The massive street protests for Ukraine we expected to see across major European cities just haven't happened.
It looks like folks in Europe have plenty of other things to worry about right now.

Adam Lee13 said:Kazakhstan basically gave Russ the middle finger when it comes to sending troops to Ukraine or recognizing Lugansk and Donetsk. They pretty much told Putin to get lost, which is wild considering Russia was supposedly playing the hero just a month ago.

It really feels like the whole "Russian world" thing has shrunk down to just two people: that lunatic over in Minsk and a heavily botoxed Putin.

Kazakhstan is really shooting itself in the foot here. This is basically an open invitation for militants to come in and finish what they started.

So, what happened to those 2,500 Ukrainian tanks, missiles, and artillery pieces?
The air force might be sidelined, but the ground forces are still heavy-duty—yet they aren't running any actual operations. Honestly, it looks like an inside deal where certain factions within the military are playing ball with the Russians to wipe out the original Maidan fighters, sniff out sympathizers, and force a total political reset.
There’s just no other logical way to explain this level of passivity and lack of real resistance.

James Phillips92 said:They might pull that off, but someone’s going to end up in the woods.

That's a bit old school, isn't it? Nowadays, you just get sent to Guantanamo for 15 or 20 years without even an indictment.😛

What if Ukraine just followed the Chechnya playbook and cut some sweet deals with Russia to secure its own economic standing and aid? They could ditch NATO entirely and play it smart by cooperating with both the East and the West without all this constant warfare. Imagine them actually focusing on real economic growth instead of just living off empty promises and being pushed into endless conflicts. So far, besides a bunch of weapons—which we all know will come with a massive bill one day—they haven't seen any serious cash from either the European Union or the USA. Honestly, they should just work with anyone willing to actually invest and do business in Ukraine. Why not try to have your cake and eat it too?☕

Charles Fox10 said:🤦Good grief.🤦

I suppose we should be grateful that clowns and criminals are the ones running the show.☕

Not really.
Once Hollywood producers read about some local politician bragging about starting a wildfire just to scare people away—and then claiming they won't face any consequences—nobody is going to want to come film movies in the States ever again.😵

Robin Jones2 said:Anything left worth stealing will be looted under the direction of the Criminal.

They clearcut the forests, pollute the oceans, air, and water, destroy the coastline, and shamelessly strip-mine gravel and stone. They tear up the woods and ruin the farmland.

Meanwhile, the healthy and mobile segments of the population simply leave.

What else can they do?
There are zero jobs, and the cost of living here is absolutely insane. Just look at how much it costs to heat a basic 600-square-foot apartment in Washington, D.C., even if you actually own it.
You either lose your mind, get sick, or go completely broke.
Unemployed Washington, D.C. residents spend every morning watching government bureaucrats, state employees, and those lucky few in the private sector cruise into work in nice cars, only to head home in the afternoon.
The unemployed just sit there in despair, sending out resumes for the few jobs available until they eventually rot. When they finally hit their breaking point, they move abroad, where they struggle just as hard working entry-level jobs that are way beneath their actual skill sets.
Back home, that pack of thieves just keeps stealing, grabbing, and looting like this will last forever. It won't, but by then, everything will already be gutted and gone.☕

Robin Jones2 said:One is expected to love a state that has given them nothing.

Should those who were forced to leave the country because it offered them zero opportunities still be expected to love it? Should the people who couldn't access healthcare or vaccinations because others cut the line through political connections be expected to show love? Or those who lost their jobs simply because they were a minority or because someone from the Republican Party needed the slot?

Should those who couldn't find work after finishing school—because the jobs went to those within the party community instead—be expected to love this country?

Should those who were run over on the road or at sea by someone like Horvatinčić, only to be denied justice, be expected to feel love?

Should those working for minimum wage in companies run by "entrepreneurs" who are really just party cronies be expected to love it?

Should those who repeatedly lose out on job applications to people holding Republican Party cards be expected to love it?

Should those who have church bells ringing outside their windows at all hours be expected to love it, now that the church has been exempted from the Noise Control Act?

