@jbnw I don’t think the concept of DMZ in Ukraine is particularly useful without an appropriate political context. I don’t think would in and of itself even work as a military matter. I have reservations on the treatment of Kherson, Odessa, and the southwestern corner of Ukraine as envisioned in the article. I don’t have the insight that others…[Read more]

@jbnw.

It’s also worth noting that the military have some experience of war..they know what it is.Joe,like Trump before him and Bill and  George before that,is a draft dodger.

I figured Putin and  Biden were going to be the ones chatting about Ukraine.

IMO it was the U.S. that caused the catastrophe or at the very least were the major instigators of Ukraine’s current disaster.

That’s why I figured those two as the major players in any negotiations.

I further think that the U.S. should take the lead in honest…[Read more]

In the class action lawsuit you joined, the allegation was that people who had contributed to Bernie’s campaign or to the DNC had been defrauded because the DNC made false representations about the nomination process. Contrary to the misinterpretations of the Bernie-bashers, the judge did not find that the allegations were false. C…[Read more]

Like our good friend and oracle @jbnw said, “Impeachment is back on the table.”

@jbnw I thought after the Vietnam War, that people would learn the lesson. How nieve of me!

@jbnw I forgot to add my usual comments about Yoon, and his defense minister. They’re incompetent fools. They’re kissing up to Biden will do them no good whatever.

Joel Wit has a interview over at the conservative English language Korea Herald, which in so many words saying Biden doesn’t know what he’s doing with North Korea. North Korea…[Read more]

@jbnw Check out this Jimmy Dore video. Have you heard anything about this?

@jbnw

You allude to a reason that Russia shouldn’t trust Ukraine.

Should Ukraine trust Russia?

The Budapest Memorandum didn’t say that Russia would respect Ukraine’s borders as long as what happened within those borders met with Russia’s approval.  Neither that condition nor any other was placed on Russia’s abiding by the agreement.

I return…[Read more]

@jbnw

You write, “Let’s start with the Minsk accords, which were first agreed to in 2014.”  How about instead we start with the Budapest Memorandum (link ), which was agreed to in 1994.  Ukraine was in possession of nuclear weapons, placed there by the Soviet government.  Ukraine lacked the control codes, and I don’t know how difficult it woul…[Read more]

Nothing in Ukraine happens w/o Putin knowing about it.

It was turnip. Nvwino got it above. Thanks for playing!

@jbnw,

I think the governorship of Oregon is going to become a Republican pickup.

This would mark the first time for the GOP to win this office since 1982.

Prior to U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 report, which includes population changes, Oregon is allocated with 5 congressional districts. Following the report, Oregon moves up to 6. The Democrats cu…[Read more]

I don’t expect everyone to agree with my decision to cast a symbolic peace vote by voting for the supposedly anti war J.D.Vance.I’m not sure I agree with it myself!

@jbnw,

I understand your decision.

@jbnw  So, this is why I am trying to be transparent in calling out whoever is likely to follow this thread.

We can only know so much, and what we DO know is that someone paid up for a year. If that someone was LoE, she may have understood what the bill was, OR some lawyer during probate procedures designated certain bills for domaine name to be…[Read more]

Money is speech, it’s been held by the Supreme Court, and therefore, if you are like most people struggling to survive in America, then you are getting quieter and quieter as inflation squeezes you for everything you’ve got. Making it easier for Democrats like AOC to compromise their integrity, take the money, and vote how they are told to vote…[Read more]
