Neil Oliver delivers his remarks this weekend expressing genuine sympathy for the people in Ukraine yet distrusting the constant bombardment by those demanding we pay attention to it.
We watch Russia, but after all our own leaders have shown us in the past two-years, amid their COVID authorized lusts for power, it is a wide-open and wary eye our leaders are trying to move. WATCH:
A wounded water buffalo was spotted trying to give birth on the dangerous Serengeti Plain, CNN International reports if Russia had not annexed Crimea, it wouldn’t have happened. Early tomorrow morning, a man in Wisconsin will miss his bus, because the battery in his alarm clock ran out; if only Putin had not disrupted the global supply chain these issues would not be happening.
The drawbridge near Baton Rouge Louisiana was stuck yesterday – MSNBC angrily confirms Putin caused it. In New York, a once joyful fifth grade teacher’s chalk broke in half right when she was about to use it on the blackboard; Margaret Brennan points the glare at Ukraine.
If the stock market climbs, or falls, or stays the same, we can be certain that Moscow had something to do with it.
When the planes arrive/depart typically late, CBS finds a way to make NATO responsible for it – if the sanctions had only come sooner.
When the sun rises today, it will only be because President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spent all night on his knees knitting sweaters for homeless kittens while fending off Russian special forces and making phone calls to the European commission. George Stephanopoulos has all the details.
Everything is Vladimir Putin’s fault, says the PBS reporter standing at the base of the Statue of Liberty to catch her tears, because it was all just so avoidable.
And… somewhere in the distance Jacinda Ardern, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, Boris Johnson and Ron Klain are on a zoom call smiling with Klaus Schwab.
LOL
But very sad.
Team USA supports taking a knee for the national anthem and then is surprised when we burn all our team clothing and smash the coffee mugs.
we might be inclined to find a better team. One that knows how to win.
By total medal count this year America was #5, by gold count #4.
Norway was far and away #1 in both.
What ? Where? China? Who watched? Who cares?
Unfortunately for them- the only people that believe them are stupid Americans that vote in Demonic Pedo Democrats.
We have no gauge because elections are stolen. The same people who believe Antifa was just an idea have the same views on freedom and love of country.
They pretend to hold elections and we pretend to vote.
What do you mean “we”?
I did not pretend to vote. I voted very carefully and deliberately. I expected my vote and the vote of every other properly registered U.S. voter with a pulse – to be properly counted.
However, TPTB definitely only pretended to count the votes.
No, there are PLENTY of stupid Americans, who regularly vote in Demonic Pedo Republicons.
Plenty of stupidity and finger pointing to go around.
… let’s lighten up on the American-bashing … I have found that even left-of-center people can be reasoned with … it has to be face-to-face … not over “social media” where they hide behind their keyboard … face-to-face they can look me in the eye to see I’m dead serious and hear the conviction in my voice as I speak truth to their misconceptions.
That is the hard way to win them, it is all we have. We cannot afford to dismiss 40% of the population. No easy days for our side.
‘…people who can be reasoned with…’ and then at the start of the Russian aggression, one of them wants to reason with you about climate change focus, acknowledging to your face and then vote democrat again.
Right off the bat you label yourself by talking about “Russian aggression” and not Russian response to provocation by NATO. Learn history and educate yourself. Please.
What NATO provocation are you referring to, goldduggar?
Imagine Russia moving troops and weapons into Mexico. Then Russia and its Allies giving the Mexican Army Billions of Rubles , training and Russian made weapons.
So? Do you know what’s easier to imagine? Russia moving troops into Cuba, including nuclear missiles and building airfields with extra long runways for Blackjack strategic bombers.
Then Russia trains the Cubans and gives them all manner of weaponry and billions of rubles.
So tell me, do you think that Ukraine does not have the right as a free sovereign nation to sign treaties and join whichever alliances they feel are best for Ukraine?
It seems to me that you don’t think that Ukraine should have the right.
Do you not understand that NATO has done the same thing in NATO member countries that border Russia – installed missiles and offensive weaponry?
Putin asked that Russia be permitted to join the NATO alliance; he was flat out refused. He then asked that Ukraine NOT be permitted to join NATO. They thumbed their noses in his face and indicated their intentions to bring Ukraine into NATO.
Putin is no moron. He can see the cards stacking up against his nation. He was deliberately forced into this. He never was one to take a knee to the corrupt criminals who think they can run the world from the WEF/ UN.
I am no Putin apologist. But it doesn’t require much education to understand his response to the West’s calculated actions designed to force him into an undeserved corner…decades AFTER the former communist Soviet Union was disbanded.
“Do you not understand that NATO has done the same thing in NATO member countries that border Russia – installed missiles and offensive weaponry?”
I understand that Russia brutalized these countries, murdering millions of their people, and now they want to join an alliance that will aid in their defense against Russia.
I also understand that as sovereign countries they have the right to choose what treaties and alliances they will join.
Does Putin deserve to be in a corner? Yes. Is he in a corner? No.
Canada, the next largest national landmass is only about 1/3 the size of Russia.
Putin has been the Dictator ruling Russia since 1998, about 23 years. He has robbed and raped his own people, used artillery and Air Fuel Explosives against civilian cities in neighboring nations, and kill his own people with bombs. He invaded Ukraine in 2014 with unmarked troops in violation of the Geneva Convention and assassinated a Russian opposition leader in broad daylight right outside the Kremlin in 2015 when that leader warned the Russian people that Putin had invaded Ukraine and was using mobile crematoriums to turn Russian KIAs into ashes instead of honoring the soldiers for their service with respectable state burials.
Nobody should wonder that the nations surrounding Russia, once brutalized by Russia for most of the 20th century, want to join the European Union and NATO for their own prosperity and safety.
I have friends that go to Russia every year to attend and cover Rally Car racing. And I have Russian friends as well. The media is your enemy pal.
CUT THE CORD.
Actually a great idea!
Agreed and the time seems right for deprogramming. They have been indoctrinated/brainwashed so to help them learn to see the strings on the marionette is the best thing we can do for our country.
If ever there was a wake up call , this was it :
Holy crap.
Wow!!!! Just Wow!
I had a suspicion the evil ones had been planning some sort of take over the whole of humanity or close to it.
So it would make sense to try to neutralize/eliminate/terminate anybody who would throw a wrench in their plans/schemes.
May the Lord have mercy on all of us and protect the innocent children.
That video is from Nov. 18, 2009! Would be interesting to find Joseph Moshe in Israel and ask him some questions?
Aug 13, 2009..our house fire was the next day..my mom was killed.
It had to have been earlier than that, I found an article written in April 2009 about the incident
https://sites.google.com/site/oregonherbalistarchive/micro/flu-vaccine/ukraine-double-in-two-days
That article is dated Friday, Aug 21, 2009. Where did you see April?
The video says Westwood Standoff August 13, 2009 on the screen right at the beginning. Where did you get Nov 18?
Off the original YouTube video. It’s just the date that particular video was posted on YouTube.
Nov 2009. I’m missing something here.
All we have endured was preplanned. Remember there are/were 15 DoD funded bio(weapon) labs in Ukraine. I’m sure the monsters who rule this world have more deadly plans in the works.
More on this story.

