I think Star Wars is Bullshit

QuoteAlthough Ronald "we win, they lose" Reagan was out of office, this was the Gipper's triumph. Playing poker against the Soviets' aging and disillusioned chess masters, Reagan bet the house on the Strategic Defense Initiative—widely opposed and even mocked by the pro-Russian Leftist press, led by the New York Times (who else?), as "Star Wars"—and essentially bankrupted the Kremlin. Unfamiliar with the concept of a bluff, Mikhail Gorbachev turned over his king and walked away from the board.

I vividly recall standing outside in the freezing cold of a mid-February day in Dresden, on the 40th anniversary of the firebombing of the city by British and American bombers in 1945. Standing in front of the newly restored Semper Opera House, Erich Honecker, the East German party boss, gave a stemwinder of a speech, inveighing against the very "Star Wars" (that was the term he used: Sternkriege) the Times was mocking stateside. "I think Star Wars is bullshit," whispered a German-speaking American colleague of mine, "but it sure has these guys scared." Within six years, both the German Democratic Republic and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were gone.

Genuinely?

I don't know it's true .. I expected the Russian Army to roll over Ukraine like road kill
What seems to be happening is incredible.
You'd think that they would make the BS believable if the whole thing was BS
and if it is BS, what is really happening.... and why???

And "Trump praised Putin".

If anyone actually believes that, they are the dumbest dumbsmits in dumbsmitland. But to continue the Orangemanbad agenda in case he decides to run for POTUS again, they need to make sure the left still hates his guts.

Show me your smart phone, comrade

QuotePolice officers in Moscow today are stopping people, demanding to see their phones, READING THEIR MESSAGES, and refusing to release them if they refuse.

Quote from: Newbeeee™ on March 07, 2022, 11:19 AMOnly 3 years ago the BBC agreed that the Azov Batallion in the Ukrainian National Guard (that the UK armed and funded) were NAZIS.
But not today?

Narrator sounds like Nick Pope, the UFO guy.

AND Iran, AND Saudi Arabia, AND Russia.

Begging thugs and tyrants for oil rather than producing it ourselves.

You're right...you can't make this shit up, but here we are. :rant:

The Biden administration would rather hold talks with terrorists and despots to beg for more oil than talk to the state of Texas.

This is not a glitch in the Biden Administration's energy policy. It is a feature.

The only people left fully supporting the administration are far left enviro-nazi tree huggers in Greta Thunberg shirts who WANT you paying $6, $8, even $10/gallon for your gas.

If they allow drilling to go back the record levels of 2019, or god forbid, expand on it, they will have ZERO support.
