So what should our punishment be for f'ing up other nations and replacing their gov with one that answers to us?

All I am advocating for, is equal standards.
You can't say that and not be considered a traitor to the efforts of the nation to keep us fat and happily immersed in 24/7 television and Hollywood distractions that keep you from 'seeing' the man behind the curtain keeping you enslaved.

I don't watch their crap tv programming or their movies.
The last movie I went to (more like dragged to, lol) was Titanic.
....and I haven't watched tv in at least 20 years. Can't hardly stand the s__t when I catch bits of it at other peoples houses.
 
Well shoot!
The non-NATO nations are all lying - I'm sure of it.





The TASS article came out today, pertaining to the draft to the UN that was obtained by the outlet, but I covered this 10 days ago via a report from the UN meeting between State Parties, discussing the US biological malfeasance in Ukraine.

This has been happening on the world stage for months, and the Western world are largely blind to it.

Here's an interesting article. If true, I wonder how Vlad and his cronies will react?

Finland Will Allow NATO to Place Nuclear Weapons on Border With Russia​


In a move that could risk infuriating Russia, nuclear weapons could possibly be positioned in Finland if the country's application to join NATO is approved, according to a report from a Finnish newspaper.

Both Finland and Sweden submitted applications to join NATO in May, in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. According to the Helsinki-based newspaper Iltalehti, the bill regarding potential NATO membership the Finnish government will put before parliament doesn't include any opt-outs for nuclear weapons.

Speaking to the paper, defense sources said Finland's foreign and defense ministers, Pekka Haavisto and Antti Kaikkonen, gave a "commitment" to NATO in July that they wouldn't seek "restrictions or national reservations" if Helsinki's application is accepted.

 
USA (CIA) has done real shitty stuff all over the western hemisphere (especially to Central America). No argument from me there.

But there is a difference between what the USA has done in the Western Hemisphere and what Russia set out to do (but failed and is now doing) in Ukraine.
Great book for a deep dive in to CIA schemes worldwide:

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - John Perkins

"Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is a semi-autobiographical book written by John Perkins, first published in 2004.[1][2]

The book provides Perkins' account of his career with engineering consulting firm Chas. T. Main in Boston. According to Perkins, his job at the firm was to convince leaders of underdeveloped countries to accept substantial development loans for large construction and engineering projects. Ensuring that these projects were contracted to U.S. companies, such loans provided political influence for the US and access to natural resources for American companies,[1]: 15, 239  thus primarily helping local elites and wealthy families, rather than the poor. According to Perkins, he began writing Confessions of an Economic Hit Man in the 1980s, but claims "threats or bribes always convinced [him] to stop."

Suggesting a system of corporatocracy and greed (rather than a unilateral conspiracy), Perkins claims the involvement of the National Security Agency (NSA), with whom he had interviewed for a job prior to joining Main. According to the author, this interview effectively constituted an independent screening that led to his subsequent hiring as an 'economic hit man' by Einar Greve,[3] vice president of the firm (and alleged NSA liaison).

The book was a commercial success, but critics expressed doubts about the accuracy of the claims Perkins made in Confessions of an Economic Hit Man." *
*- Of course "THEY" would.
 
All I am advocating for, is equal standards.
If a country agrees to an international law/standard/treaty, they should abide it. They should face international backlash if they breach same.

That said, having the CIA enable/orchestrate a political coup isn't exactly the same thing as a full on military invasion that targets civilians and civilian infrastructure while state media talks about genocide.
 
... and the Western world are largely blind to it. ...

Probably because Russia's original complaints were lies/propaganda that were easily debunked by (Russian) experts in the subject.
 
The Problem I had ( have ) with that book

Great book for a deep dive in to CIA schemes worldwide:

"Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is a semi-autobiographical book written by John Perkins, first published in 2004.
is
that within the first 50 pages of that book Perkins makes an assertion
to the effect
" anyone on the inside wanting out or quitting ... dies "

and yet Perkins Quit
and he had a web site for years subsequent
I have not looked for that website recently

contradictions are not allowed

YMMV

Russia Army Hits Kharkov Ukraine Hard With Heavy Artillery​

The Kharkov / Kharkiv Region is a very important area for Russia and despite losing control of most of the Region last month the battles for control rage on and Russia continues to hammer Ukrainian forces there with heavy artillery in an attempt to regain control of the area. In this report We show you the whole process of Russian forces( Artillery brigade, 1st Tank Army) firing the 152mm Self-propelled howitzer, 2S5 Giatsint-S, at Ukrainian forces in the Kharkov Region of Ukraine. Putin Declares Martial Law the 4 regions that had Russia-backed Referendums last month but its not as intense as it seems. Martial Law has been in place since 2014 in the Donetsk and Lugansk Peoples's Republics so Putin's announcement means nothing for the people that live there and this is confirmed by the acting heads of the republics Wagner mercenary group leader , said Wednesday that the private military contractor was “forming a people's militia” in Russia’s Belgorod region on the Ukrainian border to help protect Russia. Ukrainians told to 'charge everything' 30% of Ukraine's power grid destroyed by Russia as Putin to step up power plant attacks amid blackout fears.