“How to Get Along With Narrative Believers – NARRATIVE SCRIPTS”…. by funny guy J.P., but true…reposted on Dr. Robert Malone’s site
I agree with you on all points until your comments about homeschooling.
It certainly depends on the character of the parents, no doubt, but this is my 2nd year homeschooling my 12 yr old daughter, 13 yr old nephew, and 5 yr old daughter (and my 3 yr old tags along for preschool activities.) It is absolutely doable, because one does not need 8 hours per day for each child. It is about quality, not quantity.
Conversely, however, the school room can take place all day as we go about our day.
When any of my students need help, its a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio. If they need more time, they can have it, if they move faster, they can. For example, my daughter is doing 8th grade math despite technically being in 7th grade.
For my daughter, she really needed help with writing after coming from public school. In a year’s time it is markedly better!
I took over homeschooling my 11 year old 2 years ago when Blackface Northam shut down Virginia schools.
I do have a college degree in English but Math is a tough one for me. However, I can muddle through to basic algebra. I love history, science, civics and geography and as long as he can read and comprehend, which he does, I can teach those subjects.
I would not enroll him in any public or private school ever again. At this point, for me, it constitutes child abuse.
If he needs math tutors for the next 4 years, who cares? Anybody who truly wants the best for her or his child can homeschool with or without a degree.
100%. Good for you.
Most of the public school day is about shuffling students from here to there.
My grandchildren are home schooled and I’m very impressed with how smart, intuitive, great comprehension, and conversational they all are. I take my turn when they visit the farm. They get hands on experience on a number of topics. (I taught at the University level and come from a family of Educators, so I know of which I speak). My grandad used to say, “if you learn to read, you can learn anything” and he is correct.
If you think of Math in day to day terms, it’s a lot easier (I took advanced statistics at the doctoral level and I can tell you much of it isn’t that useful unless you want a career in crunching numbers.). Public education, in general, has ruined math. I was helping one of my grandsons with his math homework during the early months of the shutdown. The curriculum is so ridiculous. One math problem used the example of calculating a pregnant mother’s hormone levels. Seriously????? Why would a teenage boy even want to think about his pregnant mother’s hormone levels? No, that’s not useful, and he shuts down. It’s distracting and irrelevant. They’ve woven their woke agenda even into math.
Anyway, keep up the good work mom. To all professional teachers, I get it. But, tuning kids into iPads and Computer screens is not good for the kids. Kids don’t learn that way – that’s a fact. They learn using all their senses and being active. Just sayin’.
Your grandpa was right-“if you can read you can learn anything”
My youngest has learning disabilities, most notably reading. I decided she was going to have a miserable high school experience due to the reading requirements, so I home schooled her for 9th grade and we read for a few hours every day. We read books at her actual reading level (versus her grade level) every other period. She read until she was tired and I continued for a page or two while she rested her brain. By the end of the year, she was able to read The Clan of the Cave Bear. Over the summer, she tested at her grade level in reading for the first time since she started school.
We didn’t get any home school credit for that year, so she’s having to take a couple of online classes to catch up, but that was what she needed at that point to get through high school (probably would’ve been better if we had done it around 3rd grade).
Extreme focus on one area where remediation is needed would never be possible in traditional school. Bringing her home that year was a great decision and she’s been doing great in traditional school since.
The stats on how many kids we are graduating from public high schools who can’t read or write is staggering. Our public schools are often doing more harm than good.
How repulsive – as if the students give a flip about her wedding pictures. But isn’t it all about ME? This, and much worse, is what we have degenerated to now.
Did the wedding pictures show a heterosexual couple? These days the Alphabet people proudly display their perversions.
Flova – great job! Your son has all the prerequisites to develop robust critical thinking skills.
Good work, Flova!!
I understand your words: “Math is a tough one for me. However, I can muddle through to basic algebra,” and I want you to know about AlgebraVictory, which will be launched later this year, initially to homeschoolers. It will be the best online algebra course in the world, BY FAR. I have talked with hundreds of homeschool parents, and they are ready to enroll once we launch. Kids are excided about AlgebraVictory.
We are currently raising Round-1 funds. If funding comes from or via Treeper, we will donate 1% to support Sundance. We can also do a finder fee agreement if a Treeper connects us to Round-2 funding.
I have been called “the best math teacher in America.” My lifelong mission is teach algebra and geometry to the entire world, and do it RIGHT. These subjects are vitally important for three reasons. The first is obvious: they are crucial for STEM careers. Second, they teach kids to think logically, critically and FOR THEMSELVES, which is CRUCIAL for Liberty… even if a person never solves another equation in their life, the intellectual pathways they will develop in AlgebraVictory will get used in other subjects, including business and politics… they will not be easily deluded by propaganda! Third, God is in the math, and the way I teach it, many kids can FEEL the divine presence in the math, and they love it! Taught my way, math beautifully enhances religion. (I was raised an atheist, but when majoring in math at UCLA, I started experiencing God in the math, which launched my spiritual journey.)
Our website gives an in-depth analysis of the Math Education Crisis and how, over the past 50 years, the Education Establishment has wasted billions of dollars trying to resolve it, yet only made it much worse. It also explains how and why AlgebraVictory will finally resolve it.

Thank you, Joan! Greatly appreciated!

