As usual. Seems like folk like him can't wait to spout off their nonsense at any opportunity and then hide behind bothsiderisms.

Music Lovers! Unite in helping Ukraine!
We are fortunate to live in countries that allow us to pursue financial success. I believe most of us on here has attained that to a degree that we are living relatively comfortably.
The Russian military is beginning to utilize all the massive firepower at its disposal. Since their offensive has bogged down, they are changing tactics. Their new tactic is to surround a city and shell it indiscriminately, inflicting as much human misery as possible. A rocket, missile and artillery shell doesn’t care if you are a soldier, old woman, or an infant. Neither does Putin.
When they unleash it like they did in Syria, it will be a humanitarian catastrophe not seen since the Second World War. Death and destruction on a massive scale.
Please, consider giving to a charitable organization to help.
We have so much. Give some of it to whom it will literally make a difference between living and dying. You will be saving a life. A life of someone loved. Just as you love.
unitedhelpukraine.org
This is the charity I used, but there are several more of your choice. International Red Cross, Save the Children, CARE, to name a few.
Please, let’s all do what we can to help.

Only one ran amok and yet his post is still up there while mine, which called him out for it, was taken down. Get your facts straight.
My post was taken down quickly and yet his sick statement still stands. Who was the idiot who did that? There are some very sick people on this site. Sorry, carpathian, but I had to speak my mind. All the best, |
@jerryg123 , how dense are you? What I wrote was in response to CD318, which was up for everyone to see, including you, before it was justly taken down. It was an affront to anyone with half a brain (well?) Speaking of which, your comment about "a few" running amok when there was only one awful post would lead anyone to deduce you referred to the one refuting the offensive post (again, half?). I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you didn’t read the whole thread and when you saw mine, you lost it. Now we have audioman58 with an inane post showing he hasn’t a clue as demonstrated by the fact that we are up 5% in our oil production and at the limit of LNG production, both of which we export and have to build more infrastructure so we accommodate more exporting. Also, we’re releasing 60 Million barrels of our own reserves to head off Putin’s response. We buy on the open market because oil is fungible, something audioman58 can’t wrap his head around. All the best, |
jerry, what can I say. To anyone here, just go back and read this in it's proper order. @stoks , thanks for proving my point. Why you felt the need to validate it is beyond me. Hey jerry, before I leave, this lovely Ukrainian woman told me to pass this onto you:
All the best, |
@jerryg123 , that's some pretty weak tea dude, but you were never that good at it. In fact, you're consistently as crude and rudimentary as you've always been, no matter what name you've gone by. All the best, |
On a happier note, there’s this: It appears the FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation) tipped off Ukraine of some Chechen Kadyrovites (Putin’s most loyal assassins) who went in to kill Zelensky. Both groups were caught and killed. Some 56 Chechen tanks were destroyed just outside of Kyiv, along with top Chechen general Magomed Tushayev. The FSB is not behind Putin’s war, which is an indication that not all is well in Moscow. And, Oleg Depripaska anchored his yacht, the Clio, in the Maldives where there is no US extradition. A few other Russian oligarchs super yachts are on their way as well. The rats are fleeing. All the best,

A weak president? Did you work to get Brexit done like a good and useful idiot for Putin? Did you notice that despite the bombing and violence, everything still works in Ukraine that's hooked to the grid? Back in November, Biden tasked his team for this eventuality. They partnered with many nations and Microsoft to come up with a "vaccine" to combat Russian cyber tactics (trying to shut down the grids) and guess what? It worked. What it does is recognize the cyber virus and isolates it as quickly as possible. In the meantime, you really need to clean up your act and stop posting for Russia and the alt right. You conflate facts with propaganda and we get to read your babbling, which is a serious waste of time. By the way, where are all the usual suspects screaming for the above post to be taken down, along with the admonishments. Funny, that. All the best, |
Hey dumb-dumb, that link you provided means what? Something we all know from predictive analysis by the experts? Is this some form of drunk dialing? Pelosi is not in charge and though Biden is open to all options,
Instead of using anything to troll this administration, why not grow some opposable thumbs, evolve, and stop aiding and abetting the enemy. And your own quote,
says just that, and what I said in the previous post, "leave it to the experts." All the best,
|
@serjio @cowan217 @aseaman007 , do this thread a favor and take a hike. No one is compelling you to read it. Admin has given permission to keep it up. If you have a beef about it, grow a pair and contact them. Stop polluting this thread with your Russian fed BS. That's right, Russian fed. Facebook and Twitter did a commendable job clamping down and deleting fake Russian accounts and bots but some are still getting through and guess what, it's the same crap you're spouting. You need to be more discerning in what you're reading. On the way back from the gym this morning, I listened to a talk on conspiracy theories and the need for those of lessor minds to latch onto them. How can something like that give you comfort? All the best,
|
Wow. My post is taken down for pointing out the trolls and this other crap stays up for all to read. Talk about censorship and freedumb of speech. Why is it one side is so hypocritical? The fact that is, they will not stop polluting this thread so they can get it it shut down just to make them happy so they can continue living their miserable, conspiracy ridden lives. Instead of leaving well enough alone so those affected by this can receive aid, they'd rather have it closed down and revel in their pain. All the best,
|
@larsman , You're welcome. I missed your post from watching way too much news. Here's something that would look great on a t-shirt:
Looks like something Banksy would do but I believe it's a Ukrainian artist. All the best, |
Thank you @thecarpathian for starting this thread and thanks to Tammy and A'gon for allowing it. At least it opened a few eyes and wallets. All the best, |
@tomic601 , they're deleting your posts? You've taken the high road from the very beginning, staying above the fray. I'd love to see this entire thread reconstituted for all to read. The more you know..... you know. All the best, |
You're gonna need to backpedal better than that. Took you all this time to come up with that? (NYT..it must be true!) She wasn't charged with having pot oil until today. Let's seen now...arrested last month, Putin already plans on invading, gather up pawns, and now spring this on us and have his sycophants and supporters pollute the internet. Good job bot #215674!
By the way, who's your scriptwriter? All the best, |
Yes, she was arrested last month and all she had were vape cartridges, not hash oil. I missed out on the date but not the facts around her arrest. American intel already said she will be framed as a drug dealer. So thanks for supporting the Russian narrative, comrade. All the best,

