Applauding the dictator Zelensky was not enough, so they wheeled in the SS veteran!

Excellent and exactly right. And, we are a long way from that. Despite the last 20 months I’m not even sure we are at the Dunkirk point in the timeline, certainly not at the Pearl Harbor point, which will be when China enters the war militarily. I don’t believe history repeats and WW3 has a big hybrid war component, seems it will be longer than four years to get to that peace deal, but hopefully with a lot less than 50 million dead.

Mere coincidence? Trudeau is a fraud and has no agency just like Zelensky, he is what his handlers make him out to be, that’s all there is to it. Let’s see, last week, Johnson and Von Der Leyen told us the Allies included Germany and Japan against the Russian Axis who bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Canadian Parliament gave a standing ovation to a 98y/o Waffen SS Nazi for… not much except being a Nazi. And, Trudeau does a Hitler imitation. Oh, to be a fly on the wall watching Trudeau and his handlers rehearsing that! Posted by: LightYearsFromHome | Sep 24 2023 22:53 utc | 245 Visitor @ 11

Ursula von der Lying lived under the name Rose Ladson in the late 1970s while studying in the UK. At the time, there was a risk that she, like many other young people from rich families in Germany, would be kidnapped by the Baader-Meinhof gang and held hostage so she had to leave Germany for her own safety under a different name. Why she chose Ladson as her surname, when the Ladsons were synonymous with the Confederate plantation elites, I do not know – one might have assumed she would have chosen her alias a bit more carefully to avoid potential embarrassment.

It’s not up to Russia and/or China, it’s up to the USA how it joins the multipolar world, whether it loses gracefully or has to be crushed into surrender. Pretty much the pattern of all wars, except for the hybrid part where China and Russia are doing everything possible setting conditions for the USA to lose gracefully and not lay vast waste all around.

But I think they are reality because fact is that Russian forces haven’t made much real progress, especially in the Donbass area. Russian military is not sufficiently supporting the forces in Donbass with weapons and other supplies.