All of the reasons you have described is best summarized in the transformation/collapse of civilized society without Judeo-Christian beliefs.
That’s because without Christian belief, there is no reason to forego any behavior of any kind. Without God’s law, there is no reason to counter anything the godless left puts out.
Down.
Remember The Closing of the American Mind by Allan Bloom? A good guy and a good book…
As a retired teacher, I have to agree with you.
The issue of School Choice is coming along, though.
Oklahoma just passed School Choice! The funny thing is that my daughter’s private school has yet to disclose what they want to charge for the 2022/23 year. Hmmm… What would you like to bet that the tuition will be about the same as it was this year –plus the amount that each student will receive from the state? It should be interesting.
My children who are now in late 20s went to a charter school that required an essay as to why they wanted to go to that school. Significantly better than the public school. Still a far cry from homeschooling.
My daughter who is a grade school science teacher…real science, not THE Science… in Texas has to complete a module which ensures she is able to teach children how to read. It is intense, high pressure, and mandated by law. Every teacher, no matter his or her subject, must complete it. This, on top of preparing her lessons, teaching, and being a mother of 4 grade schoolers herself with a home to run. The pressure has been enormous and has taken its toll. She has never stinted on giving all she has to either her family (triplets plus one) or her profession, which she pours her heart and soul into.
I was gobsmacked when she told me that in order to keep teaching her subject, she had to complete it. She started teaching her own children to read when they reached the age of 3, so that by the time they reached school, they were ahead of many in their classes. And in doing so, she instilled them a love of reading. I have many pictures of the four of them sitting on a couch in their pajamas (no television), noses buried in their books. They are doing well in school.
I feel desperately sorry for children who start their school years not knowing even the rudimentaries of reading, a disadvantage which impedes all their learning. There seem to be thousands of such children. Over the years both here and in the UK were I lived, standards have been degraded to accommodate those students who weren’t taught early on, so that now the high bar is that spelling and grammar doesn’t matter, as long as we can understand what was meant. All for the lack of an early ability to read. This is a generational disaster.
When a law has to be passed so that teachers bear the responsibility for picking up the terrible slack which their students’ parents have allowed to happen? Well, there’s not a whole lot of anything else which is going to be taught…or learned. And that disadvantages every child.
”… standards have been degraded to accommodate those students who weren’t taught early on…”
yes , ‘common core’ is what the libtards wanted, and it looks like they are succeeding.
Plus those teachers who do not regard teaching as an avocation, but as a means to push hideous ideologies. Much as doctors today are no longer healers, but drug pushers.
I watch unionized teachers and wonder what it is they have to teach? When I see them, I think “poor little children”.
Schools in largely black neighborhoods have many teachers who speak in dialects inner city kids understand. The kids are not taught standard American English and standardized tests are modified to the dialects they speak (because it would be racist to put them at a disadvantage to kids of other races who learn standard American English).
So we accommodate “them” in inner city schools so they can spend their entire lives and careers at a disadvantage. No matter how smart they may be, they will be judged as less educated their whole lives for speaking a dialect.
People who grow up in different areas, such as the Deep South, regardless of skin color, also have to overcome the assumption that speaking a different dialect means they’re less smart or educated.
Our public schools should be teaching all kids the version of English they would need to blend in seamlessly in commerce, academia, etc. Any “accommodation” that does not prepare them to compete in the real world is either for the benefit of the school (who may have trouble finding qualified teachers) or is just plain racism-saying you’re doing something to “help” them while knowing the outcome is to keep them in a perpetual underclass.
the idea is to keep them on the Democrat plantation as Democrat voters. PDJT’s & MAGA’s reaching out to them and pulling many in, threw the Democrat Bolsheviks into a panic, and thus the new increased hate campaign by them, BLM, riots, hate crime promotions etc etc
Career Deep South educator here I grew up in in the south too- different region. I, and many other Southerners need some context for your comments. You need to check your thinking on Carpetbagger thinking about over coming dialects and people thinking ignorance is somehow embedded in a Southern dialect. I have news for you , ALL Southerners understand each other. I suspect you are new to the South and don’t understand yet. Bless your heart ( more clearly stated as: your ignorance is showing and you need to stop) I just bet you are having a hard time acclimating.
Happily transplanted Yankee here. I still drop my Rs at times (New Englander) but love living here in the Carolinas, have been putting my roots down deep in the red clay and sandy loam for about 30 years. I don’t advocate losing dialects, my coworkers are a joy to listen to and a source of common sense, but learning to speak, read and write proper English should be a minimum in any education, anywhere in the USA.
By all means, let’s keep the accent and dialect in all areas of the country.
Good morning. Kudos to your daughter, as they are trying to degrade our “education” system. I agree wholeheartedly on the reading, I remember starting a book and not putting it down until it was finished, missing out on dinners and such. There was an author who was way ahead of his time named Alexander Key, who wrote some great children’s/teenager books, usually dealing with animals.
His books spawned the Witch Mtn movies, and the cult classic animation series Future Boy Conan. You may want to check them out for your grandchildren. Cheers and ty for this post. This is about communist “Equality” where the children are taught at the slowest pace because on Animal Pharm all animals are equal, with equal abilities, except for the Pigs who know whats best for the rest
Good morning and thank you, my friend.
Funny you should mention animals…and I certainly will pass that information on. My daughter funded from her own pocket and with grants she obtained equipment to house various wildlife, mostly lizards, including a bearded dragon (named Toothless, which she takes home on weekends so he “won’t be lonely”… he sleeps on top of the kids tucked up nice and warm). She has kitted out these homes with exactly what they’d be able to thrive in in the wild. Her students can observe daily and are thrilled to do so. What an experience.
A story I’ve posted before…one student, said his mother, woke up one day yelling, ” It’s Science Day!!” They are encouraged outside of class to observe and bring in anything they find which might be of interest. You wouldn’t believe the incredible things they’ve found and shared.
She has made sure her pupils have left her class with a love of nature and with it an excitement to learn. If they carry that enthusiasm with them as they progress, it will be worth what she has poured into them. She adores each child who has passed through her classroom. Cheers and blessings, Colkitto.
Your daughter reminds me of a teacher I had as a kid. Me & my friends used to bring her fish in buckets for her pond at home that we caught. Kids are gold, and introducing nature and wildlife at an early age can make children see the beautiful flora & fauna that is all around us that most people miss.
The following link is a true story by Ernest Seton Thompson, which had a huge impact on noted naturalist David Attenborough and sparked a Disney movie. You will love it, though the ending is sad. The author gave up hunting after this.

