Meanwhile in Ukraine

[Smitty-48]

If you look at the sanctions against Russia and the SWIFT stuff, none of it includes the energy sector. They are still taking the oil and gas from Russia just not their art.

I don't think that is scheming

I think that is fear

they have bitten off more than they can chew

this is the opening phases of the Third World War

they are getting nervous now

there are no lines, this is no man's land

they have bated Russia over the Rubicon

now they are afraid of what they have done

because this is quite obviously spinning out of control towards the threshold of Nuclear Deescalation

I don't disagree. It's just that the narrative about everyone putting "tough" sanctions on Russia is horseshit, not that I want them to do that mind you. They haven't totally cut Russia off where it really matters is the truth of the matter.

behind closed doors

they might even be starting to say now

how do we help Putin get out of this situation ?

before we all end up in the Cuban Missile Crisis on steroids now

Why isn't she in Ukraine with one of those free AKs? No lack of opportunity for these warhawks to put their money where their mouths are.

it's actually crossed my mind

to go to Ukraine

because they would take me

they would give me rank, make me an instructor, on the spot

but I just feel like I have a war to fight at home

against the tyranny which is already here upon me

Trudeau is Putin

[Smitty-48]

with my NATO training and 16 years of combat arms experience tho

this is my big chance

if I went to Ukraine now

they would probably make me a battalion commander

[Smitty-48]

they were interviewing this Ukrainian

he was in charge of like a company

and he had no military training at all

if I went to Ukraine now

I could rise to be a General, I'm quite sure

Historical background

Ukraine had it's origins in the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth in the 16th and 17th C.


The ethnic lines haven't changed that much today.

When Czarist Russia collapsed, Ukraine emerged attempting an independant state and they claimed some of the Donbass region.


In 1919 they were absorbed by the Bolsheviks and Lenin drew up present day Ukrainian borders.

[Smitty-48]

there is an Ukrainian Territorial Defense Force

they are just civilians who have been handed AKs

they are forming up into battalions

but none of them have any real military training at all

certainly nothing even approaching Canadian Army RCR Battleschool leader Instructors

[Smitty-48]

like when I joined the Canadian Army

we were the best small army in the world

the quick reaction force in the Fulda Gap

in Canada I am a junior NCO trained to senior NCO standard

but in a country mobilized for total war

all the civilians, women, children, old people too ?

I would be General Officer qualified in that context

Damn, dude. I did dangerous stuff at your age but nothing like becoming a combatant in a hot war.

Go fight with the Nazis and the Globohomos? I would rather go to the Donbass, if I were itching for combat duty.

not anymore dangerous than living in Canada now

the Mounties could kick my door in at any moment, deep six me into an extrajudicial black hole