And, allenf1963 is right about the willy nilly nature of the deletions being done. There's no rhyme or reason to it which leads me to believe it's not the mods (who are doing their best) but the usual members here, simply out for revenge. I've been in chats on other sites where none of this would be taken down unless you were a troll, polluting the thread with disinformation that's already common knowledge. Very easy to verify. Those here wouldn't last a minute at those other sites. I say leave it all up for the world to see and for us to take note of for the next time we encounter them. That way we can just simply ignore them. This is not a kids table at a family gathering. Erasing the history of these comments and the ones who make them gives them cover to hide behind since they rely on people having short memories. All the best,

This is the last thing Russians saw before Putin turned off the only two independent TV stations. The same thing was shown during the downfall of the USSR. I think the citizens of Russia know better than to believe what some are saying here. High speed rail service to Finland is jammed with Russians leaving for good. Soon there may be martial law so no one can leave. Ask any Ukrainian and they say, "wake up everyone, WWIII has already started." All the best, |
I can't help it. I have to say something. Too many uniformed tools posting nonsense. So easy to be an armchair warrior. If we don't buy Russia's oil, someone else will. It's fungible. Not buying it will drive up the price. What's needed is for everyone to not buy their oil and be prepared to open more reserves, produce more, and be prepared to still pay more. The price will not come down anytime in the near future. Get a life and stop practicing folk economics. Let the experts sort it out. For those interested in the nuts and bolts, here's some good reading on the logistics of the situation as it's playing out. A proper understanding can help one see the bigger picture. Russia can only go so far, logistically. To make up for it, they're going to get really ugly. All the best,

Thought I’d check back in after doing my level best not to post anymore after @thecarpathian kindly asked not to post political opinions. Emotions are running high and it’s understandable to knock down all the BS (my favorite pastime nowadays) but this thread is to inform others of what charities to donate to to help out the victims, so I refrained from posting anymore. Amazing...huh? If donating is not an option, another way is to contact your city councilman or representative to make sure your cities investors are not buying Russian debt. It’s what the city of Los Angeles just did. The mayor wrote to the state to have them disinvest their retirement funds from Russian accounts and it just so happens that we here have two of the largest pension funds in the country and they’re doing that right now. There are many ways to help out. All the best, |
Just read up on them over on Wikipedia and an article at The Guardian. Lots of alt right neo-Nazis that were their own entity but incorporated into the Ukrainian National Guard, which means not all of them are, just that group. As for the last 8 years, that aligns with when Russia seized those territories that were not theirs to begin with and put their people in charge of everything and then claiming it was always Russians who lived there. One can see why they object to them for being occupiers all this time so Putin would have a reason to invade and seize more territory, which is exactly what he's doing. Quite the mess but this has been gone over in the press all the time while it's happened and now we have a name for some of the fighters defending Ukraine, the Azov. Bad as they are, letting Putin in to slaughter everyone else is not the answer and wrong for a reason to hide behind. As for fake videos and data, care to point any of them out? All the best, |
Former ambassador McFall knows Putin as well as anyone out there. What he has to say is scary. Putin listens to no one. His cabinet is all for show. He lives in his dacha outside of Moscow and rarely comes into the city. He doesn't read newspapers or keeps up on world news. He's surrounded by military yes men and oligarchs. He made a major blunder misreading the tea leaves and sent in a show of force without proper planning and looks like a fool to military experts. Lots of Russian kids were told this was an exercise. They've left their tanks full of gas for Ukrainians to drive away. There's two videos of a Ukrainian solder just climbing in one and driving away to use later. Another shows a young girl in a troop carrier giving instructions on how to start it and drives away in it. Farmers are towing them away for future use. That 40 mile long convoy is barely moving. While listening into the coms, we realized there's no digital signature. They're using common radios and the Ukrainians are listening in, knowing where they're going. Russian commanders have taken to keeping a great distance from their troops as a result. Even the Spetsnaz have been hindered by it. They're stealing Ukrainian radios whenever they can. Putin will react like the madman he is. I think war is unavoidable as Putin wants all of it's former nation states back. He's living in the 19th century. With the Ides of March upon us, I pray he'll have his Julius Caesar moment and we can fix this. All the best, |
@ghasley , sorry about that and thanks for clearing it up. I was more than a bit miffed at the bile and hate that so easily comes out of some peoples mouths. Caught up in the moment, as they say. To the others who made sure to censor, take a good long look at what you're leaving up in this thread and have a moment or two of introspection. For those who are still undecided on where to donate, there's Chef Jose Andres World Central Kitchen. All the best, |
@stoks , since you've seemed to make yourself a student of me, It puzzles me to no end that you fail to notice I'm responding to others. That informs me that you're of another persuasion and are content to hear the negative, the falsehoods, and the insane commentaries that now pass for regular discourse. Just because I sometimes fare well at it seems to upset you. That made my day. I don't find and exhaust every angle but just use facts that anyone can look up, if they cared to. All the best, |
I checked out many sites for the legit charities to give to and a few kept coming up. The one I gave to is CARE-Ukrainian Crisis Fund. All the best, |