Oh thank you, C. I’m not sure I can watch a sad ending movie at the moment, though I will certainly file the author and title for a time when I’m less likely to burst into tears, given what’s going on as I am at the moment. It is lovely of you to pass on these links, and I truly appreciate your doing so. B
It’s a quick read. It’s an incredible story. Just save it and read it when you get a chance. It’s one of the reasons why I am a Vitalist.
All the best to you my friend.
The Power of the Dog
There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie—
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart for a dog to tear.
When the fourteen years which Nature permits
Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,
And the vet’s unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers or loaded guns,
Then you will find—it’s your own affair—
But… you’ve given your heart to a dog to tear.
When the body that lived at your single will,
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!).
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone—wherever it goes—for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.
We’ve sorrow enough in the natural way,
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent per cent.
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we’ve kept ’em, the more do we grieve:
For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short-time loan is as bad as a long—
So why in—Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?
Rudyard Kipling – 1865-1936
I know this one very well and I’m so glad you posted it. It is a heartbreaking one. One of his best I’ve always thought. And the question? None of us can answer. But we do for the brief loving joy we receive from those most wonderful of God’s creations. Bless you, Colkitto. You have a big heart.
And yes…I will save it😊
I love Kipling, don’t recall reading this before.
I have an elderly dog with Cushing’s, and her time is running short. This poem brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
Check out James Oliver Curwood for animal stories that may or may not have “sad” endings. This author had a conservation bent not that common when he was writing his stories, 100 years ago. I loved his Kazan and Baree books, and they hold up well for adult reads as well.
That has been one of the greatest joys of parenting…to teach my children to read and then how to learn from what they read.
It’s true. A very great joy, and one that is a wonderful thing to observe and be a part of. If not us, one on one, how can we shove them in a class of who knows how many taught by whom using a progressive method (not phonetics)? No…best at home, I think.
My other daughter has 16 year old twin lads. When they were about 4, one of them, when in the car, started out of the blue reading the billboards and business signs out loud as we passed. While they were learning to read at this time, our mouths were agape as one after another he pronounced them to perfection. To this day we cannot understand how he was doing it. Starting the lessons early obviously had an effect.
And yes. The learning part has proceeded apace. Especially the critical thinking part.
I’ve seen game show contestants lose because they didn’t know how to pronounce a word they’d obviously not seen before.
Phonics Rules.
Agree with most of your post. Many of our school’s teachers got their degree under the MAT program which earns a masters degree in one year. I totally disapprove of this program. It is putting unprepared teachers in classroom at top pay.
Daughter in law is homeschooling 12 year old grand and doing excellent job by the way.
I’m a retired Special Ed teacher..I had an under grad BS in Ed, got my Masters at U. of Pittsburgh..it was a 42 credit program that was completed in 12 months and included 28 weeks of full time student teaching..3 placements..classes were taken on Mondays from 8am to 8pm and Wed nights..it was intense, a good program that was later altered to lessen the stress..I weighed 90 pounds when I graduated. A few years before I retired they made us renew our certification and become “highly qualified” to teach math, science, history and English.. I was issued a new certificate that permitted me to teach sp ed English, Science and History..I didn’t have enough credits for the math. I was no longer “qualified” to teach any pre academic or elementary sp ed students. My last year I was teaching 10th grade Physics in a learning support classroom filled with high school students that were reading at a 3rd grade level. It was impossible..I retired.
What a shame…for your students as well as for you. Bone crushingly demoralizing.
U of Pitt. Dear to my heart. Sorry to hear this happened to you. I’ve lost out on numerous jobs where I was more qualified but was the wrong gender or race. There is a Mencken quote that sums up my feelings and knowledge very well. This is not the country that my forefathers fought for (and some died for in combat)
No it is not. How far have we fallen. To the bottom yet? Educationally, I think so.
When I entered first grade the teacher had just been moved from 8th grade to 1st, at her own request. She told my parents that her 8th grade students couldn’t read, so she decided to help by grounding younger children in HOW TO READ. I struggled, struggled, struggled to learn to read, wanted to stay home from school because I just wasn’t “getting it”. And then, one day, it made sense, and I started reading everything. Almost 60 years later I’m still reading voraciously.
Thank you, Miss Pain (yes, that was her name).
Ditto, here in kanukistan!
I been around the home schooled for decades, some home schooling groups work really great and are committed, others struggle the same with all things in life.
However, in my estimation public school is no longer and option.
Teachers are teaching trash not academics
they are certified but not qualified.
The majority of Home school graduates are light years ahead of public school graduates.
But I’m sure there’ll be plenty who disagree
And the beats goes on…
Resources for home schoolers are abundant. You can choose so many different curricula now, mix and match, co-op with other parents who are strong in one subject (math is usually the one where parents need help). I have used online courses and YouTube videos to re-teach a math concept to myself. There are also private teachers available through Kumon, Mathnasium, etc. Most cities of any size have “a la cart” schools where your child can go for only one or two classes their parent doesn’t feel competent to teach.
For someone like you, who has been involved in formal education for decades, you may be tempted to think that’s what needs to be recreated at home. The fact that most of us parents who matriculated from traditional schools can’t remember the definition of momentum or the formula for a cylinder to teach our own children is proof that the learning methods are not necessarily better.
Homeschooled kids are not (in my limited experience) passive recipients of information as they’re required to be in a classroom with 30 kids. They have to be more active participants in finding the answers, which is, itself, an important life skill.
All that said, I do have a personal bias against parents who do not have a firm grasp of their native language and grammar rules who homeschool. Language is the base of all the other teaching. IMHO, reinforcing incorrect language all day as a homeschool parent is a disservice to your kiddos. I don’t think that can be farmed out or corrected later. That said, my kids have definitely brought home papers from traditional school teachers (including English teachers) with some glaring grammatical mistakes.
The Americans who are stupid have been groomed to be stupid and non-thinking by the government school propaganda they have been subjected to. The brighter children are simply immune to the brainwashing.
So very well said, sat0422.
To your first component about dumbing down: lowering standards produces widespread mediocrity.
To your second component: not only is there no direction, but without a sense of right and wrong there are no boundaries.
To your third component: while most of us here were living productive lives of good, observing the Rules of Law, and contributing in a positive manner to the economy, we were simultaneously being snookered by our own government. While we complied with the rules of the civil society we grew up in, believed in, loved, and sometimes took for granted, our elected leaders (and many of our religious leaders) chose to be led into temptation. And here we are. I fear for where we are going, but I fervently pray nonetheless.
All of the Liberal’s ills can be attributed to “Climate Change formerly called Globull Warming” President Donald J Trump, Republicans, and Russia. These four are the current liberal idiot’s answer for their misery.
Goodaye Colkitto, everything said by Neil Oliver but a lot more comprehensive can be noted by a documentary called , New World Order – communism by backdoor.
The directors name is Dennis Wise.
2013 – approximately.
Great historical accounts of how and who developed the situation we are all in.
I have vetted the above and find it exceptionly accurate.
Cheers.
Hey mate, ty for the heads up. I added an assist to you yesterday. Hope you guys are doing ok down there.
I gotta hit the road. Slainte friend
“I have vetted the above and find it exceptionly accurate.”
That is great! I am going to start adding that to the bottom of my posts for added credibility. It will be like “Trust the science.”
You might find my credibility vastly more accurate if you commented on my reference.
Just for you, Dennis Wise is one hell of a respected modern Christian historian.
Saying to me “trust the science” I construe to be an insult.
Please confirm !
Mungrel~~
Link to that documentary?
It can be found on bitchute. I can’t vouch for it because I haven’t watched it. It is over 5 hours long.
I take his response in a humorous way.
I found your post to have humorous content.
I have vetted the above and found it impeccably accurate!
When I go to a hotel, the maid normally leaves her signature on the toilet with a strip of paper letting me know it has been sanitized. When it comes time to live stream, the strip of paper is just in the way.
If anyone inquiries about the splatter, just tell them you went upwind.

