Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 3)

We’ll have to disgree on that point as I’ve not seen any indication that Putin sees a reverence for Russian heritage as a call for military expansion. He has repeatedly stressed the opposite though. A ceasefire in Ukraine may be impending and that would indicate he has no further desire for territory outside of influence over the Russian-speaking Donbas independent states. Thanks for not being absive btw.

Like a million times too.

Not that Tankie nazis will care or even register it.

Anyway, excerpts of Josh Shapiro’s new book is now being reported in the press and fuck me, what a weapon this guy is.

There’s a fair bit of petty nonsense regarding Harris, the campaign and the VP selection process that I dont think reflects well on him. But worst is his commentary on the vetting process. He claims he was asked if he had ever been an agent for the country of Israel and has suggested that it was antisemitic to ask that question of the only jewish candidate.

  1. he was not the only jewish candidate, so this framing is insulting and juvenile.
  2. he was asked not because he was jewish but because he fucking volunteered for the IDF in his youth and worked for the Israel embassy in DC
  3. Waltz was asked similar questions about China due to his time spent there
  4. It is a totally run of the mill question in the vetting for positions far less important than VP as seen with the totally non controversial questions asked of Waltz.

I’ve got a feeling the 2028 Dem nomination process is going to be a fucking shit show.

Fuck that despicable imbecile. Everyone who have followed events knows that Russia, according to RUSSIAN academics and experts , is embarked upon the path of Russky Mir (i.e. Gathering all of Rus, both land and peoples, inside the federation under one leader). That he is malevolently stupid enough not to know this and have bottled up on some imbecilic propaganda, should not give him to right to parrot these long debunked idiotic lines on this forum, where several posters have, years ago, debunked his idiotic propaganda.

Anyway, Newsom in Davos. He is right, but it is also a bit annoying, since US dems are equally useless to say the least. Because seriously, what are the Dems doing and what have they done the last year.

Previous Norwegian head of the Norwegian land forces is right on the money here. Because the problem is lack of strategy and the fact that everyone is just reacting, allowing Trump to absolutely always, have the initiative and dictate the discourse.

It’s not just vis a vis Ukraine either with Trump. It’s been his entire modus operandi now since he was first elected … and people are only just waking up that reality now. Really ! ? Get the cunt on the back foot for a change and let’s see the real Taco , the guy who hasn’t got it in him to think strategically even if his life fucking depended on it.

Macron really missed a trick at Davos…

Tell me this wouldn’t have confirmed his street cred.

As for us Europeans, this remains our biggest problem by far:

Hopefully, some drive and actual strategy can come out of this, but it is hard to be very optimistic since EUR will be in an internal bitch fight now, as to how far one should go to mollify Trump to save NATO etc. Because to deal with Russia without the US with so weak a militarty, well, it remains the actual big problem we have.
