In #Russia, Kremlin’s propaganda released a short animation showing a Russian nuclear strike on the #US, with devastation of American cities including San Francisco and New York City.
Kremlin’s wet dreams about the world they want to live in.
Hospital Killers

reports that UKR air defenses downed 3 Russian 9K720 Iskander ballistic missiles on the evening of 4 NOV. These weapons were targeting civilian areas of the UKR cities of Dnipropetrovsk and Poltava.
Radar can plot where a ballistic missile will land if it is not shot down
Lots of Russian wet dreams tonight. Maybe Putin did not succeed this time, but next time he might. Vatniks are proud that Putin is so tough he would target a hospital!
The true signal that something is wrong will be when a report is launched that says 'democracy is perfect all over the world and everyone is happy about everything stop asking questions'. Or alternatively no report is written. Also some people on this site have a ridiculous obsession with the russian issue. This is an article about something only vaguely tied to Russia. Kepp your focus people. Not everything is about eastern Europe a relatively small part of the planet.
ReplyDeleteI can see Democracy being trouble. It is called the Iron law of Oligarchy.
ReplyDeleteThe US is in serious trouble. Very serious. As Rush Limbaugh said the Democrats are done with elections. They do not want to be bothered anymore. Do they have the power? They ensconced a dementia patient in the Oval Office. So apparently they do have the power.
What happens in an iron fist oligarchy? Look at Russia. They use mobiks, convicts, spetsnaz, VDV and others as mine clearance, meat shields and cannon fodder.
Russian had a democrat born in 1991 and it was on life support by about 1999. Putin has since killed it.
The Russian army is recruiting women. What of Putins's daughters? they could be snipers. they are 35 and 36 and in good health. But that is not the way it works in an oligarchy.
If they do enlist, Putin will keep them in some HQ unit far, far from the front. It did not work for Mao's son. USAF Bomber strike took out a HQ and he died.

ReplyDeleteI am not a crackpot.
ReplyDeleteBut 9:50, you are a crackpot.
RUSH LIMBAUGH WARNED US
In October 2020, just months prior to his death, Rush Limbaugh warned us that Democrats were done with elections. He said they no longer “believe they should have to persuade anybody to agree with them. … [T]here’s no question that they resent the electoral process.”
What was happening at the time Limbaugh made these remarks? Well, rather than aiming to win voters’ hearts and minds, then-candidate Joe Biden’s handlers were trying desperately to limit his public exposure lest Americans see they were about to elect a man who was in the early stages of dementia.
We have proof of Rush's comments. We have the incredibly shrinking president. He decays before out very eyes.
Too bad you lost. Bad day at the office for you, but the boss is going to be happy.
So, What Stage Of Dementia Is Biden At Today?
ReplyDeleteLast summer WNU posted that Biden was at stage 5.
But 9:50 says I am a crack pot. Whatever, it 's been establish that 9:60 is a verbal kidney puncher and a lightweight.