Should those who still have no idea how or when their homes will be rebuilt more than a year after a major earthquake be expected to love it?

And so on.

Actually, I see now that the Republican Party member used the phrase "One MUST love America."

Which means everyone I just listed MUST love America, even if the country is designed solely to serve this Republican Party member and her cohorts in theft.

Spot on. Pure truth right there. Honestly, thank God everything is circling the drain so fast—it might actually give us a chance at a fresh start, even if it's going to be a brutal one.👍

Old man Manolić is out there flat-out saying the Republican Party is going to lose this election.
And honestly, he knows his stuff.
Just look at the absolute panic happening over at the Republican Party right now.
I bet even Plenković realizes they’re about to get crushed like never before.
They basically killed themselves with all that reckless debt. People are finally realizing that living on credit eventually comes with a massive bill.

Carl Wilson said:Honestly, the only thing that really threw me for a loop during this whole election cycle was how poorly Milijan Brkić did... I mean, I was seriously expecting him to pull way more votes than that. That whole crew—Kovac, Penava, and the rest—they honestly might have had a better shot at winning over users like math_baby, if anyone even remembers her, compared to those two 🤦. If Škoro had just joined the Republican Party and run as their guy (just playing it safe and easy), he probably would've stood a much better chance, but I guess he wasn't willing to take that kind of risk.

Vaso Milijan was really living the high life. He lived off loans to buy up stocks, shoved his daughter into a cushy gig at the Republican Party offices in Brussels within the European Commission—she’s got a bright career ahead of her—and there are whispers about expensive motorcycles and racing horses because apparently, she’s into equestrian stuff. Basically, it was just shady dealings everywhere you looked. His brother rents out an unknown number of storefronts in Washington, D.C., so it was a total paradise. And just when he thought he was ready to climb to the top and become the leader instead of just being a follower—boom, screw him. His most loyal buddies left him out in the cold.
Now we just have to see if he can suck up to Plenković enough to get back into the fold. If he does, Vaso is going to settle the score with the rebels in the ranks, and God help them.

It’s just great how sex told them the Republican Party always had plenty of cash for pest control and cleaning services.
If you're smart, you get the hint.
Option one: lose your job and every single government contract you hold—that includes everything from civil service to the military and police.
Option two: we pay you a visit at your front door with the full menu of "services" that have been a staple since the 90s, especially back during the war years.
So, suck it up.
It’s either stick with Plenković or pack your bags for somewhere like Ireland and face total poverty and isolation.
The losers of this election are going to be eating humble pie and crawling back to Plenković, because they know that without the Republican Party, they and their kids—who are already conveniently placed in government jobs—are absolutely nothing. And trust me, nobody wants to move to Ireland to wash dishes or care for the sick for pennies an hour.
Franjo Harmon's Republican Party is just cruising along exactly the same way: zero reforms, just keeping the gravy train rolling.

urbanrider8 said:With turnout sitting at 30% today, we're looking at roughly 60,000 to 70,000 people.

The Republican Party is just trying to scare voters with those numbers. They don't even have more than 60-70k supporters anymore.
They were lying back in 1990, and they’re lying now.
Honestly, what Republican would actually dare skip these elections?
None of them.

Tonight’s numbers will finally reveal how many actual Republicans we have left—because we all know every single one of them shows up to vote. I’m betting they won't even crack 60,000 or 70,000, despite the constant hype from the old guard claiming there are 200,000 of them. Most of the old crowd has already dropped off, and there just aren't enough young people coming in to replace them.

The surrealists in Ottawa actually called it—predicting the ethnic tensions in Sweden way back in the '80s. If you want the details on Sweden's current mess, just check the Diary.

Nicole Barrett76 said:I am of the opinion that the core issue isn't strictly about whether Turkey joins the European Union or not; rather, it seems to stem from the complex dynamics of Turkish-Kurdish relations. Is it truly wise to grant them membership? Perhaps the most beneficial path for all parties involved would be for Turkey to assume a role as an observer or a special partner, wouldn't you agree?

