in Texas and he advised people to talk with their doctors about getting a vaccine for it. Whatever. But it’s what Kennedy did today that has so many people freaking out.

Making America healthy means building communities

of trust and mutual respect, based on speech freedom and open debate.
That is true.
I do appreciate what Kennedy is trying to do to change the conversation.
it is an uphill battle at this point.
question everything
Doesn’t Kennedy know that Trump
wants to shut down free speech if it’s against Israel or Zionism? That’s what made the veep look so bad when he lectured Europe about all the while knowing what Trump was doing here.
And he’s working with Israel to find people who protested on campuses.

Just finished watching
Trump's address. He didn't have anything to say about Israel. It was as if he was prohibited.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
Did you stock up on Maalox prior to watching? NT
He would have been met with silence
or cheers if he had mentioned Israel. I don’t know anyone in congress that isn’t on board with what Israel is doing.
As someone said, I could stand on a street corner and bitch about America and no one would say boo. But if I bitched about Israel I’d be hassled by the PTB.
Israel has cracked down on anti Israel speech across the globe. Boy that tells you something doesn’t it?

I doubt he can ever win my respect
#9 back. I understand he wanted parents to ask questions about the MMR, but after decades of leading the charge against all the poisonous contents in these vaxxes, he called them safe? Did he remind parents to discuss aluminum particles and other deadly contents with the pediatricians?
And now he is worried about the sickness of anti-semitism, bad for kids, but not the genocidal impulses brought about by Zionism? Well, after all, dead Palestinian kids are just dead sub-humans. I keep forgetting!
"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." ---- William Casey, CIA Director, 1981
He lost mine the first time he swung for
Israel and called Palestinians pampered. How many people has anti semitism killed recently compared with the number of people who have been slaughtered by our bombs in Palestine?
I can’t wait to see what the right wing site says about this tomorrow. Or if he will continue to ignore the Gaza genocide.
Sachs made a great point. We had a revolution because we didn’t want to be ruled by a king. Well we are definitely being ruled by just one man when he keeps declaring emergencies and making policy that should be what congress does.
The right wing site hated it when Biden created emergencies and passed legislation that they didn’t like, but hey it’s our man doing it! Rah, rah! Blehh!

congress is at this point a wet Kleenex
.
their constitutional role
has been subjugated by
special interests for years
As an institution they are meaningless
Just noise in an echo chamber
Anytime a spine is elevated to some
meaningful role, like representing the
needs of the people
they are miraculously subjugated
into oblivion or change their tune
Not a fan of the 'murican way
question everything
Yup
What have we heard about congress passing bills and legislation like we did a decade ago? Seems like both parties were working hard on legislation, but since Trump’s first term it seems like congress does very little of anything anymore.
Massie told us that congress no longer writes bills. The lobbyists do and congress only votes on whatever they write without any discussion on the floor.
Seems like most things are done through executive orders and congress is just a bystander anymore.
Presidents decide where to send the military and congress only has to pay the bills.
I can imagine the founders rolling in their graves over what the government has become.
