I was waiting for the Sonoma Aero Club folks to pull the trigger on their globalist gun, but *shrug* you didn't pull those strings today and reveal what was behind the curtain. I'll try to be patient and keep tuning in. Great humble brag, Nick.
As for Russia and China, they've inferred they still see the US (and AUS & UK) as little more than paper tigers and that if "our leaders" can't even control US, then why fear sanctions (especially when the Bidens and others had their hands in their hands over resource deals). If I were Taiwan, I'd be getting battle ready asap. What say you?
Also, do you think the total abandonment of Afghanistan simply motivated Putin to move up his timeline?
I suspect the reason for the Chernobyl capture is to control whatever dirty nuke material is there. That's been a huge risk for a long time. Adventure tourists have been going there freely and posting their videos on YouTube, so you know terrorists wanting to build dirty bombs can get there too. Obviously it's not a site that can be easily salvaged for power generation, so it must be a tactical objective based on what's there now, and that's dirty nuke material.
Saw a rationale for taking chernobyl is for use as a base. Ukraine or anyone else would be hesitant to shell or bomb it for fear of accidently releasing more radioactive material.
The other reason IMHO that Putin can sneer at sanctions is the corruption rampant in the west. All kinds of scum will come out of the woodwork - or the bureaucracy - to sneak to Russia whatever Russia (ie. Putin) wants for just a bit of cash. Would not be surprised to see Bill and Hillary and BHO at the head of that long line. In any case there is a much longer game being initiated here. The big risk for Putin here is if he goes for more is if NATO invokes Article 5 and all the members honor it.
One last thought. Putin may well be a thug with the mentality of one but I think he may actually imagine himself as Emperor of ALL the Russias and an absolute monarch. Have you ever seen the gilded doors and the two guards(?) who open them for him with their comic opera uniforms and gold enameled caps?
Russian military is not shooting at almost anybody in Ukraine, and there are videos of civilians angrily confronting them. truth or falsehood hard to say but if true then they are not eliminating the population
I think the libs are freaking out now about courage. Influencers have acted for years to equate words with violence, and routine or personal choice actions as bravery. Now CNN IS ON 24-7 blast showing real bravery in courage. Queue crying in fake hormonal tears and “men” experience in pre birth contractions.
Don’t forget this crazy SOB still has nukes and chem weapons. See Russia get stalled in Kiev and Vlad will slime them and drive over the bodies. I just think the POTUS and VPOTUS are unable to Nut Up and do what is nessasary to eliminate. Threat.
Our politicians seem to have forgotten that Putin was career KGB in the USSR. The KGB valued power, and would use any brutality to keep it. An example of the USSR’s distain for life is the fact that they used live ammunition for war games (casualties were an accepted cost of doing business). This is the philosophy that Putin was trained under.

Are you saying Putin would love to be ruler at Gog & Magog?
There are prophecies that paint them in a good light potentially.

Ah yes, very smart of you!
I honestly cannot imagine any other reason for being there.

Unless there really are zombie armies down there
While hearing SWM say Jacked Up was priceless, hearing Nick do voices was hysterical.

Russia views herself as the third Rome. They want it all back.
Does steamed milk come from angry cows? Yes, yes it does.

If the "elites" really think Central Europe is where they will start their utopian state... I got some bad news for them.
Hi. This is my future empire. And I have the guns.
"If you've been around Europeans why would you want to be there."
Hey! I resemble that remark!
Imagine 10G really meant rods from god instead of great highspeed microwave telecommunication. I just shat myself
