World War III

[Seshmeister]

Any Republican voters in the US wondering what would have happened if this invasion had happened under Trump?

[Kristy]

Jesus fuck, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It was only a matter of time until one of these cocksuckers came along and made this horrible war all about them.



I'm surprised Dave Ghrol hasn't held numerous presses conferences explaining how the war makes him feel.

Meh... I liked the original version of the song better. Not sure why he dropped the Reagan reference. Yeah he's dead, but so was Khrushchev when he made the original version, and he's still in there.

Trump jokes US should 'put the Chinese flag' on F-22 fighter jets and 'bomb the s---' out of Russia

"And then we say, 'China did it,'" Trump said, which, according to an unidentified source cited by CBS News,
elicited laughs in the room. "Then they start fighting with each other, and we sit back and watch."

This 'mainstream media' as a pejorative term is starting to piss me off.

The argument being that because there are some special interests and media owners mainstream media is not always accurate and sometimes partisan. Yup ok fine but part 2 is 'so anything else must be better'?

Fucking no. So instead of professional highly educated journalists with training on multiple sources who are sometimes compromised we'll replace that with some random fuckwit on the internet secondary source BS because it's what we would like to believe and then makes it true?

It's getting like the great quote, there is a word for 'alternative' medicine that has been proved to work - medicine.

The term "mainstream" isn't such a great descriptor... here in the US I was referring to ABC, CBS, NBC... which are just the 3 predominant over-air networks dating back to the days before cable news stations. Every network has professional good journalists. What clouds the water is the personalities and opinion jackasses that have taken over news media. No matter where you turn it's almost impossible to get straight up news reporting without some angle being thrown in...

Sounds like a good movie plot, but not all that workable in reality. "Trolling" two nuclear powers into fighting each other only works if there's zero chance they're going to find out about it... and then team up against you. Cheeto's such an idiot, he probably thinks Russia & China nuking each other would be a good thing. The world might be better off without Pooty or Xi Jing Winnie the Pooh, but making the entire continent of Asia radioactive would be a pretty steep price for that.

Laura Ingraham Calls Ukrainian President's Plea For Peace 'Pathetic'

During a broadcast minutes after Russia began invading Ukraine, Fox News host Laura Ingraham derided Ukraine’s leader for trying earlier to broker peace with the Russian president.

“We had kind of a really pathetic display from the Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, earlier today ... where he in Russian ― he didn’t like to speak Russian ― but in Russian, he was essentially imploring Vladimir Putin not to invade his country,” Ingraham said during a call with former President Donald Trump."

It wouldn’t be just Asia. If Pakistan and India got in a nuclear exchange it would cause a nuclear winter and massive crop failures. The biggest killer from a nuclear exchange is starvation.

The regular episodes are still on Comedy Central. Paramount + just gets the "movie specials".

And of course... if you don't have Comedy Central either, there's always the torrent option.

[twonabomber]

If it isn't on Motor Trend, Prime, or Disney+ I'm not gonna see it. Ditched the dish years ago.

I haven't bothered to torrent anything in over a year. Most I see of anything is in the breakroom at work, and usually that's The Office or Ridiculousness.

When you think the absolute, stunning fucking ineptitude of the Russian military can't get any worse, we have:

"On Monday, following reports of the combat death of Russian General-major Vitaly Gerasimov near Kharkiv, Ukraine, Christo Grozev, the executive director of investigative journalism and intelligence group Bellingcat, reported that Russian forces relaying the news back to their superiors were forced to use an insecure phone line with a local sim card — that was promptly intercepted."

Russian Orthodox Church Leader Blames Invasion on Ukraine's 'Gay Pride'
Thomas Kika


A major religious leader in Russia has come out in support of the invasion of Ukraine and laid the blame on the support of gay rights.

Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, during a Sunday sermon called Russia's "military operation" in Ukraine a conflict over "which side of God humanity will be on" between Russia and Western countries that embrace more progressive values. In particular, he called attention to Ukraine's support of gay rights and the presence of gay pride parades, The Moscow Times reported.

"Pride parades are designed to demonstrate that sin is one variation of human behavior," Kirill said during the sermon. "That's why in order to join the club of those countries, you have to have a gay pride parade."

The church leader characterized pride parades as "loyalty tests," and said that countries looking to ally with Western powers must embrace them or be shunned. Further, he claimed that the breakaway regions of Ukraine at the heart of the current conflict, collectively known as Donbas, have "fundamentally rejected" such values.


"For eight years there have been attempts to destroy what exists in Donbas," Kirill continued, referencing the start of Kyiv's conflict with separatist regions in 2014.

"And in Donbas there is a rejection, a fundamental rejection of the so-called values that are offered today by those who claim world power. We know that if people or countries reject these demands, they are not part of that world, they become strangers to it."

Ultimately, Kirill called the invasion of Ukraine a conflict about things "far more important than politics," and insinuated that the embrace of progressive western values would lead to the end of civilization. As noted by The Moscow Times, the Russian Orthodox Church has in the past been criticized for seeming to keep in step with the values and goals of the Kremlin during President Vladimir Putin's time in power.

"If humanity accepts that sin is not a violation of God's law, if humanity accepts that sin is a variation of human behavior, then human civilization will end there," he said.

In contrast to the stance by the Russian Orthodox Church, Pope Francis, leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has explicitly condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a war.

"In Ukraine, rivers of blood and tears are flowing," the Pope said on Sunday while addressing followers in St. Peter's Square. "This is not just a military operation but a war which sows death, destruction and misery."

Francis also referred to Ukraine as a "martyred country" and urged other nations to offer humanitarian aid to its people.

Newsweek reached out to ILGA-Europe, an LGBT rights group, for comment.

It's up there with the firing nukes at hurricanes or drinking bleach. Does he imagine that 21st century fighter pilots are like Snoopy on his doghouse leaning over looking to see the flag on the side of the enemy plane?

These things kill each other from miles away while travelling at 1000mph with AI computers identifying targets based on databases of radar and heat signatures and all sorts.

Not to mention how the fuck a nuclear war between China and Russia would be a good thing for the world.

Well if you had a bunker with a few years of food or nuclear power to run grow lights you could come out and be king of the world. Kind of like Noah’s Ark or Dr. Strangelove. Maybe Trump has a bunker and a harem in the Southern Hemisphere somewhere.