Don’t leave out White Supremacy
You are correct sir. Affirmative Action implemented by white supremacists to stop white supremacy (whatever that means). Its like we are living Orwell’s 1984 (which is their playbook. It should be read and reread by everyone)
The following video from Germany busts some fake video footage put out by the tabloid Bild. The clips used are from 2014 and 2015, and have nothing to do with the current war. Someone peddled them deliberately as disinformation.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=rair2/gpdvrgzb&jwsource=cl
Many of the pics are the same ones being sent around by the MSM, i.e. the so called power plant et al. Bild is interchangeable with MSM, HuffPo, et al
We know the media did that with Syria years ago.
Catturd is using all kinds of old footage and satirically saying it is breaking coverage from Ukraine. Funniest is an artistic rendition of Titanic sinking.
TDS, Liberal Hivemind, Mass Formation Psychosis. These phenomena will be studied by Psychology Students long after democrats and leftism are dead and gone.
And hopefully that is soon

2nd Amendment. Guns up. Go to cash. Move to Texas. Hope for the best.
Mr. Oliver has an amazing gift for taking complex subjects, overwhelming truths, historical references, and unbearable feelings, and weaving them all together into a relatively short monologue that rings true beyond all imagination. At the same time, I find it mystifying that some of these great minds who write books, articles, and blogs, and who record videos don’t get together to carve a path forward. At this point, it seems, we are documenting our demise with words full of wisdom, insight, and incisive observations, but words that always stops short of what to do.
“documenting our demise” 100%
I don’t think they are smiling. They may be crapping in their clothes.
Russell Brand recorded a monologue a day or two ago that was worthwhile. Like Sundance, Oliver, and surely many others, he highlights the fact that all sources of info must be viewed with a skeptical eye, while also pointing out that the West has lost all moral authority to have a say so with respect to Ukraine and Russia.

A bunch of immoral despots–
My little twitter account of less than 800 followers was permanently suspended tonight for retweeting a Christina Pushaw tweet.
I am sure Putin ordered it.
This piece is quote long and complex, but it’s the kind of deep dive thinking that Sundance frequently engages in and I think many Treepers will appreciate.

Anarchism.
There is a widespread belief system among leftists that after everything collapses, everything dies, paradise will arise from the ashes.
This madness is what is driving Antifa and BLM.
Hollywood millionaire leftist Jews pay the bail of the anti-semites from BLM because they believe passionately in anarchism.
Marxism and socialism utterly died in Cuba and Venezuela. And leftists abandoned Christ long ago. Humans without God are utterly lost.
Conventional church-going Americans are unable to grasp what I am saying now. Leftists are a new form of neo-savages unlike anything that has gone before. Their nihilist belief in nothing is precisely what they believe. Ask them to define precisely what they believe and watch their heads explode. The mud men of New Guinea are far more balanced in reality, some reality.
Nuclear war is not required to bring on the chaos that is coming. Only the abandonment of God, and the tacit acceptance of leftist reality.
Defund the police. Build back better. The great reset. The great reset. Something will emerge from the chaos that is coming, but it will not be better. It will not be good.
Could not be said better than your first sentence.
Before assigning equal blame to the US and to Russia over the Ukraine war, the following needs to be remembered. In 1956, the Russian troops then in Hungary were not able to deal with the Hungarian revolution. On November 3, they invited a Hungarian military delegation led by the minister of defense to the Russian military command to negotiate the technical details of the withdrawal of Russian troops from Hungary. In the midst of the negotiations, General Ivan Serov of the KGB arrested the whole Hungarian delegation, including the Hungarian minister of defense. The next day, the Russians attacked Budapest with massive forces that invaded the country. The prime minister and some of his colleagues found refuge in the Yugoslav embassy. Some time later, the Hungarian puppet government installed by the Russians offered them free passage to Yugoslavia. Soon after the members of the former Hungarian government left the Yugoslav embassy, they were arrested by the Russian military. A couple of years later, both the former prime minister and the defense minister were hanged. So much for Zelensky trying to negotiate with the Russians.
Those old Soviet Socialists some 65 years ago were indeed tricky & brutal. But this is the 21st Century and it is highly unlikely that Russians today will do anything like that. They will all be at the negotiation table soon redrawing Ukraine’s southeastern border.
If they did hang Zelenski,, exactly WHO would do anything about it?
What, Brandon with more sanctions, but NOT their oil revenues, of coarse!
Lol, with absolutely no humor. Hanging Zelenski does NOT trigger article 5.
No downside for Putin, if he did, is all I’m sayin’.
There is zero chance that would ever happen. When Putin defanged the globalist oligarchs who were raping Russia to the point that the average age of death for men dropped to 55 (women dropped too, just not as much), he had every moral right before judgement by God to hang them and their evil minions by the thousands for the hideous crimes they had committed against the Russian people. But he did not. Prison, expropriation, and de facto expulsion were the tools of choice.
Putin and the rest of modern Russian leadership are well aware of past communist crimes. (FAR more than modern American leadership.) They know that while it is easy to start killing, it is very hard to stop it again, and reestablish systems whereby intra-elite differences are settled without murder. When the communists started murdering in earnest in the early Soviet Union, senior communist leadership (decision makers rather than merely managerial decision implementers) was OVERWHELMINGLY not ethnic Russian. When it stopped, it was predominantly ethic Russian. It took them decades to get it under control.
44 million Ukranians?
Putin and his clique are traditional Soviets and will behave true to form.
So very true, sfdebre.

