If Putin would order the assassination of Justin Trudeau, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Best to delete this. Awful thing to say even as a joke.

The liberal of today. Real nazis with guns - no problem. A comment on a blog - huge problem.

Tomas Pueyo, lockdown thinkfluencer, issues edict on the Ukraine

Another liberal?

The western borg is not a place. It’s a state of mind. As it expands across the world, it aims to rob other places of their placehood too, and assimilate them to the same shallow diffuse global consumerist project. The western borg likes to conceive of itself as post-national and post-political. Its values, in its own conception, exist on a higher plane, like religious or philosophical truths. They are about “freedom” and “democracy” and “peace” and “human rights.” Yet people in the West do not have much voice in government, they are not free, the western borg instigates wars across the world, and western assimilated governments do not care about anybody’s rights.

Russia's has taken the gloves off guys

The big news of the day is that the Russian forces finally decided to, shall we say, change pace, and by all account the intensity of the artillery, aerial bombing and missile barrage which hit the Ukie forces in the town of Avdeevka was absolutely unprecedented and following this barrage the LDNR forces broke through 8 kilometers of just about the most heavily defended sectors in the entire theater or operations. The Ukrainian 95th Airmobile Brigade (one of the most combat capable unit of the Ukrainian Army!) was defending this sector. According to reports, this entire brigade was basically wiped out.

Holy shit !

Fierce destruction by Russian Forces on Ukrainian Military fortifications in Kharkov — 1.5h ago


https://gab.com/ASBMilitary


Shock and awe in Kharkov as well.


The comedian will be signing on the dotted line before the week is out now the gloves are off.

Footsoldier said...

What kind of weapon is that ?

Absolutely brutal.


Must be one of those mobile Russian multiple missle launchers ?

Footsoldier said...

" We’re hearing that the destruction in Kharkov is “Syria level”


No bloody wonder with weapons like that. It was like a sc-fi movie.


The big toys are well and truly out of their box.


This war will not last long now.

You called for the murder of the prime minister of Canada. How? Anonymously. Where? On a blog that has not your name but someone else's name on it.

Censorship? I dunno, and maybe I am wrong, but I don't think Mike, or any other serious person for that matter, would be ok with crazies posting on his blog for the murder of people.

You crossed the line there. But what do you care? It's not your blog with your NAME on it, right?

PS: Mike and I probably disagree on the war in Ukraine. That's it. I respect his opinion and leave it at that.


lastgreek said...

Who said that?

Peter Pan said...

I'm not asking you to like my sense of humor. It's not against the law to make jokes about Putin assassinating Trudeau, or Biden assassinating Putin.

If it's open season on Russians, it's open season on everyone. It's been open season on Yemenis for years, and not one peep about it in the mainstream. Suffice to say I'm tired of Western pretensions of moral superiority.

Now this is Mike's blog, and he can do what he wants with it.

lastgreek said...

You're humourless if you thought that shit was funny.

Not open season on the Russians. Open season on the Russian invasion. See the difference?

Now, who is on your assassination list today? Anyone we know? And don't post it anonymously. Bet you don't have the balls to do it. Nah, you don't.

Peter Pan said...

People have been fired for being Russian. Cats have been banned for being blue Russian. RT taken off the air, vodka removed from stores, and doctors in Germany refusing to treat Russians. It is open season.

Tom Hickey said...

It is open season.

Cancel culture being taken to its logical conclusion even though it is irrational.

Trump and "Trumpery yesterday. Russian and everything Russian today. What and who tomorrow.

This is liberalism? Really?

Matt Franko said...

Tom they tie Russia to Trump via the whole Russia hoax which a US Attorney has an active criminal investigation into and has already bagged 3 deep state douchebags…

Dems have to keep demonizing Russia as a method of criminal defense.,,

Putin fucked up …

Peter Pan said...

And you have Americans calling for the arrest of Tulsi Gabbard and Tucker Carson. How dare they speak out. How DARE they!

Private citizens demanding an end to free speech.
Private citizens demanding people be arrested for wrong speak.
Private citizens will soon demand internment camps for Russians.

I have a problem with private citizens acting like the Gestapo.
