Russia will never tolerate Ukraine as a member of NATO

They're also euthanizing the "mentally ill" in Canada now. And, who exactly is "mentally ill"? Anybody the Canadian government says is "mentally ill".

A nice commentary on contemporary feminism. Have modern feminists been too clever by half? In an effort to achieve equality with men, or even superiority over men, have they simply put themselves into a position where women have no clear social function at all, and, are consequently treated as non-entities?

Hey, buddy,, if you refuse to become a vassal of the US empire, you've most definitely made a move they don't approve of!

She's totally insane. How on earth did she manage to persuade a jury to award her money? What's that all about, exactly?

The American people already oppose this war. Most of Europe, with the exception of the British, never really supported it. I really don't see how support can continue indefinitely under these circumstances, whatever the "elites" might wish. And, of course, without massive outside support, Ukraine is Russian. Inevitably.

jerryk · 2023-09-27T19:52:48+00:00

Sure. Of course, NATO will claim that their intentions are totally peaceful. Sure, the U.S. never attacked anybody! Other than Vietnam, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Grenada, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan etc. etc. and anybody they don't like, anywhere on planet, with totally illegal terrorist drone strikes with murderous intent! Now, Russia isn't perfect, by any means. But, who is?

When someone makes a move

Of which we don't approve

Who is it that always intervenes?

U.N. and O.A.S.,

They have their place, I guess

But first send the Marines!

We'll send them all we've got

John Wayne and Randolph Scott

Remember those exciting fighting scenes?

To the shores of Tripoli

But not to Mississippoli

What do we do? we send the Marines!

For might makes right

And till they've seen the light

They've got to be protected

All their rights respected

Till somebody we like can be elected!

Members of the Corps

All hate the thought of war

They'd rather kill them off by peaceful means

Stop calling it aggression

Ooh, we hate that expression!

We only want the world to know

That we support the status quo

They love us everywhere we go

So when in doubt

Send the Marines!

Tom Lehrer Send the Marines!

You know, I grew up in Canada, although I was born in the U.S. That sounds so Canadian! No freedom of speech, all Canadians are supposed to march in lock-step with the government.

Americans have been so successful for most of their history that they simply cannot conceive of the possibility that anyone could possibly disagree with them about anything, and be right. The Russians have their own ways of doing things, and they aren't always totally consistent with American views and values. But, the Russians have been around much longer than Americans have been. And, the Russians know very well what they are doing. America should not underestimate Russia. Nations that underestimate Russia always regret it, and suffer for it. Always.

jerryk · 2023-09-27T20:53:08+00:00

You make a good point. Certainly, American society is decadent and corrupt as all Hell. Surely, one could have no better symbol of this than Elon Musk, I believe. A drugged up, oversexed con artist presenting himself as a scientific genius and the greatest inventor since Thomas Edison. And, Americans believe it, too! Now, his "Starship" threatens to destroy the States of Texas and Florida by repeated catastrophic explosions, as Musk prepares to colonize Mars with a rocket that can't even get off the ground without blowing up. Musk has slaughtered innumerable monkeys in a quest to cure mental illness with brain implants in his Neuralink company. Now, he wants to kill innumerable people with human trials of the same "technology". Musk is, by this time, totally insane.

It's a common misconception that Europe has freedom of speech. It does not. Even Canada doesn't really have nearly the level of freedom of speech that the U.S. has. Putin's Russia is no more restrictive of freedom of speech than the rest of Europe is.

jerryk · 2024-04-01T17:52:23+00:00

You understand my point, then. I'm an American, but, obviously, America is in no position to accuse the Russians of being incompetent or undemocratic these days, are they?

Most people don't. Even in Russia, this aspect of Stalin -- his extreme physical vulnerability -- is deemphasized. Stalin is almost the diametrical opposite of Russian tsarist hero, Peter the Great -- who was six foot eight, burly, all muscle, and very athletic. Peter the Great was almost a superman. Stalin was scarcely a man at all by comparison. Yet, they serve rather similar roles in Russian history. Peter the Great modernized Russia with slave labor programs and education. Stalin did largely the same. Both were very brutal, but also very effective.