Friend, those where Soviet’s, not Russians. Big difference
You can take the boy out of the KGB, can you take the KGB out of the boy? Think you are right but willing to believe it is also a generational perspective.
The Soviets were always Russia. The only difference was that in those days Russia had enslaved the surrounding nations and used those whole nations as human shields.

Orwell’s Animal Farm [updated] : “Whenever anything went wrong it became usual to attribute it to
SnowballBad Vlad. If a window was broken or a drain was blocked up, someone was certain to say thatSnowballBad Vlad had come in the night and done it, and when the key of the store-shed was lost, the whole farm was convinced thatSnowballBad Vlaad had thrown it down the well. Curiously enough, they went on believing this even after the mislaid key was found under a sack of meal.”With regard to Trudeau’s maniacal seizure of personal bank account and assets … let me say that is akin to murder by the cruel and unusual means of starvation. Because basic economics in our modern society … personal economics … is basic survival. We no longer gather or hunt in the bush to sustain our lives, but we work and get paid. When The State takes that basic right away … they are both starving the targeted citizen to death, and burning their houses.
ohhh it may be easy and detached from the REAL horror they are creating … the pressing of a button, or a single emailed ORDER to the banks … but it is a HORROR as vivid as the torching of an apartment block … and laughing as the fleeing homeless refugees beg for food on the streets. Yes, Trudeau and especially Freeland are MONSTERS … they would happily subject HALF the population of their country to the same fate faced by 6-million Jews by The Third Reich. Yes, there is NO difference. The Trudeau State took everything the Truckers and their supporters owned, and started to starve them to death. The only difference is that Trudeau would have happily done this to 10’s of millions who didn’t kowtow to his Authoritarianism. Yes … 10’s, if not 100’s of millions of living, breathing people who disagreed with his Fascist edicts. Trudeau would have starved them all to death. Because taking money and livelihoods is murder. State sanctioned murder. Canada needs a new PM … and a modern Nuremberg Trial. The EVIL perpetrators of this HORROR should be hanged by their necks until dead. Lest 10 million suffer that fate. You know … the same fate the legacy media is hoping Putin suffers.
Trudeau is a little Putin, less powerful and less cunning, but with similar aspirations for absolute power.
Everything that Trudoe did to the Truckers, and to the Protesters, was felt, personally by every supporter of the Truckers.
When that woman was trampled by a horse, WE felt trampled by a horse.
When he called them a small group of malcontents, rascist, mysogininst, nazis, we all felt that directed at US, as well.
When he manuevered the siezing of GFM $, WE felt it, PERSONALLY. WE were outraged, and so donated to GSG, at twice the rate.
And, by his actions he made it personal to all of us, when he threatened to freeze bank accounts.
I donated to GSG, and for a week monitored my acct in the U.S., wondering if it would be frozen.
HIS actions actually built the movement, it didn’t MATTER that they were Canadian Truckers, and Canadian protesters, WE were all there, right on the front lines, berating the Police in their riot gear.
We should send him a thank you card, he did everything just right, to insure our movement would grow, and would grow a pair.
He pulled us off the sidelines, 10’s of millions, not just in Canada, but around the World.
Lots of videos interviewing Ukranians, who are lining up to be armed. Almost to a person, they say they knew of what eas going on in Eastern Ukraine, but had little interest in joining the fighting.
They were just focused on living their lives, working, going to school.
But, when the bullets start flying, and the bombs falling, when they realise they could lose everything,…THEN they are eager to fight.
What Justin did, was fire the bullets, and drop the bombs on all of us.
Do uou really think all the protesters in Canada, the supporters who lined the overpasses and truck stops, and all the truckers are just going to put their heads down, after nearly getting them chopped off?
THEY have already answered; they are continueing with protests.
And, as THEY are US, we can not just go back to work, school, etc. Those supporting the Truckers, and the Truckers, DESPITE all that JT did, are saying by their actions ;
“NO, do your DAMNDIST, WE will NOT be intimidated!”

