Someone is looking to separate us. All are warned.



Faking a shot of Steven Seagal in Ukraine? And that's what Rogan shared? I don't understand that. What would be the point? Who cares where that plus-sized weirdo is?

Maybe we should have pushed for more severe sanctions when Putin took Crimea. This is the exact same thing that happened in 1938. Hitler took the Sudatenland, and the west appeased him by accepting assurances that he had no further military ambitions. Then a year later he takes the rest of Czechoslovakia, then Poland. This is history repeating itself. This is why we're supposed to study history.
Poland (September 1939) was the last straw. It was war. For the US it was Pearl Harbor (December 1941).

Not sure how to interpret this - does it mean it's their only means of getting news? I hope not. Either way it's surprising to me.

A quarter of US adults say they always use TikTok to get the news, with nearly half of US millennial and Gen Z adults – under-41s and under-25s respectively – indicating the same, according to analysis firm Forrester Research.

Too late, Fucker. You are permanently pro Putin. He even admitted on air he sided with Vlad
Tucker Carlson Admits He Was 'Wrong' About Russian Invasion of Ukraine, Bizarrely Blames Kamala Harris (msn.com)
So what I took away from that is Tucker's fallback plan is racism and misogyny.
(My paraphrasing)
"We didn't take this seriously because Kamala Harris went to Europe and she's really more qualified to date Montel Williams"

Fuck that asshole. There's a special place in hell for him.

Its just an insight into how little actual substance Rogan provides (even giving him credit that he knew it was fake) and where his priorities lie, but being made fun of for it no doubt it'll just further his martyr complex though. Fatso SS shares a lot of similarities with Rogan, so don't be surprised if he follows similar career trajectory.

The US was in WWII long before Pearl Harbor.

Worse is that these are just the losses to combat. Whenever you deploy a lot of air power like this there are basically always a ton of crashes due to mistakes, equipment failures, etc. It is a fair bet that they're loosing a lot of aircraft we'll never see go down.
Wonder how long they can sustain that loss rate before their operational air arm is annihilated? They probably have what, 200 operational Frontline aircraft? Keep that rate up and assume similar losses to maintenance/ accidents or planes that made it home but not recoverable and they're out of action in at most 3 months? Probably more like 1?

December 1941

During World War II, the United States began to provide significant military supplies and other assistance to the Allies in September 1940, even though the United States did not enter the war until December 1941.

... which was in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Gotta think at this point that Russians suspect something might be going wrong with their special military operation.
The smart ones, especially those who have access to western media certainly do know what's been happening. Unfortunately, there is a large swatch of uneducated MAGA equivalents in Russia that rely on state media for the news, and unfortunately, just like MAGAs those Russians will not budge, they will continue supporting Putin until their dying breath.

Even they know if only unconsciously that it's going very very badly.
