"For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong"; attributed to H. L. Mencken

Maybe. But FOX announcers seem pretty dramatic. The whole right wing media circus focuses on drama. I will give you that blaming every single weather event on CO2 is getting tiresome.

It really is too bad that over the past several years our politicians have become weak and neutered. If only we had the strong leadership in the likes of Donald Rumsfeld and President Cheney, this war would probably be wrapping up. Or at the very least we would have nukes raining down on major US cities like (well) rain. We tried to reduce the population with Covid, but those pesky doctors and scientists came up with a vaccine way to early. It seems our only hope is an outright and open war. Something needs to be done to reduce the population of the planet, don't you think? If that doesn't happen and Putin just decides to claim victory and leave, should he just get on an aircraft carrier with a banner stating "Mission Accomplished"?

Operation Torch[edit] Main article: Operation Torch American troops on board a landing craft going in to land at Oran. November 1942. The United States entered the war in the west with Operation Torch on 8 November 1942, after their Soviet allies had pushed for a second front against the Germans. General Dwight Eisenhower commanded the assault on North Africa, and Major General George Patton struck at Casablanca. Interesting! If the UK, Canada, Australia, French, etc. and (by Jerry's standards) the USA's declarations of war were ineffective because of no immediate effect, one has to wonder what happened to the Nazis. Perhaps the Soviets took care of the problem entirely on their own?

Military buildup around Ukraine started around March 2021. So this indicates Putin had already decided, or at least seriously considering an invasion a full year ago. This means that he's probably plotted what he'll do next year.

I am truly amazed that there are republicans out there who so worship Trump that they would support Russia over Ukraine (and over the US) - simply because they were told to do so. It started out as something as a joke, with Trump being the usual joke. Then Pompeo. Then Carlson. Then Green, Gosar and Fuentes. And now Brent. Sort of a study in the power of the cult of personality.
