North to Alaska, I expected RE to kick off a reaction to Trump getting hiss ass handed to him by Putin.  But I can't wait forever.

I wonder what goes through the average American mind when I ask if anyone has bothered to ask who the people of Luhansk and Donetsk would like to be governed by. 

I have asked the question so many times I know the answer by heart. 

No doubt the visceral reaction is to consider me a dumfuck.




It is a not so curious fact, it is certainly a disgusting fact, that the less you know about Ukraine the more you want the war to continue.

This video is years old, which considering that American media has rewritten history makes it very timely.






Split it up and let the killing stop.





Another article, and one which shows beyond doubt that those who claim Russia 'invaded' are full of shit.

You think he is okay? Hasn't been around for awhile. Lockdown while the short feller was with the orange feller? I mean, it isn't as though he can have much fun with the other inmates in the facility, maybe he found a staff member he can tell tall tales to and that is keeping him entertained?

I am trying to get in touch with him.  The problem is, he is as hard to get in touch with as I am.

Thought he had passed out his number here a time or two? Or you could just call the facility directly I suppose and pretend to be his family in Missouri  or something.

I am alive.  I'm Binge Watching Game of Thrones.  I'm through 5 seasons  so far.  Politics was so much more fun when the rich and powerful were killing each other all the time.

Good to know you are alive.  I avoided GoThrones but You-Tube inundated me with shorts after I watched just one of them.  Consequently I learned quite a lot about the show on the cheap (not much time spent).

Lots of nasty people in that show.  I see it as VERY addictive gratuitous violence.  Pure entertainment and nothing wrong with that, but that is all it is.

"Politics was so much more fun when the rich and powerful were killing each other all the time."

In the real world there is quite a bit that going on.  Enough so that we are numb to it.

I have to wonder if TV violence led America to think killing your enemies is the way to go.  There is more acceptance of it than there used to be, and somebody is going to get bit in the ass for this new arrogance.  I was one of the many who was glad that Putin did not have an accident on his Alaska visit.  Something that would have been unthinkable even a decade ago.


Somebody said "Thou shall not kill once",  does anybody remember who said that?

Less violent than your average cop show or action hero or war movie, just older weaponry.  Because you only see bombs dropped and explosions the violence seems cleaner.  Many more people end up dead though.

As opposed to most of those shows, this had consistently good acting and writing that fleshed out the chacters and what their motivations and psychology was.  It demonstrates how money and power corrupt people, allowing evil to grow and flourish.   Its also one of the few depictions  I have ever seen of how incestuous the whole system was to createe classes of "highborn" and "lowborn" people.

The magic and fantasy aspects weren't overdone as they usually are in fantasy depictions of the pperiod, and there was a lot of parallels to the evolution of modern religious philosophy.

My main complaint with the show was the final season and how they tied it up at the end.  I found it inconsistent with the rrest of the series and very unsatisfying.  The actions of the characterrs weren't consistent with their prior behavior and it was too facile.  But I guess they were just tired of it and looking to tie up the loose ends.  I could have done it better. 

Anyhow, it gave me a much needed break from modernity and the utter stupidity of today's Game of Thrones.  In one of the nicer tie ups at the end, one of the heroic figures poisons an entire house of one of the nasty families at a feast.  Very satisfying vengeance.

Finally the most important lesson here is that the wisdom "violence never solved anything" is patently false.  The entire history of politics is that the ONLY thing that ever solved anything was violence.

It was actually about 10 days for 8 years of about 13 episodes/year. Also went to the AK State Fair for one of the days, plus watched some other stuff.  Then there's Physical Therapy, Chess, eating, sleeping, excreting, showering, smoking & meditating.  It's a busy schedule.

Why did this response to my question wind up in an entirely different thread?

[RE]

This is the first of Trumpolini's changes I support.  It is a little closer to the truth than  "Department of Defense".  It could have been better though.  I have a few suggestions. How about:

Dept of State Sponsored Violence

Dept of Mass Murder

Dept of Death & Destruction

Mayhem, Violence & Killing Agency


We also need a new flag.

The Mayhem, Violence & Killing Agency <---- You nailed it.

Pray for Karma, can Karma work that way?  I do not think so, but concerning the criminals in charge, Karma needs some help.

The motherfuckers are going to start a war on purpose to hide their other crimes.



US ordered 2nd attack to kill survivors of Caribbean boat strike

The U.S. military carried out a second strike on a suspected drug-carrying vessel in the Caribbean after an initial attack left two survivors hanging onto wreckage, according to multiple reports.

The White House says the murder of unarmed fishermen hanging onto their ruined boat had to be done for self-defense.

The White House (what is left of it) says lots of things.

History Lesson

The Peleus trial of Kapitänleutnant Heinz Eck and four others for the  killing of members of the crew of the Greek steamship Peleus, sunk on  the high seas.

Check out the link before you read on.  You know you want to.

I did not watch it when it aired, but I binged watched it later.  The Sopranos.  An average person in the mini-series might be killed.  But anyone who had cancelled someone else's ticket and was part of the killing machine was sure to die.  The Sopranos is a modern morality play.  If 👹 Deathseth 👹 watched it, the obvious message went ovah his head.  Like Jets.

morality plays were specifically intended to teach moral lessons. They were a type of medieval drama, popular in the 15th and 16th centuries, designed to illustrate the struggle between good and evil in a way that educated the audience about virtuous living and the consequences of sin.

Characters were often allegorical—such as Everyman, who represents all people, or abstract concepts like Virtue, Vice, Knowledge, and Death—rather than individual personalities. The purpose was didactic: to guide the audience toward ethical behavior, religious devotion, and spiritual reflection.

On the Sopranos, if you wacked somebody, you got wacked.  It might not happen until the next season, but it happened.  And at the end when there was the brilliant fade to black that left you asking?  Now you know.  Tony had to go.  And if there were a sequel to the series, that guy in the' Members Only' jacket would have to go too.  Like 2 and 2 is 4.

Trump, Deathseth, and others in the MAGA clown show are 'Members'.  If real life was like the Soprano mini-series, one of them would be mauled to death by a dog.  And they all would have to go.

An article by a total warhawk.

Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea.

Fuck that.  The author is ignorant.

Catherine the Great annexed Crimea in 1783 after a series of military campaigns against the Ottoman Empire, aiming to expand Russian territory and influence in the region. Her journey to Crimea in 1787 was a significant event that showcased her power and the Russian Empire's ambitions.

Russian troops were legally present before 2014, and in 2014 the people voted.  Ukraine is a construct, founded in fascist roots.
