You sir are insinuating that ...

---

I suspect that I would need to share a couple of beers with you to properly understand the perspective you are bringing to this discussion.

---

It's Unreformed Neo-Luddite.

What grabs me about the anthem is that it was definitely over the course of a few beers.

It was composed around 1812 because of the situation current in 1812, not misplaced pride of 2012.

Whereas the Pledge of Allegiance was penned around the 1930s and is designed to use an almost-Nazi salute with the palm up. This was drilled into our would-be brains first thing in the morning every morning! Flag worship! Nothing about why we fought the British, twice, but an actual religious prayer to a flag! However they quit enforcing it at some point, so, I am only describing kindergarten through two or three grades. *All* schools flew the federal flag from what I remember, with the time of it being half-masted was for Anwar Sadat. Since then, I quit being so heavily involved with it. As far as I know, the Communist Party never left my neighborhood, and never won an office.

Ironically the War of 1812 is what the Russians are experiencing now, relatively speaking.

It's not a ball I will drop. America and Russia ought to be friends, because they were, and there is no particularly good reason to change that.

Our rebellion was not against the British people, but, certain ideas of the British government -- which we then bought over again dyed-in-the-wool. They are saying more or less the same thing of the 1600s, there's nothing particularly "new" in any of this. Even if we say "Lithium" is a "new resource", it still falls under the principles of what atrocity will Capitalism commit in order to have it, with America's support to the old British Imperialism.

Perhaps what I am saying, is that, around 1776, America and some Europeans were somewhat on the same page, based on Agricultural Economy, and then the page goes missing until we see the BRICS of today. Why is BRICS "Westphalian"? It *opposes* One World Currency, a stratagem that has never left the backburner. It is *interested* in the viable sovereignty of each member, particularly of their sovereign currency. One of the worst sins of the American colonies was to ditch the Pound and use their own currency, which is why Franklin said unemployment was almost non-existent.

So, yes, that is propaganda, or bias, in saying that I have a positive valuation on arguments from this era, which were silenced and replaced in our sphere. I have never claimed to be a pacifist. There just isn't a "side", "platform", or "faction" among my current homelanders that I am on, or agree with. Most of the ones who take a historical look, do so on behalf of the Constitution, which I and/or we have been questioning since before it started. So that motive is useless.

Now the only reason I have American Revolutionary heritage, is because they had bailed from the conflicts going on in the United Kingdom. Out of recorded history, then, we are able to find perhaps a century or so of "American pioneering" that was really not all that bad! And then I personally, from living memory of persons I have spoken to, gives me a clear enough story about Industrialization overwhelming Agriculture in favor of Banks, which apparently buys Wars. So that is pretty simple. I can give a small example of peace and prosperity, surrounded on both sides by some really bad problems.


You know what they used to call "bowling"? They would steal a baby and "bowl" it out to the thin ice in the middle of a lake, and then of course the mother would run after her child, break the ice, and kill both, like the Israelis call a two-for-one shot. This was white people against other white people who lived down the road and prayed slightly differently. This is all you need to do to eat the hammer of hate sometimes! So of course they left! Those were some truly awful times for some really dumb reasons. And so you think you'd come to America and it would be really big, and a land of plenty, and for a while it was something like that. And you think you'd kick the British out because they live overseas, but, you better not nod off a wink because they do some far stranger things than just fight.

Was riveted by the Top Gear clip Ewan. You wouldn't get me near there for all the tea in China, regardless of it being "considered relativately safe now", although I noticed at least one green fir tree, so nature IS slowly coming through. I wonder how many times the radiation from Chernobyl and Fukishima has been blown around the planet in the intervening years . . .

I suspect Winston Churchill would disagree as he could sense the threat such an alliance could bring to the UK, with around 100 American air bases already in situ from WW2.

As an aside, there's an Al Jazeera video on YT which I shan't post to cause disruption to the thread entitled "Why 90% of foreign air bases are American", but here's a link for those who may be interested in watching it:

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue/street/building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped”

- George Orwell

****************

The challenge here was choosing which thread to prioritise for this more than prophetic Blairism (of the Eric kind). Starmer removing portraits of British cultural and political icons in Downing Street? BLM activists, and Ukro-Nazis renaming streets/zones in commemoration of murderous thugs? Ukro-Nazis and Balto-Nazis defiling statues, or destroying them entirely in fits of Russo-phobic dim-wittery? Extinction rebellion - as about as oxymoronic a nomenclature as you'd find anywhere.