That man sounds like he is a native American-English speaker, not someone whose first language is eastern European. I would want to know a whole lot more about him before I would believe what he is saying.
For 20 years, the West, in particular the USA, has completely ignored the gathering threat of Vladimir Putin’s Russia, just as the gathering threat if Hitler’s Germany was ignored in the 1930s. Now, as then, we are facing the predictable consequences of our foolish negligence.
I argue that what we REALLY ignored was the gathering threat of the USA Deep State which grew so powerful it was able to launch a 5-year long coup against our POTUS … then create a weaponized virus and hyper-exaggerated pandemic … then steal an election via both analog and high tech means.
And you would win that argument, Kenji. No doubt about it.
There is nothing that the Russian Nation has done that the USA hasn’t done, but on a grander scale.
Fear of Russia.
As a child my school had a bomb shelter and along with fire drills we had regular bomb drills. Taught to fear An attack by Russia. As I aged, MY country attacked North Korea. Vietnam. Grenada. Military and government involvement in Central America, where MY government imported crack cocaine to South Central LA and fueled a crack cocaine epidemic across America, invaded Iraq, invaded Aghanistan, and guarded the poppy fields while an unprecedented heroin epidemic destroyed millions of American lives, killed Syrians and others in the Middle East.
Meanwhile……..EVERY decade of my life………….FEAR Russia!
Watching the persecution and prosecution of an excellent President and truly good man awakened me to a reality that has shaken me to the core. It is not Russia I fear anymore.
They blamed Russia for the Kennedy assasination.
What shook me was GW Bush’s silence in the face of insults by Obama but then siding with the Left when Trump was doing everything he could to save the country. His father’s “New World Order” took on new meaning for me. Previously, I thought that the fall (so-called) of the U.S.S.R. was the New World Order, the end of the cold war and the triumph of capitalism and freedom. Silly me.
I used to think talk of the Bilderbergs, Davos attendees, the CFR heads was just the whisperings of fringe folk. Now I realize that fabulously wealthy people actually do gather to plan the demise of most of us tiresome folk who clutter up their Earth.
Whether the Chinese leaders are part of that Elite, I don’t know, but they have their own plans for inheriting our rich land for their overpopulated ethnic Han countrymen. They are well on their way in buying up our farmland and food processing corporations. A few more viruses and we’ll be out of their way.
George W. Bush undermining President Trump really woke me up.
You have a lot of company, Lindy….
I would say I fear our own government’s corrupt schemes and manipulations as much as I fear Russia. Sad fact.
Maybe more. Our government is closer – like right in our backyards.
The enemy first and last is China!
Russia is the grouse on the side that will slip in and kick you in the nuts, but it will be China that bends over and slides a blade under the ribs while we roll around on the ground you holding our balls.
The scariest part is how very many prefer the barred windows, and are rapidly making sure we will not be able to remove them.

Did he mention the CIA under Obama’s watch criminally overthrow the Ukrainian Gov in 2014?
Is that why he feels sorry for the Ukrainian people today?
8 years of poking the Russian bear and killing their own citizens in the east because they are ethnically Russian and now the whole world driven on by the cabal fake media feels sorry for Ukraine.
How easily fooled people are.
Neo Nazi paramilitaries have been parading openly in Ukraine for years, the Ukraine Gov and the western Govs and fake media never seemed to be concerned about this, the Canadian Gov even sat down for talks with the Azov Battalion who have openly declared themselves to be Nazi’s.
Canada is fine with this.
If we had not initially intervened, creating an even more corrupt Ukraine as evidenced by employment given to Biden’s and Kerry’s sons, etc. If we had not be able to watch the video of Joe Biden blackmailing the Ukrainian government to fire its chief prosecutor. If we had not encouraged Ukraine to disregard the Minsk Agreement. If we had not goaded Russia with MATO creeping toward its borders. If we had not…etc., etc., etc., then things would have been different. Sadly, you won’t hear MSM give any of the above reasons. Nor will they talk about US bio labs in Ukraine, either. Of course it will be easy to ensure that the American public does not understand the US/West’s responsibility here. After all, MSM and the government have pushed the Russia Russia Russia situation for the decades now. For those of us waking up and actually following, it is truly a red pill to see the culpability of the US and its allies, as well as entertain the idea that Russia and Putin may actually have the moral high ground here.
It may be of interest of readers here to actually listen to Putin’s Empire of Lies speech (before the internet scrubs it): https://thealterofdeceit.net/2022/02/25/vladimir-putin-empire-of-lies-speech-full-february-24-2022/

TheDuran had an excellent show last night, and on it was a man who was stuck in Kiev, and unable to get back to his home in another area of Ukraine. Ukraine was under curfew last night, however, the man also advised that the Russians had apparently gone out of their way to ensure that the city had electricity, running water, sewage, etc., and even the internet, rather than adopting the American was of conflict, which was to go in, bomb everything and then rebuild later. The situation in Kiev may have changed since last night, but I suggest that any information you get should be thoroughly researched, rather than believed at face value.
I so needed to hear this especially after listening to George Carlin tell us about a red white and blue dik up our asses and how God isn’t watching , the timing of Neil Oliver s message was eye opening to me , I was actually losing hope in my America , I wasn’t seeing the whole picture and I was becoming bitter by taking the easy way out with willful blindness, some how I have to translate this to my children and friends .
Sundance, I know the NY Times, Wash Post, and CNN all take their scripts from the CIA, State Dept, and FBI (can’t remember what order). Who is Fox taking their script from. My gosh they are going all in. It is embarrassing to see. Although, I am not surprised. It almost seems like they are personally invested. Is that Paul Ryan? Maybe some dealings in Ukraine too. Did he take over McStain’s portfolio?
Yeah, an old person got a bloody nose somewhere, and I hear a puppy died. It’s all part of Putin’s mean plan. Wow, they’ve actually made Putin look worse than Trump. Imagine that.
I am wondering how they treat China if they decide to take over Taiwan. Haha. Yep, like to see their narrative on that one. Somehow they’ll have to portray their master China in a good light. Be fun to watch the contortions and backflips. Of course China will just conquer Taiwan like they did us without firing a shot. Buy off all the corrupt “leaders,” and then just bully them across the capitulation line with threats to their bank accounts. Oh, and buy the Taiwan “news” media to tell the Taiwan people that it’s best for them. Shouldn’t take but a month to create a narrative and program everyone.
The almost psychotic fever of the Ukraine / Russia narrative borders on wokeness. I am not psychologist, but something is going on here. Imagine Ukraine as the new George Floyd, and Putin as Derek Chauvin. Or Ukraine as Trayvon Martin, and Putin as Zimmerman.
Seems like FOX serves the Republican establishment NEOCONs and their Pentagon warmonger cronies (hence all the Generals they’ve usually had on staff).
Fox News is unwatchable. They are treating Ukraine as though they were already in NATO. Treating Ukraine as America’s best friend. Hunter Biden’s best friend? John F. Kerry’s best friend? Maybe? But America’s best friend? Hardly. Fox has become a Ukraine propaganda, nay … a Bidinh crime family propaganda outlet.
Great article on Ukraine by someone who knows the recent history. Here are four excerpts:
https://amgreatness.com/2022/02/25/russian-roulette-in-ukraine/
After the Soviets starved most Ukrainians to death, they moved ethnic Russians in to maintain control. It is similar to what England did to Ireland resulting in the conflict in Northern Ireland, barely contained to the present day.
Untimely deaths diminish us all
Events in Ukraine are true to form. From the coup by Obama/Brennan/Soros to the deliberate provocation of Putin by OBiden.
https://nexttobagend.blogspot.com/2022/02/whodunnit.html
Reading Pyott Wrangel’s Always with Honor. Agree with Twain that history rhymes vice repeats. Roles reverse.
I see Putin’s Russia in similar position to original Russia. I see Ukraine as nothing but a corrupt proxy for the new Bolshevik communist movement, which is now called globalism — same thing. And their “reset” is no different from the main tool of the communist. Burn down society, collapse the economy, destroy the middle class, and install the new dictatorship – revolution.
It’s funny how people want to look at situations like this. As if there is a perfect good guy and bad guy. As if it’s black and white. If our news media, state dept, biden, trudeau, macron, et al, are aligned against Russia going in to Ukraine, then I have to ask why. Yes, they do need to fan the flames of emotion and fear just like they did wuhan (covid) in order to control the people, but they REALLY seem impassioned to the point of desperation.
As usual, Neil hits mail on head…

