It's gonna be a Merle Haggard kinda weekend.

A little Americana on this fine Friday.

It's true that the U.S. has no credibility in matters of invasion/intervention/etc.. In at least two ways: mendacity and incompetence. This has undermined our ability to use soft power and to enlist the help of other nations in pursuing legitimate goals. For example, Germany was unwilling to do all...

1) Stop using the phobia bit. It's newspeak. It's intended to slime people. Opponents of illegal immigration, or excess immigration, aren't xenophobes. Those who say that Russia has acted in ways that were hostile to the U.S. and did so for reasons that have little to do with ordinary statecraft ar...

Russia invaded a sovereign fellow democracy, and if WB wants to make fun of Biden saying Iranian instead of Ukrainian, I'm going to point out that his beloved leader is using mass slaughter of civilians while laying siege to the cities as his winning strategy. Tough shit if you don't like it. Russi...

Biden: “Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he will never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people." I think he meant the country you invaded unprovoked the other week. You know, the one where you are dropping cluster bombs in residential areas. I know it's a challenge but stop acting...

Russia has sparked alarm in Ukraine and throughout the international community in recent days by massing its armed forces close to the Ukrainian border. The military build-up has raised fears of a possible Russian offensive that could push beyond the areas of eastern Ukraine currently under Kremlin...

Well... I personally have not yet touched by sanctions, but I know people who works in firms wich already have problems. Those firms worked with Europe companies, and now trying to switch to Cinese.

President Zelenskyy has asked the European Union to fast track Ukraine’s entry into the bloc

Klitchko, Kiev's major said that all who on the streets after curfew are Russian diversants. Hey Bill, hope you're ok and thanks for providing some perspective on the situation. I'm curious, you're in Königsberg or Moscow now, right? What, if any, impacts are you feeling as our regular "man on...

Zelensky asks for negotiations. Good. I was thinking about this last night. In the aftermath of WWII, Austria was partitioned four ways just like Germany. Part of the agreement for the reformulation of an independent and democratic Austria was that they would remain neutral,and per a 1955 declarati...

What happened in Odessa?

Ukrainian Nazis burned about 40 people alive.

Thanks guys, I'll read the link.

What happened in Odessa?

Despite the criticisms, it seems like the US intelligence community did a pretty super job and the Ukrainians are determined to deny Putin a quick victory. I was speaking with someone last night about this and made the same point. The US had limited options, but straight out said, "Putin's gon...

A few thoughts... 1. This has been in planning since 2014 at least. 2. Trump was Putin's preferred candidate because he calculated that Trump would offer less opposition to the re-absorption of Ukraine. 3. This is Obama's fault and, stated more broadly, the fault of the Democratic Party, which has b...

Bumped for prescience

Whatever, it's not your job to defend Putin's decisions. My only hope is that our country stays out of it.

Well he hasn't asked my opinion, that much I can tell you.

Simple & Sinister...he banned discussion of it on his forum because it sucks all the air out of any other KB-related topic.

I have no love for Trump and I hope he doesn't run again, but the managerial Left is far worse IMHO.

So very true.

By my last count, all of them.
