Listen, I don’t doubt sex parties happen in DC. That tracks. I doubt anyone invited little Maddie. Full disclosure, I’m his constituent who voted for Cawthorne in 2020. I will not do so again.

I didn’t know there were problems with Cawthorne. Details?

Madison says dumb things. Especially about the military. Now, if I were going to talk about the military, I would a) know what I was talking about, or b) hire someone who does know about that particular topic.

He is the quintessential “VetBro” we were talking about the other day- except he was rejected from Annapolis

You don't have to believe in the magic numbers for them to believe in the magic numbers, and it certainly seems like they believe in the magic numbers.

You know Nick's made a really good point when I pause the podcast so I can stop what I'm doing and get ready to take notes for a comment/mini-rant... Gotta bottle that lightning before it gets away.

So a friend posted a picture that supposedly shows a dead Ukrainian laying next to a bicycle yet no damage to the bicycle or damage to the person...yet it's a war crime.

ABC showed that picture last night on the national news and claimed he was shot by the main gun of an armored vehicle. Not near enough visible damage to the body for that.

The media has been lying or leaving out things for a long time, they stopped being creditable I want to say really in 1990s.

The news is claiming that it is only the Russians that are executing prisoners. Shockingly there is no mention of atrocities committed by Ukrainian forces.

History tells us that rape and the terrorization of civilians is an integral part of Russian military doctrine. They use it to force capitulation at the local government. Their actions are well documented throughout WW2 all the way up to their 15 year conflict in Chechnya.

Is the Ukraine manipulating the West? Sure. Are each side full of bad guys? Yup. Doesn’t mean that the Russians aren’t committing war crimes. That’s their MO

Agree. There are no angels here.

It would be more accurate to say that the West is using the Ukraine to manipulate the West. I sincerely doubt that corrupt vassal state of the GAE has much in the way of agency.

Great episode.

Medusa needs to make fun of Nick more. Just anticipate Chaos Actual's self-deprecating humor and make the joke he's gonna make about himself before he makes it.

As far as truthiness goes: that isn't happening in the West until we accomplish a thorough circulation of the elites. Like Putin said, the West is the Empire of Lies. The establishment's power is built on a giant tower of lies. Essentially everything the average westerner believes is a lie, and an obvious one at that. To start telling the truth about anything would endanger the entire edifice, and the ruling class understands that quite well, meaning they will never stop lying. Instead, the lies will become more outrageous, and the NPCs will become increasingly psychotic, until the entire rotten structure crumbles under its own sagging weight. In the meantime, the suck will just get worse.