Indeed – “well, welcome to the thunder dome” says Neil Oliver. The WEF control agents watch the chaos they create over afternoon cocktails and canapes, safely from their media rooms via drone cameras. We’ve seen it depicted in popular media years ago in “Hunger Games”. Sundance rightly takes it to those control agents: “And… somewhere in the distance Jacinda Ardern, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, Boris Johnson and Ron Klain are on a zoom call smiling with Klaus Schwab.” Until those control agents are *unable* to watch safely from their media rooms, you can be certain the chaos will continue.
And… somewhere in the distance Joe Biden is receiving instructions very slowly, simply, and deliberately from Barack 0bama who received them from George Soros who coordinated them on a zoom call with a grinning from ear to ear Klaus Schwab who thinks this is all just so groovy man.
I stopped watching and reading ‘news’ – it seems to ALL be propaganda now. The ‘snake island’ fakery may be some of the worst propaganda pushed by MSM (in particular ‘fair and balanced’ FN) I’ve never seen anything like this ever before.
And off in the distance we hear the faint sound of TAPS playing in the background as Ralphie tries on the pink bunny outfit…
“…we have stood there fiddling while Rome burns…” He’s exactly right. Visited the American Civil War museum at the Tredegar Iron works in Richmond recently. Humbling for my children and I, but important for young ones to understand why we don’t celebrate playing “shoot em up”. I love our country of America but I’m a follower of Jesus first. Nations will not stand in the way of Him. Judgment is coming. Run to Jesus if you’re not already there. Isaiah 55:6 “Seek the Lord while he may be found.”
Putin Puts Russian Nuclear Deterrence Forces on High Alert Over Aggressive Statements by NATO

I have found that UK news is better to learn about news in the US regarding uS actions.
I also noticed that Reddit is really pushing the #WeAreUkraine on the kids.
Everything the mods are allowing is pushing the US State Department view down the throats of the Reddit audience.
I wish I saw George Carlin “question everything” attitudes there.
It is predictably disappointing and saddening for the vast, uncritically-thinking mass of humanity that now makes up so much of our society, that in the complete maelstrom of media misinformation, disinformation, ‘analysis’, and ‘opinion’ pumped out like so much raw, untreated intellectual sewage over this — and every other major world event — the actual words of the major actors and participants themselves are often completely and intentionally ignored.
The Fake Story shouts down and supplants the actual words of the main actors themselves.
The entire foundation, history, basis and motivation for what the Russians are now doing was stated in great depth, by Vladimir Putin himself, last week. You need not believe it, but it constitutes a snapshot of his thinking, that of a primary actor.
You would never know it buried under the mountain of images of fake cardboard rifles and photos from years ago masquerading as ‘breaking news’. The news is indeed quite broken.
Whether you believe him or not, Putin frames this action as one against a corrupted Ukrainian government that has been taken over by hostile Western interests. And not one against the Ukrainian people, which he describes as “spiritual” kin to Russians, and the long-abused victims of such interference.
It may also explain the now measured and surgical approach to spare Kiev’s people, which the globalist media deceptively spins as “Ukrainian resistance” and “Russian difficulty”. Russia has the capability to wipe Kiev off the face of the Earth.
It is worth reading, if only to hear what the leader of a global nuclear superpower who just ordered the invasion of a neighbor has to say about it. I have seen the translation no where else.

This all could have been avoided if NATO would have said no to Ukraine.
She is a democrat and she really makes sense. Perhaps she is more independent and intelligent than the average bear.
Getting Ukraine into NATO was always a counterproductive 0bama pipe dream. That said, Tulsi (D-HI) has carried water for 0bama, so want to like her but am suspicious.
WWII could have been avoided if we had surrendered to Japan. Major Gabbard is a twit.
She’s correct.
Yes, and achieved is the fact IGNORANCE will really rule the day. I know so many who are stunned stupid, when you lay out the facts to them, and that is that this is the third major war O’Butthole has started now!
You mean our state owned and controlled media is lying to us? No! Like Russia! Trump!, and Covid!, and the Canadian truckers are nazis, and “build back better,” and…. well, yeah. They are lying again.

Childish left. Their usual — blowing smoke, not serious, treating Russia with nanny-state BS & their constant virtue signaling grandstanding in a vain hope to “media defeat” Russia, with their cancel culture methods.
It really is quite ridiculous and the CIA psychiatrists, by seeding the war events into the minds of our Western citizens this way, really are displaying their own weird psychosis. The psychiatrists need a psychiatrist? But who knows, maybe they have done a study of somebody else’s study?
The Yale-Harvard Axis of Evil, must be surgically removed from our leadership class.
I don’t think the Millennial women at the Hair Salon I go to have given a second’s thought as to where the extensions for their hair or eyelashes come from. I wonder what would happen if the knew?

I wonder if anyone thinks about much of anything at all.
I wonder if anyone realized that (disclaimer – I was NOT there I do not KNOW,KNOW) a damn was blown up by Russia that was built to DEPRIVE THE Dobass, Russian Speaking region of Ukraine from fresh water flowing downstream.
There are so many small things that we have no zero nada earthly ideas about. Ukraine is sabotaging it’s own infrastructure – this from the Guy from Texas that decided that Communism is better than Fascism and despises Nazi’s with every fiber of his being and has been in Donbass for 8 years fighting with he Russian Separatists.
He believes Puppets have been set up, Nazis have been put in charge and his mission in life is to dispose of them.
