Yemen would certainly be justified in bombing Washington, DC. Trump has put a target on the back of all Americans. A Yemeni man walked into a residential apartment building in Yemen where his girlfriend lived. At that moment, Trump's chosen officials bombed the civilian building to smithereens. JD Vance said, "excellent," Ratcliffe said, "a good start."

Was probably there to fix a leak, poor sod.

Trump chose those goons (Hegseth & Co) because they are highly impressionable and not too obnoxious to pass Senate inspection. In his first innings he chose mature neocons, all of whom pretty much stabbed him in the back.

I won't believe for a second that anything anyone of them says carries any/much weight with Trumplethinskin who has his orders from outside of politics.

The quickest way to end the genocide in Gaza/Palestine would be an American attack on Iran with the resulting defeat.

Who of sound mind wouldn't just love to see USS Harry Truman capsize and sink . . . slowly?

Truman, hard to do. it is huge and has many watertight doors. all of them closed under General Quarters.

It will take a good number of torpedoes below the waterline. I do defer to a few General Hazelnuts to do the job, but the traceability is too darn clear.

We have moved from 'It's the economy stupid' to 'It's the Narrative stupid' - and facts in the Western latter simply don't matter - just keep repeating the false narrative ad nauseum - and said russophobic narrative flows across all Western political speak and MSM .....

Hence, President Putin's wise advice to Russian industrialists on those '30,000 or so sanctions' .... and the need for Maria, and your good self Karl, to keep reminding us of those dastardly 'facts'...

.... and back to Karaganov - via Maria and S. Lavrov.

Trump and his inner circle are a "ship of fools". Americans are sailing toward fascism.

What's Maria sayin', that Merkel got out of bed, showered, put on a fresh pair of knickers, brushed down the lederhosen and kept a serious face throughout the Minsk process?

Maybe high-fiving Hollande, he who always travelled with his personal hairdresser, no split ends on his high forehead.

My contrarian theory is that Putin seen through the charade early door and Russia themselves were in overdrive ramping up the means of production.

Russia hit bottom in 1998 and began the long road to where it is today. In 2004, Putin let it be known that Russia had hypersonic missiles, but few heard. Martyanov occasionally provides a video source that shows before and after pictures of Russia’s redevelopment that are outstanding. Here’s the last one; it lasts 27 minutes, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy8POziqoF4&t=9s

In 2014, the next massive round of sanctions hit, and Russia really began its march to autarky. The next one is of a Russian built 350nm lithography machine with 130nm coming next. Soon Russia will be as competent as China at chips of all sorts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CymDAPh3zMQ

Russia’s public utility technological industrial conglomerates are far superior to any Western form of business organization. Yet, the West can’t figure it out.

Yes indeed, very impressive.

If the Russian Zionist Oligarchy and Yankee Doodle Dandies had gotten their way Russia would still be classified a developing country like all the West's former and present colonial plantations despite its/their wealth of resources.

I've read on numerous occasions but not had it verified as to whether Putin took a 2nd job as a part-time taxi driver around the fall of the Soviet Union. Seems surreal!

America’s political class still think of Russia as a gas station with nukes. The Silicon Valley oligarchs might be somewhat impressed with Russia but that’s questionable also as anerikas best and brightest aren’t the best nor the brightest

Its the app on your operating system. If you are lucky you will get an update. Best idea is to always purchase top line made in China product. But then app design can be shoddy and only fully function on a narrow band of products. SAD. My rule of thumb is avoid apps wherever possible and use a browser to web source.