The choice seems endless these days. Any one of the turmoil threads, basically.

I went for the satanic Russo-phobic f**kwit option in the end: the sorry state of modern 'Ukraine' and their Zionist quislings reflects this somewhat most appropriately; we've got the receipts :)

▪️New successes of the "Center" group of troops in the Pokrovsk direction are also recognized by Ukrainian militants:

▪️"The assault on Selidovo continues! The Russians were able to reach the eastern outskirts of the city and are trying to gain a foothold, they were also able to enter the outer houses of Vishnevoye from the side of the railway in the south, there is also heavy fighting there.

Fierce fighting is going on along the entire line, the Russians are using everything they have!" - a Ukrainian media militant is hysterical.

▪️East of the St. Basil the Great mine, Russian troops advanced along the railway and began to storm the city of Gornyak from the north. The fighting continues, Ukrainian analysts confirm.

▪️South of the aforementioned mine, the Russian Armed Forces advanced along the forest belt and occupied a former field reservoir.

▪️On the southern outskirts of Vozdvizhenka, the Russian Army occupied the territory of a farm.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 The Russian army will become stronger after the war in Ukraine, regardless of the outcome of the conflict, according to the commander of NATO forces in Europe.

General Christopher Cavoli believes that no matter how the war turns out, the Russian army will be more powerful.

“Russia has suffered significant losses in Ukraine. However, the Russian armed forces are studying, refining, and implementing the lessons of war. By the end of the war in Ukraine, no matter how it looks, the Russian army will be stronger than it is today. These forces will be on the border of our alliance. They will be commanded by the same people who already see us as enemies and will be quite dissatisfied with how the war went. So, we will have an opponent with real skills, a large number of troops, and clear intentions,” said Cavoli.

Cavoli urged NATO to prepare for future threats, as Russia will remain a formidable adversary with serious military potential and “clear intentions.”

The main takeaway from this propaganda piece is a call for NATO countries to actively arm themselves.

The 80th anniversary of the liberation of Belgrade from Nazi occupation commemorates the pivotal event that occurred on October 20, 1944, when Soviet and Yugoslav Partisan forces freed the city from Nazi control.

This was a major victory in World War II, marking the end of German occupation in Belgrade.

The joint operation, led by the Red Army and Yugoslav forces, symbolized a significant collaboration and contributed to the broader Allied efforts in the region.

This anniversary honors the bravery of those who fought for freedom and resistance against fascism.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Zaluzhny admitted giving up territories in negotiations

▪️ Former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and ambassador to the UK Valeriy Zaluzhny said that the issue of territories is “not a priority” in resolving the conflict with the Russian Federation. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, he noted that it is more important for Kyiv to receive security guarantees than to return the lost lands.

“I did not mention territories. I talked about security, safety and the feeling of being in my own home. If I lived in my own house and knew that my neighbor had appropriated part of my garden, I would say that we need to resolve this issue. If not now, then our children will have to resolve it,” the ambassador said.

❗️ In Zaluzhny’s words, the Western press noted a “tectonic shift” in rhetoric - previously, official Kyiv flatly refused any negotiations without returning to the 1991 borders. The Daily Telegraph notes that even the Ukrainian military personnel surveyed are in favor of a speedy peace agreement, and only Western partners are interested in prolonging military actions until 2025-2026.

Of course he would. It is hard to find a better example of a British Imperialist Nazi. Of course, his country was friendly to Russia as well, that is, until the strong imperialism of the 1840s. So yes of course Russia was temporarily "used" by the Entente to weaken Germany, and, shortly down the road, jettisoned.


"Friends" does not equate to "alliance". An alliance is a defense treaty, as in "Israel has no allies, just friends". I don't know that America and Russia should be "allies".

Now in this country, critical mass has been achieved by insults. We call human beings derogatory terms like "commies" and "towel heads" and that is apparently all it takes to get the public to sincerely believe that thousands or millions of lives are ours to take.


In that country, you may recall that Princess Victoria was in love with the future Tsar Nicholas II, they would have married except for the parental admonishment "we don't do such things". It was that close! Nevertheless, you find him following the footsteps of adjustment or reconciliation:


Nicholas signed the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907, which was designed to counter Germany's attempts to gain influence in the Middle East; it ended the Great Game of confrontation between Russia and the British Empire.


