The markets were down today but not nearly as much as they should be, looking at the fucking news. The headlines could not get worse and I am surprised by so many on Wall Street for sleep walking into what appears to be almost assured mutual destruction. It’s very easy to mock and deride the Russian war effort in Ukraine, showcasing their losses and broken down equipment — from the comforts of our plush offices. Should the west decide to wage war against them, it’s assured they will not be as kind to us as they are being in the Ukraine and total fucking war will be waged from coast to coast and all cities in the west would be targets and all males over the age of 18 subject to compulsory military service.
Oh you think I’m just dredging up bullshit scare mongering nonsense?
Observe the comments from EU’s Borrell today and then Russia’s Lavrov:
EU’s Borrell:
“This war will be won on the battlefield. Additional €500 million from the EPF are underway. Weapon deliveries will be tailored to Ukrainian needs.”
Lavrov:
“Borrell’s statement has significantly changed the rules of the game”. EU leaders have never before publicly prioritized military action over diplomacy.”
The groundwork is being laid out to condition you for war with Russia. You will think they’re weak and we might be able to beat them out of the Ukraine. But scores of people will die in the process and the soft touch approach to their “special military operation” will be replaced with scorched earth. Believe me, I understand full well our country can conduct brutal campaigns in the name of democracy and/or freedom. But I keep harkening back to this voice in my head that is asking the same question over and over again: “WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I CARE ABOUT UKRAINE?”
It’s very sad indeed that their country is being uprooted and the blame for that rests solely on the shoulders of Zelensky and its leaders. The decision was made after 2014 to eschew their powerful ancestral brethren in Russia for America and Europe. While the cosmopolitans in Kiev basked in western crony capitalism — the fucks in Moscow were getting irate. They did not read the room and now we have a fucking war laying waste to the country and the fucks in Kiev, who could not read the room, are trying their best to rope the world into a war with Russia — all for the sake of retaining power and their regime.
Why should my sons die for Kiev?

I know many of you are weak beta males and are not used to a strong alpha like me but that is neither here nor there.
What is important is you refer to me by my new legal name Oak Johnson. Big Oak Johnson they call me know.
It sure ain’t pretty and the west bears some responsibility for luring Ukraine into joining NATO. However, my only hope resides in knowing that these criminals, lavrov and putin, unlike the traitorous repubs in our country, are patriots and love their mother russia. Knowing that their country would be turned into glass were they to use weapons of mass destruction, would be my only hope that they won’t!
After it’s all said and done, in a few months time, the USA will have some kind of control of some of russia’s resources…And we fucking deserve it!
Even if you’re correct, you will not be a beneficiary of said resources.
That’s the dumbest comment on these here internets!
Sure it is Helen…sure it is. The nurse will be here soon to give you your meds. It’s going to be okay.
I know it’s difficult for you, Helen. But your time of running our country into the ground is coming quickly to a close.
How does it feel, knowing in your heart that the traitorous repubs will be seizing every branch of government up for election this November because our people’s values align with them and think they’re better at governing?
As long as we are thinking about the evil Rooskies 24/7, we won’t notice how Brandon and his pals are wrecking the USA from the inside out.
Just blame Putin.
Wag the dog.
I thought this military operation was to rid Ukraine of Nazis? No? LOL. Moving the goalpost, surely a sign of winning.
I guess they’ve finally had enough of getting bent over, over and over again. Basically Lavrovs words.
You say the dumbest shit. I’m old enough to remember when you regurgitated Alex Jones. See you’ve moved on to Tucker. Nice. Take a deep breath, grab your blanket, and go back to hawking Stocklabs to newbies.
