America blinks in the stare down

Biden has reportedly called Putin out of the blue, asked for a ceasefire, offered a summit in Vienna in return

none of this is reported in the Western media, it's quite bizarre how much is censored now

Lolz - it’s completely expected in the Woke Nee World. It’s a nightmare we won’t wake from.

I’m just going to retreat into my own world for as long as it lasts...no sense in fretting about marxists - they’re going to get us in the end no matter what - people love collectivism...they want it and they will have it.

seems like a sign of weakness tho

at first the Biden Administration came out belligerently, making all sort of threats, but taking no action

then the Russians put actual boots on the ground ready for war, and America promptly backed down

first the Chinese slapped the Biden Administration around, now the Russians are doing it too

it's the media party, they are all talk no action, everything is a meme, but it's never backed up in the real world

the Media Party came on strong saying "Putin is killer who must pay a price"

but as soon shit got real, they backed down with their tails between their legs

now they are looking for a face saving way out of the corner they pained themselves into

I don't expect the Russians to stand down immediately

but according to the transcripts of the call, Biden has apparently caved across the board

Biden gave Putin everything Putin was demanding and more

so the Russians will probably start to wind things down and head back to barracks over the next few weeks

escalation domination for the win, Slava Rossiya

that is Millennial definition of NeoCon

all they remember is the Bush Administration, that's what NeoCon means to them

basically means "Bad Republican White Supremacists" now

I remain a staunchly Neoconservative Thatcherite Cold Warrior myself

if Millennials want to call me be Bad Orange Man or whatever, I'll wear it as a badge of honour

that being said, as a Neoconservative I of course have no quarrel with the Russians

because of course the Russians are not the Soviet Union, the Russians are not the Communists

the entire conflict with Russia is a Neoliberal meme cooked up by the media party,

otherwise known as the Russia Hoax

happy to see Putin put these clowns in their place, oorah
