Well, you know, we kind of overthrew their government in 2014, have been laundering money through them for a long time, Trump wasn't having any of that crap but also Trump didn't tell them to invade. Biden got in, told them to invade and the massive money laundering is back in full swing. Sad as it is, sorry they got invaded, it would be good if Russia would get the major smackdown for invading people cause they have a penchant for but honestly, this is a European problem and they should be shouldering the bill.

I’ve read the book at least three times. 1984 is definitely in my top 10 best novels of all time. I’d place it behind Lord of the Flies & nothing beats Watership Down by Richard Adams.
While I love 1984, the one problem I have with it is humanity is totally fucked. If you are a 1984 guy and believe that is what awaits our dystopian future, there is no red pill wake up to change things moment. From beginning to end, there is not a shred of hope that Winston (or anyone) can actually make a meaningful difference. Perhaps it’s even true, but I can’t live that way.
Also, if you like 1984…I highly recommend “Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland”.
It’s about middle aged German men that agreed to do what they thought was a peacekeeping mission in Nazi occupied Poland. These men were not indoctrinated Nazis. They were just middle class ordinary people like you and me. When they get there they learn they have to exterminate 1500 Jews by shooting them at point blank range. They could opt out, but most did not because they didn’t want to further burden their fellow men in the police battalion. All the men got sick and turned to heavy drinking. Then every day after they had to kill hundreds or thousands of more Jews…men, women, and children. Over time it became easy & systematic to do that every day.
Anyways, it’s a fascinating exploration of human psychology & points to a sad truth that we’re all capable of normalizing unspeakable acts of evil.

Looks like Nikki Haley is suspending her campaign today at 10am.
She came to the same conclusion that everyone else came to a year and a half ago when President Trump declared himself a candidate.
Personally, I think she harmed the Nikki Haley brand.. same with DeSantis.
I tend to agree. As nasty as it sounds, we should let them and the Middle East pretty much alone. We buy oil, we don't need too, the rest of the world really does need to buy oil so let them deal with it. Also, for the most part, we should cut off all immigration from most of the rest of the world. Clean up your own mess, we need to stop footing the bill for your crap and stop wrecking our economy and bleeding our kids for that crap. Alternatly, we should go in full force and stay full on and take them over and be the imperialist nation people accuse us of.