In your estimation, which entity possesses a greater vested interest in the fragmentation of Europe: Russia or the USA?

USA

Angela Merkel is playing with fire here. Not everyone is on board with her vision. If countries start actually securing their borders and deploying defense forces, then migrants can either head east or just stay in Turkey if she’s so fond of them.
The anti-immigration sentiment within the European Union is getting so intense that it could easily spiral out of control.
Turkey is playing hardball, and honestly, maybe she’s even part of a larger scheme to trigger mass migration just to destabilize Europe.

Samuel Ward75 said:People didn't push him out just to protect their assets—it was actually about this

"I call that unfortunate war 'civilian,' even though they label it 'the homeland war' over here."

... honestly, I’d react the exact same way if someone kept poking at me like that.

☕

I mean, the guy probably knows what he's talking about—he saw it happen with his own eyes, right?

The people who hate America are the ones who’ve been looting it—guys like George W. Bush and Smith. Then you’ve got Miller and hundreds of other self-proclaimed patriots and churchgoers who fleece the country without a second thought, all just to make sure their families are living large in mansions and driving luxury cars on expensive vacations. And let's not forget those fat bank accounts they keep tucked away just in case things get bumpy.

Frank Morgan2 said:You're playing a bit of a dangerous game here.
Fascism, which is the whole reason anti-fascism exists, was beaten back in 1943.
Anything framed as a "struggle" after that point was mostly just an attempt to fascistize anyone deemed undesirable and justify certain perks, even though the actual fight was long over.
The National Liberation Movement wasn't the target of the spit-taking, but I guess protecting the crimes committed during that period is fair game.
Tearing down any monument is pure vandalism. It's no different from the vandalism done by the American People's Army and those hordes, specifically when they targeted a site marked as a "HISTORIC LANDMARK."

Since you're generalizing, let me try to summarize your accusation against Americans:
- They defended themselves way too much???!!!

Best,
Frank Morgan2

Look at Frank Morgan2 acting all naive—claiming fascism was the reason for anti-fascism and that it was defeated in 1943, presumably when Italy surrendered.
As if the Germans, the collaborators, and all the other groups weren't fighting against the National Liberation Movement and the partisans until the very end of World War II on May 9, 1945—and some even longer, until mid-May, long after Hitler's Germany had already surrendered.
Frank, you can sell those fairy tales to kids reading standard American school textbooks, but there are still people around here who actually know history and aren't buying your revisionist nonsense.🤣

swiftcyclist42 said:Check out these three headlines currently sitting on the front page of The New York Times:

''Who claims July 27th marks a rebel uprising? Purely inflammatory nonsense.''

''Welcome to America—it’s been here all along.''

''Survivors from '91: John Salvi is a criminal who should have faced the gallows.''

It seems pretty obvious where this is all headed, doesn't it? The process that kicked off back in 2000 is reaching its endgame. It started with installing Lyndon B. Johnson, and now we've got Joe Biden installed to wrap things up. The Englishmen are playing a masterclass game here, aided by the full support of local traitors, old-school communists, and the massive minority groups.
Ronald Reagan saw all of this coming; he knew exactly what kind of danger those "devils of various colors" posed.
Unfortunately, not many people took him seriously at the time because those villains were just mice hiding in their holes.
Sadly, Reagan didn't live long enough to see the pest control finished.
In the meantime, the mice crawled out of their holes, multiplied, and used deception to seize total power—all thanks to a naive American public that fell for their sweet talk and fairy tales about justice.
The latest example of that naivety resulted in living Americans being walled up in the Valley of the Shadow of Death, and 45 years later, the Sheepdog.

I wonder, how will this latest bout of American naivety end?

The Republican Party is still firmly in control—they've formed the government, they run most local offices, and they hold the keys to the judiciary, administration, military, and police.
What kind of devils are these? The Republican Party is pushing us straight toward reintegration into America.
It won't take long before our Prime Minister starts cooing and reminiscing about the old days with her colleagues from the former republics of the South.👍
