Trump was born into a wealthy family, and since his bankruptcies, he's been propped up by massive foreign bank loans. He's owned by the bankers, that's probably why he turned into a vaccine salesman.

The dealership told her. I guess you'd have to ask, some of the same make and model had them and some didn't, from what we can tell. The dealership was trying to say it like it was a good thing to prevent theft.

The thing is you get covid once and most only get a mild case, then natural immunity is strong. But the vaccines are for many people repeated over and over and over. And they'll probably get covid virus as well too sooner or later, so that's like 4 exposures or more to the spike proteins.

The only good side is there has been far fewer snide comments from Australians and New Zealanders about how they did it so much smarter than everyone else. Turns out they just kicked the can down the road further.

The mayor may have no idea it's a false flag or could just be a screwup by Ukrainian forces.

Yes, clown world, however to further complicate things, some video seems to indicate the Ukrainian volunteer fighters on the eastern border were to a large degree rogue and refusing orders to obey the govt or join the official military and even threatened to fight back if Ukrainian govt forces tried to force them. To make matters worse, most of Ukraine's hard core experienced fighters were these people that said they did not have to obey unwanted orders and did not like to have to follow rules. How to subdue those fighters without fighting them and also not risk loosing a big chunk of those tht knew how to fight while still being protected against Russia and the insurgent areas that were fighting back? THe western Ukrainian govt was trying to hide their lack of control in order to get more votes and support from other countries. But it seems like what they were dealing with was both a russia/donbas insurgency as well as western Ukrainian fighters also refusing to obey orders or stand down or follow any rules. It sounds like those fighters were not going to give up that fight or let go of donbas even if the govt wanted to allow that. So it was almost a 3 way civil war with the west govt wanting one thing, the eastern end ukrainian fighters wanting another and the donbas wanting a third thing.

Yep, he should be taking care of his own kids. He doesn't even know how to fight so he'd not be that useful in Ukraine. Of course this could all just be propaganda and this guy does not even exist.

I wonder if this is cover for them hiring mercenaries, they are trying to spin it to be like nice kind law abiding citizens that just love the Ukraine, but probably it's just mercenaries. This crap could drag on a long time if both sides hire mercenaries.

Yeah seriously, I got a 2015 truck right before the chip crisis and it was even outdated in 2015 when it was made, really glad for that now. I don't need a fancy console. My friend was out shopping for a van this month and some of them already have the killswitches installed, she passed on those but it's made shopping harder in an already tight market.

I wonder if this the reason for all those 'cash for clunkers' programs too, trying to make the used car market tighter. If you want to get even more into the rabbit hole, could this kill switch implementation be part of what is holding up new car sales? I know a guy that works with chip design and production and he says there is no reason why existing USA factories were not quickly be switched to create the needed chips since that's easy to do and we have a lot of facilities here too, existing factories could be switched to making car chips and less important stuff like toys could be short on chips instead.

We got biolabs all over including China and Kazakhstan. If the 'enemy' powers were so worried about them, I don't think China would be hosting them. Also getting them out of Ukraine does little when we have tons more and we also have had time to remove any important samples from Ukraine by now so I don't think this biolabs thing has much to do with the Ukraine situation.

This video is apparently from 2018. Reporters interview the Ukrainian volunteer militias (that do not officially exist) fighting against the Donbas separatists. Not 100% sure that Vice can be trusted as a source but nonetheless the video is interesting.

Probably not accurate, Russia said they are moving to domestic servers to protect against the west cutting them off, but moving to domestic servers by itself does not cut anything off.

loonygecko 1 point ago +1 / -0

Reading from other sources, it is saying Russia wants its peeps on domestic servers in case the west cuts THEM off. That way they could still communicate with each other. Russia is saying it has no plans to sever ties from the global net though, just to be ready in case the western side does. You can be on all domestic servers but still have all the com lines open. Not saying I trust that Russia won't ever alter course but these articles like you linked seem to be highly clickbaity with spin.

After your daily vaccine, today you must donate money to the Ukraine, paint something blue and yellow, and that advertise both in at least 10 social media posts in various locations (feel free to outrageously lie about how many you donated of course). Only then may you have breakfast.

"No one was sure what was real and what was fake in modern Russia." SOund familiar? Yep, they are doing the same thing here.

"Some scholars believe that the famine was planned by Joseph Stalin to eliminate a Ukrainian independence movement.[10][22] Others suggest that the man-made famine was a consequence of Soviet industrialisation.[23][24][25]" So the famine was not JUST in the Ukraine, other areas suffered too and evidence it was intentional against Ukraine does not appear strong. However I would not be surprised if when faced with insufficient rations, the less favorite regions got the least rations, Mao did that when his plan for China's agriculture failed badly as well. It could easily be that the mistakes in crop management plus the mentioned less favorable weather lead to the russian disaster. It should be mentioned that the USA starting suffering the great dust bowl around then which lasted for many years with people in the 'dust' regions not getting much (if any?) help from the USA govt. Many also starved. And we've already seen that at the hint of possibly scarce resources like perhaps hospital space, people are quite to say that those with unfavored opinions are the ones that should be left out. I don't trust Russia but I also am not sure I trust the USA much more.

False dichotomy, both sides have a bunch of shill accounts.

The other danger is the 'other side' is in many ways controlled opposition. You can still be a complicity theorist even if you think you are on the 'other side.' Because they provide you with a false dichotomy to try to keep us divided.