The Russian-placed leadership of the Kherson are evacuating civilians as battle looms. About 50,000 to 60,000 people Have been moved, said Vladimir Saldo, the Russian-installed chief of Kherson.

It's still f'ing up another nation. It doesn't matter if it is done covertly or overtly. No nation has the Right to do that.
....and our cia has done it a bunch of times.

How about Iraq? We completely altered their nation over what amounted to lies about yellow cake uranium.

I just want our nation to live by the same standards we insist on others living by.

Out here we'd like that too. It's a trust issue, they don't seem to realise just how close they are to burning it down completely. If our nation wasn't roughly in line with a number of US interests I reckon we'd be close to saying sorry but you go in the box with China and Russia.
 
The ethnic Russians in the Donbas seem to have been on the menu since the new government took charge. I'm sure all they want is to be left to live a peaceful life.
That's kind of what I've gathered from the indy reporters on the scene who interview joe blows living there.

It is interesting that in watching the interviews I come away with the thought that these folks are salt-of-the-Earth people ... not 'sophisticated' like California or NY types.

I'm sure they are just trying to work out why the heck people want them dead. You can see why they might feel safer with the Russians in charge but in the end I bet they just want to be left in peace.

Ethnically they ARE Russian.... been that way for, oh, 300 years or so?

Ronald Bernard did.
Hmmm ...
Did What

Did Ronald Bernard Die ?

He did comment on undergoing torture that supposedly conditioned him
not to violate NDA's.

That is an interesting Video ... it mentions the POZ ... and UtuBe still carries it
I'd have thought UtuBe would have purged all that sort of stuff and
references to Child Sacrifice .

Me too, but there it is.

Like I said, that was my first inkling of the elite blood-letting child sacrifice world. Then 'Q' happened and the rest is history.

Interesting guy:

 
suppose that depends upon your perspective of what a provocation is and whether or not you think Ukraine is actually a sovereign country with self determination and within it's rights to choose it's own economic and defense partners. I mentioned before (more than once now?) that Putin was not going to allow Ukraine to turn to the West when his buddy got deposed. Nothing I'm reading here has changed that conviction.

So when the U.S. instituted a color revolution to overthrow a justly elected leader and installed zelinski that would count as overthrowing their sovereignty, right?
 
Probably because Russia's original complaints were lies/propaganda that were easily debunked by (Russian) experts in the subject.

You keep saying that, but all I have seen is propaganda. From the same types with a less than reputation.

Putin Chooses between a Series of Bad Options

Jeffrey D. McCausland

Abstract​

Now that Vladimir Putin has chosen a path of escalation in his unnecessary war of aggression against Ukraine, it is imperative Western policymakers know the consequences and how he might escalate further. This article examines recent events on the battlefield; the implications of the announced annexation of territory, mobilization of forces, and threats to employ “all means” to defend Russian territory; the domestic ramifications and Russian thinking on “hybrid warfare”; and the possible weaponization of food and energy as Putin determines future escalatory steps. It will assist American and European leaders in determining policies to deal with the ongoing crisis at this moment and prepare for an uncertain future.

US Army War College accusing another country of “unnecessary war of aggression.” That is rich.
 
So when the U.S. instituted a color revolution to overthrow a justly elected leader and installed zelinski that would count as overthrowing their sovereignty, right?

...
In November 2013, a wave of large-scale protests (known as Euromaidan) erupted in response to President Yanukovych's sudden decision not to sign a political association and free trade agreement with the European Union (EU), instead choosing closer ties to Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union. In February of that year, the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) had overwhelmingly approved finalizing the agreement with the EU.[26] Russia had put pressure on Ukraine to reject it.[27]
...
26) "Parliament passes statement on Ukraine's aspirations for European integration". Kyiv Post. 22 February 2013. "A total of 315 of the 349 MPs registered in the sitting hall supported the document on Friday. The draft document reads that the Verkhovna Rada "within its powers, will ensure that the recommendations concerning the signing of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, which are stipulated in the resolutions of the European Parliament and the conclusions of the Council of the EU approved on December 10, 2012, at a meeting of the EU foreign ministers, will be fulfilled.""

27) Dinan, Desmond; Nugent, Neil (eds.). The European Union in Crisis. Palgrave Macmillan. pp. 3, 274.
...


The catalyst for the Revolution of Dignity was Yanukovych's decision, bowing to pressure from Russia, that thwarted a process that had been in motion for seven years and enjoyed popular support. If he hadn't kowtowed to Putin, there would have been no revolution. Please don't tell me the USA bears primary responsibility for the revolution because Victoria Nuland handed out sandwiches and cookies.

You keep saying that, but all I have seen is propaganda. From the same types with a less than reputation.

If the Russian scientists mentioned in the article I referenced in post 565 were promulgating propaganda, then their statements/work would be easily debunked. I haven't seen it.
