Good article on what Russia and Wagner are up to in the Sahel region of Africa, displacing France

https://archive.is/Yh3FL

Now we get to see how Wagner stays relevant in the continent after being gutted in Ukraine and now undercut and isolated at home. Sustaining a presence of fighters abroad costs money, takes manpower, requires the cooperation of the Russian state and those that run it. I think the cook is on borrowed time myself.

Utilizing criminals and psychopaths has also left the predictable wake in Africa, just as in Ukraine. These guys are accused of raping women in maternity wards who just gave birth, gang raping mothers and their young daughters then making the victims pose naked for pics. Suffering and death follow them wherever they go. Eventually they will be shown the door, one way or another. Just might take longer in places like CAR.

Sure, but the truth is that conservatives only hate "communist" authoritarian regimes, like China and Venezuela. Or else it seems rather strange that non-communist dictators just happen to be given a pass by the right these days, while the right insists that only the commie ones are a concern. While you won't find much but negative comments about China on this discussion board, which is mostly liberals. Me, I hate all authoritarian regimes. You I'm not so sure.

Bottom line is that Trump loves Putin and now so do you. I bet you didn't before Trump. How does it feel to not own your own mind? I'd be embarrassed to go mouthing off other people's opinions and talking points on a public forum, without showing any independent thought. But hey, I'm weird that way.

His pea brain cannot comprehend how Chinese-style neo-authoritarianism has infiltrated Republican policy via Trump, Bannon and DeSantis, and how they have much more in common with the CCP than any Democrat.

Let him be entertained by his entertainers so they can keep robbing him blind.

Putin announced he is suspending START and other nonsense.

Russia's Putin issues new nuclear warnings to West over Ukraine

President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday delivered a warning to the West over Ukraine by suspending a landmark nuclear arms control treaty, announcing that new strategic systems had been put on combat duty, and threatening to resume nuclear tests.

you need to remove that Putin-shaped dildo from your rear portal.

He really needs to get to Ukraine. He could help those he supports so fervently, and hey, free dildo air delivery.

I skimmed the translation and it's pretty much the same old rhetoric as usual (Nazis in Ukraine, the west started the war, Russia strong, blah blah blah). They are already out of compliance with START anyway so the practical implications are kinda whatever.

 

[trenchfoot]

You are a dick dumb moron or a scumbag CCP sheeple. Which still translates into you being a stain.

Liberal warhawks have really screwed the world with your Russian nonsense the last 7 years. Congrats on helping elect a weak CCP puppet as US President and then giving China free reign to monopolize several key areas of the world economy. China is going to back Russia and form a coalition that the Western world cannot stop and seems like the elites have no interest in doing so. The Orange man tried to tell you Progresshevik sheeple that poking Russia and ignoring China was a bad move. Liberal sheeple don't understand that the CCP has been funding the Democrats for 30+ years, and thanks to the big guy, China is going to start being the puppet master for the new Liberal Economy. China has caused more crimes against humanity than Putin has dreamed about but nobody seems to care about that. You would think that causing a worldwide pandemic which caused millions of deaths and committing genocide would earn a country a spot of the "Crimes Against Humanity" list.

Thanks for proving my point.

To quote a commentator, Putin's speech is unhinged.
Not at war with the people.... yet carpet bombing the people.

Russian peace is misery, torture, and death to anybody who challenges the state in any way. It is literally indistinguishable from a war to anybody without their particular brand of national mental illness.

Wait 'till Vlad sees these pics. It'll be oopsie open windows time!

The Russian apologists on here would be really upset if they knew about this American president that once invaded a foreign country and killed tens of thousands of civilians as collateral damage and committed war crimes based on a big lie about weapons of mass destruction. Then he actually said as much many years later.

You listen to 1 1/2 hours of constant lying and your attention is gonna suffer, mates.

Now...

This was published yesterday, "lead story" 1st page New York Times online. Includes translated excerpts from Putin's speech, which was going longer than promised. Well, the link is evidently for the updated story, i.e. what's up there today.

This link should get anyone past the paywall for 14 days, i.e. until Tuesday, Mar. 7, 2023.

Live Updates: ‘Our Support Will Not Waver,’ Biden Says in Poland, Following Putin’s Signal of Sharper Break With West

In his defense, even the Romans used dildos.

Seen a few of these lately. Thermobaric grenades are quite efficient at taking care of abandoned/disabled Russian equipment.

Castro used to give marathon speeches lasting multiple hours. It's hard for me to imagine, unless you're just ranting and frothing at the mouth and rambling like a homeless guy on the subway.

Yup, had to google it:

"The evening lasted about three hours. I went back to my hotel and turned on the TV. Castro was still talking. No, it wasn't a replay.

Turns out that speech was nothing unusual for El Presidente. He still holds the record for the longest speech ever delivered at the United Nations — 4 hours and 29 minutes in 1960. And that was just a 140-character tweet compared to the 7 hours and 10 minutes he spoke at the Communist Party Congress in Havana in 1986."

AND FURTHERMORE . . .

That barrel temp is somewhere between 1600-1800 F!!!
It's toast.

FYI. Over the past couple of weeks, there have been several videos floating around YouTube about military aircraft being moved to Airbases in Poland near the Ukrainian border.

F-22 Raptor - US, a dozen, maybe more.
F-35 Lightning IIs - US, Brit, 16 combined.
F16 Vipers - US, a dozen, maybe more
F-18 Super Hornets - couldn't tell how many; couldn't see the tail markings so I don't know the country of origin (Canada???).
B-52 Stratofortress - US, looked like there were only 2.

Not sure why, other than upping the deterrence ante and showing Poland some love (more allied skin in the game).

Preparation for the Biden visit? Probably getting ready to intercept any cruise missiles headed for Kyiv during his trip.

2 B-52s can launch 40 nuclear cruise missiles. (Or 40 JDAMS)

It's amazing how close Putin's speech patterns and gaslighting mimics much of the GQP's methods. If you read a transcript of the speech you would be hard pressed to know if it was MTG/DeSantis/Trump vs being from Putin.
