Putin is Stark Raving Mad

People are saying that he’s not crazy, but here is a rebuff.

we have to look in his eyes… Oh God, do we have to?

Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer – who met with Putin in Moscow this past week in a first by a European leader since the invasion February 24 – said the Russian president is “in his own war logic” on Ukraine. In an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Nehammer said he thinks Putin believes he is winning the war, and “we have to look in his eyes and we have to confront him with that, what we see in Ukraine.’’

Poor Diddums Putin

May loose his boatie-woatie…

Stuck for repairs in an Italian marina, the Italians have been urged to seize it.

Hope they’ve got the balls.

He’s losing his war, he may lose his freakin’ boat… He’s already lost his mind his best athletes, his football, ballet dancers, his judo and his credibility.

And worst of all he’s lost McDonalds.

Plans to replace it with Uncle Vanya… A Big Vanya will never do it!

What next?

NO WAR!

The bravest person in Russia, Marina Ovsyannikova, an editor and producer with the TV channel, in an act of defiance she interrupted a news programme holding a sign denouncing the war in Ukraine. Denouncing government “propaganda” in a striking moment of public protest as the Kremlin cracks down on any criticism of its invasion of Ukraine.

Her personal protest was hailed around the world as a dangerous act of resistance.

Prior to her unscheduled appearance, she recorded a video explaining her motives to the Russian people. Available on Youtube.

Unfortunately, she is not to be found according to her lawyer and human rights. I have no doubt that Putin will have her ‘disappeared”. I can imagine that he is livid.

It been a while

Yes, six years since I last blogged. I decided to take a break and was on the verge of going where “old bloggers” go.

Bad Ukranian Translations

Так, шість років відтоді, як я востаннє вела блог. Я вирішив зробити перерву і був на порозі піти туди, куди ходять «старі блогери».

But recent events have called my attention, and I couldn't stay silent any longer.

Але останні події привернули мою увагу, і я більше не міг мовчати.

Vladimir Smeagol

There is a demon around. He's a nasty bastard and needs to be exorcised. Russia needs to know the nature of the devil they have spawned.

Навколо демон. Він мерзенний виродок, і його потрібно вигнати. Росія повинна знати природу диявола, якого вони породили

Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is despicable. I had a feeling when the annexed Crimea that the story was finished.

Putin is a power hungry megalomaniac who will stop at nothing to achieve his warped view of the world. The atrocities that he as committed in Ukraine are inhuman, the same madness that drove Hitler resulting in five years of war.

The thought that Putin has horrendous arms available, is frightening. He has no morals, he is a madman and he is totally out of control.

When I heard that the Moscow Patriarch Kirill had stated that Russia’s ‘military operation’ in Ukraine was justified, I was horrified. How can a religious leader in the 21st Century condone war? How can he align himself with a madman like Putin is unbelievable. He is straight out of the pages of medieval history.

I don’t know where this blog will go.

I will keep posting updates on Ukraine and the world. Maybe not daily, but who knows…

I must apologise for the design of this post. WordPress has changed since I was lat here… I am lost!

Russia, Ukraine, Putin, demon, war, religion

Why Women in Combat is a HORRIBLE Idea

By Opinionated Man

[Groan] I almost skipped this one… almost. As with any “serious” post I make, first let me back up what I will say and then say my piece. If you disagree with what I say I think there is a nice blog about bunny rabbits a couple posts below mine – read that instead.

Why I have an opinion? Well, for starters I am a KEYBOARD WARRIOR. I am a Vet. I have watched tons of war movies thereby making me an expert on the subject. And I watched Xena Warrior Princess, the TV Show, religiously growing up so I am pretty sure that clearly shows I am highly qualified to speak on this topic, so there.

Women should not be on the forefront of the battlefield. It is NOT that women are less courageous as a whole then men, cannot handle as much pain as men, or have less of a sense of duty or honor. These are not the reasons. Hell, while in the military I met tons of women soldiers that I would have trusted more with a weapon than some of the morons I worked with. That being said, does that mean they should be on the battlefront fighting in wars? No, it does not, and here is why.

UK’s Hague confirms ‘evidence’ of Syria chemical arms plans

William Hague says there will be “serious consequences” if Syria uses chemical weapons

British Foreign Secretary William Hague says the UK and the US have seen evidence that Syria is preparing to use chemical weapons.

Mr Hague told the BBC there was “enough evidence to know that they need a warning”.

The foreign secretary did not give details, as he said the evidence had come from “intelligence sources”.

A Syrian official insisted last week that it would “never, under any circumstances” use such weapons.

That statement followed a warning on Monday from US President Barack Obama that there would be consequences if Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons against his people.

Mr Hague told the BBC: “The president of the United States warned of serious consequences and he means it.”

Speaking at a security conference in Bahrain, he said he could understand why the public might be sceptical after the blunders made over Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction 10 years ago.

Both the USA and UK deceived the world over the WMD in Iraq, maybe that’s why I’m one of those sceptics mentioned above.

I have no doubt that Bashar al Bastard is quite capable of doing it! If he is, and there is proof, I get the feeling of “The Little Boy who Cried Wolf” syndrome.

I mean, this duplicity has been the modus operandi of the USA since Franklin D Roosevelt and Pearl Harbour. Strangely coincidental, my post on Tomus Arcanum is about exactly that today. Winston Churchill was no innocent either in respect of WWII.

I am mindful that the USA needs another war to stimulate the economy, the UK economy is looking a bit sick too at the moment; and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if both used the idea of ‘evidence’ as a reason to convince the world.

There is no question that Bashar al-Bastard needs to be removed, what concerns me is the duplicity being used, again.

“The Horror, The Horror”

“Atrios, aka Duncan Black, is celebrating his 10th blogoversary with a countdown of America’s Worst Pundits. And he emphasizes just how bad a decade it has been, “a time when this country stopped even bothering to pretend to live up to many of its supposed ideals. We go to war and kill lots of people for no good reason, elites have eliminated any accountability for themselves for criminal wrongdoing, we’ve tortured and assassinated people, and the response to massive economic suffering and related criminal fraud has been to give lots of free money to the people who caused it all.

.

”Whenever people take me to task for being rude, for not treating politicians and their apologists with respect even when they’re talking obvious nonsense, I wonder whether they’ve been asleep this past decade. We have a political movement that lied us into war, not to mention all the other abuses. If this doesn’t call for being tough, what would?”