Shortly thereafter, Remington Arms made so many rifles for the Russians, they had to make a new 11-acre campus in Philadelphia. Once it got running, the paperwork alone required an entire warehouse. They made about a million British Enfields but the Russian deliveries were the largest output.

Russia, England, and France could not have prosecuted World War One without American industry.

These days, Remington is giving ammunition to Ukraine. Or at least it sent a million rounds in the early days.


If you would like to think of something really revolting, at least in this country, when tv began to spread around, dialogue filled with "they're commies, they're going to take over the world", along with "nuclear war", for which, a generation hid in bomb shelters, like the Israelis do now. During this time, you were hosed by "cancer research" while being filled with strange new chemicals that cause cancer.

Around the 1980s, the obsession shifted, and we got the rants about "towel heads" and suddenly the going thing became AIDS research.

So you can kind of match up a style of hatred with a medical scam.

We even re-made friends with Russia after the Iron Curtain. That is, our government still hated them, but people relaxed. And so we experience around a generation of laxity in this regard, and it comes round again, as, apparently, the Ukrainian meaning of life. Ukraine is just a big Israel, like being both of its parents at the same time. Everyone seems to be doing the work of the European Central Bank. It is weird how the core of the thing has already died and yet the minions keep the same strategy on auto-repeat.

Leader of volunteers helping Kiev’s draft effort found dead – media
The dead man was head of a “law-enforcement assistance unit” that patrolled with Kiev’s conscription enforcers

A Ukrainian businessman, involved in the country’s controversial military draft enforcement, has been found dead near Odessa with gunshot wounds, local media reported on Sunday.

The victim, identified as car dealer Gennady Beybutyan by journalist Irina Grib, led a so-called volunteer group that worked closely with conscription officers in locating and apprehending potential evaders.

Authorities have launched a murder investigation, though the motive remains unclear. According to reports, Beybutyan’s group, the “Law Enforcement Assistance Unit,” has played a key role locally in Kiev’s aggressive conscription campaign.

The unit frequently patrolled streets with police, participating in raids that often turned violent. Ukrainian media outlet Strana.ua reported that the group engaged in beating suspected evaders and smashing car windows in their attempts to stop vehicles for conscription checks.

The activities of Beybutyan’s men have come under scrutiny amid allegations of corruption. According to multiple sources, the group was involved in schemes where potential conscripts could bribe their way out of military service.

The “volunteers” were reportedly instrumental in identifying those willing to pay to avoid the front lines. The unit’s members were allegedly immune from conscription themselves, adding to suspicions about their involvement in illicit activities.

Beybutyan’s men also reportedly engaged in a violent “turf war” with other similar groups that sought the privilege of working with the local conscription offices. These entities competed for access to the lucrative corruption opportunities and conscription exemptions offered to their members.
The unit gained notoriety earlier this year when a scandal broke out after they attacked a driver who allegedly filmed one of their roadside conscription checkpoints. The case fueled public outrage.

While local police have not officially tied Beybutyan’s murder to his role in the conscription efforts, his death again highlights the dangerous and often murky environment surrounding Ukraine’s forced mobilization campaign.

Amid heavy military losses and widespread draft evasion, Kiev has tightened its conscription laws, with ongoing raids targeting men at public venues, such as bars, malls, and even weddings.

This spring, Kiev lowered the military service age from 27 to 25 and significantly tightened the country’s mobilization rules, requiring potential recruits to report to conscription offices for “data validation.” These checks often result in people being immediately drafted into the army and sent to the front line.

Desperate To Catch Up In Hypersonics, US Recycles Failed Weapons Programs 21.10.2024

Written by Drago Bosnic, independent geopolitical and military analyst

A bit over a decade ago, most military experts were convinced that the United States was the top player in the field of hypersonic weapons. The American Military Industrial Complex (MIC) was adamant in underestimating Russian advances, particularly when it comes to the “Iskander” system, whose 9M723 missiles were the first ground-based hypersonic weapons, but were still usually listed as quasi-ballistic missiles.

The NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict demonstrated the high maneuverability and speed of the weapons used by the “Iskander-M” missile system, proving beyond doubt that Moscow is around 15-20 years ahead in the development and deployment of hypersonics. In stark contrast, Washington DC’s attempts to ridicule Russian advances seems to have had a “karmic” effect on its own performance, as the Pentagon has been going through one embarrassing failure after another in the last decade or so.