Lindsey likes wars. They're profitable and get him votes. He's probably going to have to dump the Ukraine war, though, the Pentagon only has so many weapons to go around.

jerryk · 2024-04-08T19:25:35+00:00

Sure. That works too, of course.

jerryk · 2024-03-15T22:36:19+00:00

True. But, even poor, uneducated Canadians, who have the courage to buck the utterly corrupt and inept Canadian government, would make very good Americans!

jerryk · 2024-03-15T21:56:43+00:00

You may well be right. We should welcome them, they'll be good Americans.

jerryk · 2024-03-12T19:56:29+00:00

I think it's meaningless to argue with you because you seem to be firmly in the pro-CIA propaganda bubble. For your information, Russia limits its attacks to military assets and important infrastructure in Ukraine, and in Odessa. These Russians online are telling the simple truth -- Russia wants to win this war, and is doing so.

jerryk · 2024-03-12T18:19:07+00:00

The place to draw the line is Poland, not Ukraine. Ukraine is traditional Russian territory for centuries, Poland is not. We should put ten divisions of U.S. troops in Poland, that will be quite sufficient to keep Russia under control, along with our nuclear deterrent. NATO's current activities in Ukraine are just making Russia stronger, and getting Russia angry. They are not defending NATO, they are making NATO weaker.

I think it's pretty messed up, currently. What I'm hoping, is that AI generated pornography might simply eliminate the market for actual, real pornography, so there are no "victims" anymore, and the issue will simply go away, spontaneously.

Yeah, well the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging score may not be the best way to win world wars! But, I guess you already knew that, didn't you?

I'm assuming here that antisemitism is fundamentally irrational. In that case, drugging people up should make them more antisemitic, not less, since drugs cause brain damage and irrationality. So, this really isn't a very good idea, at all.

jerryk · 2023-09-24T20:19:05+00:00

Much obliged! Especially for considering this to be "poetry". It's more pastiche and satire, of course!

jerryk · 2024-05-02T21:34:52+00:00

So, they just want attention, period?

jerryk · 2024-04-29T16:07:56+00:00

They've already been doing that. They're running out.

jerryk · 2024-04-22T15:49:42+00:00

Yeah, I guess so!

jerryk · 2024-04-18T23:12:08+00:00

So, does this mean that pedophilia is now legal in California, as long as the sex is paid for, and it isn't actually a forcible rape? If so, that means what is a capital offense in Florida, is now perfectly legal in California. Can we really run a united country this way?

jerryk · 2024-04-08T20:22:47+00:00

Maybe. But, I suppose we could all apply for token black or Muslim status, in this particular case.

jerryk · 2024-04-01T19:13:57+00:00

Correct.

jerryk · 2024-03-15T22:04:32+00:00

Cool. I guess every cloud has a silver lining, then.

jerryk · 2024-03-12T19:25:59+00:00

You're skeptical? Fair enough. Where else but Odessa could the drone boats be launched from, in the large scale and systematic way necessary, given that Russia controls all other ports on the Black Sea? So, they're in Odessa. If the controllers and factories were out in the open, Russia would have destroyed them all, long ago. So, they're hiding. Where else could they hide, except in the civilian apartment buildings, and why would the Russians be wasting valuable missiles on destroying civilian apartment buildings unless they contained important military assets like these?
You have some other explanation? Mine makes perfect sense, I believe.

jerryk · 2024-03-12T18:48:03+00:00

Sorry, I'm not CIA. I don't think like a CIA op, and neither do most Americans. I prefer to avoid wars, not encourage them. There's no World War III when Russia gets to Poland, they won't fight Poland if Poland is strong enough. It's just a natural border for NATO. No problem. Peace through strength, in Poland.

jerryk · 2024-03-09T17:31:29+00:00

Pretty much!

jerryk · 2024-02-24T17:19:52+00:00

It's my translation, but, this is a standard poem attributed to Stalin, and published in anthologies. You can look it up online. Here's the original.

Ходил он от дома к дому,

Стучась у чужих дверей,

Со старым дубовым пандури,

С нехитрою песней своей.

А в песне его, а в песне –

Как солнечный блеск чиста,

Звучала великая правда,

Возвышенная мечта.

Сердца, превращенные в камень,

Заставить биться сумел,

У многих будил он разум,

Дремавший в глубокой тьме.

Но вместо величья славы

Люди его земли

Отверженному отраву

В чаше преподнесли.

Сказали ему: “Проклятый,

Пей, осуши до дна...

И песня твоя чужда нам,

И правда твоя не нужна!”

jerryk · 2024-02-22T19:58:32+00:00

Thanks. Certainly, Stalin himself would have compared himself to Socrates, I believe.
