So what should our punishment be for f'ing up other nations and replacing their gov with one that answers to us?Clearly not.
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.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.
I don't watch their crap tv programming or their movies.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.
Uh oh... we have one here who can SEE!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.
Great book for a deep dive in to CIA schemes worldwide: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.
Anybody who drinks reindeer blood, Alive on the hoof, must be a bubble or two of center anyway.Those peace-loving Finns...
If a country agrees to an international law/standard/treaty, they should abide it. They should face international backlash if they breach same.All I am advocating for, is equal standards.

Ronald Bernard did. He was at the top in FOREX and when they wanted him to 'prove' himself he backed out. This is in Dutch, with a voice over in English. His story was my first introduction into the Satanists that rule..." anyone on the inside wanting out or quitting ... dies "
Lotta truth here but I consider the first victims of war to be the innocent people simply going about their daily lives and trying to survive.
I know people who have literally lost their minds.
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.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.
I just want our nation to live by the same standards we insist on others living by.
Iran in '52 where we installed a pro-West leader in order to gain access to their resources, was their first of many foreign operations.
That's kind of what I've gathered from the indy reporters on the scene who interview joe blows living there.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.
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.
Ethnically they ARE Russian.... been that way for, oh, 300 years or so?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.

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 .

BECAUSE OF ALL the scattered preprogrammed disinformation provided by spin doctors, trolls, sick minds and because of the received LOVE CARING MESSAGES from the people, I share the following:voice-over
- My social media accounts are not been hijacked. I'm not controlled opposition. I'm fully liberated
- On my channel: https://bit.ly/2TnEmbw you can read about the news of my presumed dead.
- Don't worry about me. Because of my trust in: https://bit.ly/2AGF8d3 I'm protected and more than fine
- I fully support the first and second highest commandments (Mark 12: 29-31) given by the King.
- Creation awaits the revelation of the children of God who will take action, besides praying and blessing.
- All the false assumptions about me are serving the 'old power' who loves to see us divided forever.

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.
Probably because Russia's original complaints were lies/propaganda that were easily debunked by (Russian) experts in the subject.

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.

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]

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