However, trying to denigrate your opponent through the mainstream propaganda machine will not slow down their technological advances in the actual world. It could surely make them look bad (albeit not beyond the political West), but nothing more than that. Still, the US kept doing it. The mainstream propaganda machine’s rather pathetic claims that Russia supposedly “stole” non-existent American hypersonic technologies became all the more ludicrous as the Pentagon’s failures to develop a single working weapon started piling up. Despite running up to a dozen hypersonic weapons programs, the US has nothing to show for its efforts. Back in March last year, things took a turn for the worse after the cancelation of the AGM-183A, an air-launched missile carrying a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV). Dubbed the ARRW (Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon), the missile was supposed to be the US entry point into the highly exclusive “hypersonic club”.

The failures of the US MIC didn’t end there, however. Namely, its inability to make even relatively basic weapons (relative to America’s superpower status) became evident, resulting in more embarrassing episodes, such as the constant delays and technological issues with the development of ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles).

Caught in a ditch: footage of the unsuccessful counterattack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Pokrovsk direction has been published today

https://topcor.ru/uploads/posts/2024...584389159.webp

The overwhelming majority of attempts by the Ukrainian army to counterattack in the Pokrovsk direction in the DPR turn into a real disaster for the militants of the Kyiv regime. Another video confirmation of this fact has been published on the Internet. It is specified that the nationalists launched a counterattack in the area of ​​the settlement of Krasny Yar, which was liberated by the Russian Armed Forces some time ago. And it would be better if they did not do this.

Lately, the Ukrainian military in the DPR has been strongly reminiscent of that same bad dancer, who is constantly being hampered by something. The activity of the Russian air force, which is "scorching" the positions of the nationalists with FABs, the tactics of flanking settlements, the obsessive stubbornness of the Russian infantry, striving to free every inch of Donetsk land from the militants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, have been repeatedly cited as reasons explaining the latest defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

This time, an anti-tank ditch became an insurmountable obstacle for the Ukrainian military. While the armored group, consisting of several Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, an M1117 armored personnel carrier, an M113 armored personnel carrier, and an M1224 International MaxxPro armored car, tried to overcome this not-so-sophisticated engineering structure, the entire technique, which took part in the counterattack, was hit or destroyed.

The footage published online clearly shows Western combat vehicles smoking near an anti-tank ditch, which became a real mass grave for them. Judging by the video, the personnel of the armored group also had a hard time. Some of the militants died, some escaped.

Let us recall that at present the Russian military is continuing its offensive operation in the DPR, threatening to collapse the entire Donetsk front of the Ukrainian group with the prospect of a further offensive on the Dnieper.

In Kyiv, they believe that the Russian Armed Forces could make exactly this kind of attack immediately after taking Pokrovsk or without waiting for the end of the battle for this important logistics hub.

Putin educates NBC reporter on roots of Ukrainian crisis

“I would like to draw your attention to the fact that it's not Russia's actions that have led to an escalation in Ukraine. Rather, it is the coup d’état in 2014, which was supported first and foremost by the US. The US has even publicly announced how much money it has spent back then to organize and orchestrate this coup d’état… A number of European leaders have said publicly that they had been duping us because they had been using that time to rearm the Ukrainian troops,” Putin told a NBC reporter after being asked about alleged Russian plans for a “massive escalation in the Ukraine war.”

Highlighting European countries’ move to arm the Ukrainian regime, Putin turned to the reporter’s second question – new allegations of Russian “interference” in the US election, pointing out that Congressional inquiries revealed that similar claims made during the 2016 cycle turned out to be “nonsense.”

Putin on Western countries:

▪️Leading world economies abused their position by printing money during COVID and causing global inflation.

▪️The West disregarded the principles of international law by funding Ukraine.

▪️There is no justice from the West in its approach towards Russia.

▪️On reports that Russia will wreak havoc on UK streets: Complete nonsense.

British diplomat gets aggressive with Russian journalists (VIDEO)
Britain’s deputy head of mission in Russia, Tom Dodd, has assaulted multiple reporters at Moscow’s Vnukovo airport. The incident happenned late on Thursday after he faced a barrage of uncomfortable questions.

