Ukraine Always Get What You Want

Hearts on fire
Strong desire
Rages deep within
Hearts on fire
Fever's risin', high
The moment of truth draws near

 

BTE gonna have to get the garage cleaned out fast.

 

We don't have to worry about anyone coming unless USCIS returns from its year-long lunch break. We're so desperate we have our Republican Congressman on the case now. And his constituent representative working with us is a Slavic woman. Maybe that's a good sign.

 

LOL.

 

Who would replace Putin? Where would he/she come from? (Honest questions. I just don't know, and am wondering how/why everyone seems to just know that the next leader would only be worse, and would not possibly be better, or, at least, different enough not to want to be at war seemingly just because...).

 

The "next guy" would likely be quickly replaced by another guy (you don't want to be the guy who follows "the guy.....' I'm guessing military, until they find someone acceptable. Putin is pushing 70 in any event. Fairly certain he doesn't have a designated "no. 2."

 

If he were in Congress, he’d just now be in line to chair a committee for the next decade.

 

Russia Begins Orchestrating Staged Voting in Occupied Territories

The United States for several months has been sending private communications to Moscow warning Russia’s leadership of the grave consequences that would follow the use of a nuclear weapon, according to U.S. officials, who said the messages underscore what President Biden and his aides have articulated publicly.

 

The first thing to remember is that any leader the U.S. describes as "better" will be worse for Russia. Always. Just look at the only two Russian leaders the U.S. liked --- one destroyed the USSR; the other destroyed Russia. Any Russian leader who puts Russia's interests first is guaranteed to come into conflict with the U.S.

 

In a March 1991 referendum asking the following question --- "Do you consider it necessary to preserve the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as a renewed federation of equal sovereign republics, in which the rights and freedoms of a person of any nationality will be fully guaranteed?" --- 77.8% of the people voted "Yes."

The people wanted it to continue. The leaders let them down. And the U.S. celebrated wildly --- and continued spiking the football for the next decade.
