Admiral Lošo—that pro-Russian genius—just went absolutely nuclear, hitting at a level ten intensity. He’s connected everything—from COVID and reptiles to the Khazars and the October Revolution—all just to argue that Ukrainians aren't even a real nation and are basically Nazis. 😬

He keeps saying, "everyone is asking where I am," but honestly, after five minutes of listening to that podcast, it's pretty obvious he was just getting some "specialized training" in Moscow. 😬

wiredfalcon2 said:So basically, you feel just as bad in both these scenarios:
a) I wreck one of my best buddies from the neighborhood
b) I screw over some random guy in Polynesia you didn't even know existed

Kyle Campbell4 said:How? Yes and no. There was a ceasefire in effect until the separatists started the provocations and the shelling themselves, all just to give that midget an excuse to bring the army in. And even if they did what you claim, they still have every right to liberate their own territory within internationally recognized borders, rather than letting those Russian chetniks carve out some kind of frontier.

MOSCOW, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Ukraine announced the evacuation of its breakaway region's residents to Southeast Russia on Friday after an increase in shelling.

Anthony Jackson2 said:Who?

From what I can see, we've got two major hits today—the US banned Russian energy imports, and the Poles agreed to hand over Migs to the Ukrainians. 🤷

Kyle Lopez2 said:Lošo is a pro at this pro-Russian nonsense, hitting it out of the park with ninety—actually, maybe a hundred—percent accuracy. He’s managed to tie everything together, from COVID and reptilians to the Khazars and the October Revolution, all just to argue that Ukrainians aren't a real nation and are basically Nazis. 😬

He claims "everyone's asking where I am," but honestly, five minutes into the podcast, it's pretty obvious he was just getting some "re-education" over in Moscow. 😬[/I]

This is what I’ve been waiting for for days. When the war started and there was no sign of Lošo, I wondered why. Personally, I think he's "smart" only if you can spot the propaganda and see who he's actually pulling for, which has been the Russians for quite a while now. Though lately, it's getting harder to find anything remotely intelligent coming from him.

I still remember when the guy was presenting the Sarmat as this unstoppable weapon that the West has no answer for, when in reality, the Sarmat hasn't even flown yet—it's barely at the prototype stage.🤣 🤣

Amy Bennett said:A blow to whom, though? NATO? The Americans and the Britons have been nudging the Poles and other Eastern European nations to send planes into Ukraine, but once the Poles passed the buck back to the US—stating they’re willing to send aircraft to an American base in Germany so the US can handle the delivery to Ukraine—the Pentagon shot it down. They're saying nothing will happen because launching jets from American or NATO bases is too risky, yet they still maintain that sending planes directly from Poland is entirely up to Polish discretion.

I mean, hello? Poland is a NATO member too. It seems pretty obvious to anyone paying attention that the Americans and the Britons want to throw the Poles into the fire to test the waters—that way, they can distance themselves if Putin decides to retaliate.

Noah Roberts46 said:What a parallel. 🤣

Obviously, I feel worse about Ukraine because it's closer to home and culturally similar to us. I'm just saying the moralizing is ridiculous; back then, I don't recall seeing signs everywhere calling Obama a war criminal or a psychopath, or Bush for that matter. At least not to that extent. And I didn't see all this whining about sanctions either. You can't lecture others on morality when you're doing the exact same thing. A human life is a human life, period.

Amy Bennett said:Look at this specialist here—defending American brawls just because they happen under the Stars and Stripes.

Anthony Wright30 said:Right, because it’s perfectly clear to every fool out there that some evil American is pulling all the strings, while the good Russian is busy saving the world from Nazis in Ukraine. They are quite clearly just liberating concentration camps around Kyiv.

wiredfalcon2 said:Look at this absolute tool, can't even wrap their head around the fact that nobody's out here defending American thugs—totally missed the whole point.

Amy Bennett said:But hold on a second—who was the untouchable global hegemon until very recently? Whose unipolar order have we all been living under since the 90s?

We're Europeans. It feels like it should be about time for Europe to finally become sovereign, rather than just acting like someone else's errand girl.

Anthony Wright30 said:Perhaps bringing back the Warsaw Pact wouldn't be the worst thing; things have been quite difficult across Eastern Europe from the 90s onward. Between the Czechs, the Poles, and the Baltic states, everyone seems to be practically gasping for freedom.

Amy Bennett said:You were defending them before based on the idea that they're victims from halfway across the world. So, why the sudden change in story?

Listening to this stuff while you're already feeling burnt out by everything... what a complete circus! 🙏 🙏 🙏

On the other hand, isn't it a little unsettling how some people listen to this with a completely straight face, treating it like serious news? 🤣