Dodd was in the company of several other UK Foreign Office personnel, including the head of the Eastern Europe and Central Asia Directorate (EECAD), Christopher Allan, when he arrived late on Tuesday. The delegation headed straight for the exit, followed by a sizable group of reporters, who bombarded Dodd with various questions, including on a recent spy scandal which resulted in the expulsion of six British diplomats.

Footage from the scene shows Dodd attempting to grab cameras from the reporters, ripping an ID off the neck of one, and rudely shoving a woman out of his path.

The Britons staged a press scrum of sorts outside the airport, speaking primarily about the weather and ignoring questions about more pressing matters. They were met by a small group of protesters, one of whom had their placard torn by a member of the delegation.

According to media reports, the British delegation’s primarily task will be inspecting the work of the country’s mission in Moscow in the aftermath of the spy scandal. In mid-September, six British embassy staff were declared persona non grata over their alleged involvement in “subversive activities” and espionage. London rejected the accusations as “completely baseless.”

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has strongly condemned the airport incident and said Dodd’s behavior clearly demonstrated London’s true stance on “the high standards they’ve been constantly proclaiming, press freedom, and media pluralism.”

“The British authorities and their diplomats in Moscow must finally realize they should reserve their neo-colonialist habits for their own journalists at home,” Zakharova said during a regular press briefing on Wednesday, urging British diplomats to acquaint themselves with Russian legislation protecting the press.

It was not immediately clear whether Dodd will face any repercussions given his high diplomatic status, and the immunity it confers. Russia’s Penal Code has an article dedicated to protecting journalists, with disrupting their work punishable by up to six years in prison.

• North Korean Troops Enter Russia

---

Fake news, sourced entirely by a South Korean website. And western media propaganda has seized on the gifted opportunity.

North Korean troops have been taking part in joint military training exercises in Eastern Siberia, thousands of miles from Ukraine. That's all.

Meanwhile, Russia has been taking on 1000 enthusiastic military volunteers per day, month in, month out. They don't need any North Koreans, or anyone else, to help them win their own patriotic war. :)

🇰🇵 THE NORTH KOREAN MISSION TO THE UN DENOUNCES RUMORS ABOUT SENDING TROOPS TO RUSSIA AS 'DIRTY MANEUVERS' BY THE US

Accusations against Pyongyang regarding the deployment of North Korean troops to Russia are "dirty maneuvers" by the United States and its allies to mask their own crimes and extend the conflict in Ukraine, stated Il Ha Kim, the First Secretary of North Korea's Permanent Mission to the UN.

"With regard to the accusations against the DPRK, they are nothing but dirty maneuvers of the US and its followers to disguise their crimes, to instigate the protraction of the Ukraine crisis by supplying Ukraine with all kinds of lethal weapons prohibited by international law, including cluster bombs," the diplomat emphasized at an informal UN Security Council meeting.

Vladimir Putin: Russia will not make concessions to settle the situation in Ukraine 25.10.2024, Moscow.

Russia does not intend to make concessions in the Ukrainian conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with journalist Olga Skabeeva, she published in her Telegram channel on October 25.

The head of State emphasized that any outcome of the special military operation should be in Russia’s interests.

The President noted that the situation on the battlefield should be taken into account when discussing the terms of a peaceful settlement.

During his interview, Putin identified one of the main factors contributing to the success of the Russian army in the zone of the special military operation. In his opinion, it is the high level of coordination between the various branches of the army, which, along with the combat experience gained, ensures impressive results on the battlefield.

Ukraine Loses Peace, Army and Territory yesterday

The Ukrainian army is grinded on battlefields while Kiev does not dare to enter into negotiations with Russia.

At his press conference following the BRICS summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a number of important statements shedding some light on the current stage of the Ukrainian conflict. Moscow recently received new peace proposals from Kiev through Turkey. Russians agreed to discuss them but the very next day the head of the Kiev regime refused any negotiations.

There is less and less chance of a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian conflict soon, because Ukraine has refused peace talks many times. Putin recalled the failed negotiations in 2022 in Istanbul that were disrupted by Kiev’s Western patrons.

Today, the lifting of martial law would lead to elections in Ukraine. Zelensky understands that peace on any terms is the way to lose his power. While his Western curators are not ready to lose their puppet useful to prolong the war and inflict maximum damage to Russia.
