    Russia uses its paranoia to excuses it's invasion of it's neighbors. The World stands by and watches because its fears what Russia 'might' do. If Russia would just play nice and not blame everything on everyone else it could be in the top three Countries in the World. Crimea was a test run. Ukraine finally said, " Not in My backyard' ! Communism has a single goal - and it ain't World Peace.
    Sorry about the short sentences it's past my bedtime.

    Americans ignore that the PLA Navy is off both coasts and can toast our major cities. If they're there, so are the Russians. Britain is even closer (but I'd bet they'd fly over the North Pole or just use a hyper-sonic missile). War makes for great reading but it sucks and is a waste of resources.

    Just learned that China is building a major port in Peru that will cut shipping from China to South America down by ten days. They're building infrastructure while we spend our ducats on war (U-Crane and Izzy-land). We should be rebuilding our roads, bridges, railroads and in cases of North Carolina, our communities.

    EKB - you left out the thirty plus American funded bio-labs that use to be on the State Department's website, sex/children trafficking and organ harvesting.

    Neither U-crane nor Israel are the innocent victims the media protrays them as. The former also engaged in sex/child trafficking. In the case of Oct 7 in Israel, that was a green flag operation (they knew in advance, had a seven hour stand down order that let it happen and then exercised their no-hostage Goliath Policy that had the IDF kill hostage takers along with the hostages). Look at that patch some IDF members are wearing. No more Jordan, parts of Libya, Saudi Arabia Sinai and even the Nile are part of the envisioned new Israel. Like any other nation, Israel certainly has the right of self-defense, but they're not the pure/innocent people we think of in the Bible and the Good Book has been changed to promote Christian Zionism (Zionism is different from Jewism and the religious belief). Look up the Schofield Bible which was released in 1909 and its Genesis 12:3. Enough soapbox.

    As usual, that dereliction of duty is another byproduct of the number one weakness inside the U.S. federal government: it’s not illegal to bribe a politician with election campaign donations, or lucrative job offers after leaving office. The White House and Congress are always for sale to the highest bidders, including domestic and foreign agents.

    I don’t see any fundamental difference with the current Israeli government and the Stern Gang.

    EKB - Nor any difference between them and their progenitor, Begin's Irgun. Did you read Kurzman's Genesis 1948 too?

    No shortage of zionists in our own nation. I didn't like Cynthia McKinney but she did say that in her first day in office she got a fax asking her to sign a pledge to support Israel along with a threat to fund her opposition if she sought reelection if she didn't. Most of our politicians have signed that plege.

    Here are the recipients of the UniParty from the non-lobbying lobbying group that doesn't have to register as a foreign agent: https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?cycle=All&ind=Q05&recipdetail=S

    The "hate" speech thing is disturbing as it's a curtailment of the First Amendment's freedom of speech. In Great Britain the police visit people for their posts and haul people off too. Coming to a city near you!

    Did not read that but I know from other sources that Ze’ev Jabotinsky—co-founder of the Irgun terrorist group in British Palestine—was probably the most prolific influencer of the European Zionists. A great admirer of Benito Mussolini, Jabotinsky the unapologetic fascist was allowed to form the Betar naval academy in Italy.

    In 1940 Jabotinsky’s staff included Benzion Netanyahu; father to the current prime minister of Israel. Fast forward to August 2024 and it’s not surprising to see Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials photographed at a ceremony to honor the memory of Ze’ev Jabotinsky.

    As for homegrown Zionists, the government is full of them. Right now I'm watching Mike Huckabee try to upstage Lyndon Johnson as most despicable in that category.

    I cannot attest to the accuracy of this report, but it says the the Koreans are defecting from Russia! If I was North Korean, I'd sign up with intent to defect and get more food than the spartan fare (starvation) from Dear Leader.

    From EKB's link above:

    Kinda like workplace violence where the person is dissatisfied an then commits an act of violence in retaliation. In this case, he stole a jet. Of course, it could be something simple as not being able to divorce his wife for a younger, hotter honey.

    What a great plot for a Hallmark Channel Christmas movie. It's like a song that writes itself!

    Have you checked out how much the defectors from China to Taiwan were awarded?

    I can't even imagine owning the lowest amount, 50 kg of gold. That's over 100 lbs of yaller metal. Makes me wish I was a PLAAF pilot with a neat jet to defect to Taiwan with.

    I don't know anything about him other than he promotes health; but he is tall enough to be a Lurch Lite and he has a diensthund/German Shepard/Belgian Malinois named Roady (sp). My cousin (full bird colonel, USAF, ret.) was on a health panel with him.

    Is your cousin a conspiracy theorist too? Or a debunker?

    Inquiry about the North Koreans. Were they volun-told by their Dear Leader to go fight for Russia? Notwithstanding the mutual self-defense agreement between the two nations, I suspect that Dear Leader's benefit would be food from Russia to Best Korea, reduction of Most Best Korean debt to Russia if any, exchange of technology for X # of troops for Y duration. At least that's how the US does things. Anyone have insights as to the arrangement between Russia and the Hermit Kingdom?

    Knowing the CCP, I'm thinking they want their males away so they can't stir up trouble at home. Right now there are Critical Mass (big American bicycle rallies meant to snarl traffic, promote bicycles and discourage automobiles) bicycle rides in China and the CCP is getting nervous.
