Putin's propaganda will resonate with many on the right. Many will agree and that's dangerous.

 

Then there is this...

 
Vladimir Putin said this week that he doesn’t fear the United Kingdom as they can’t even stop rubber boats invading their country or foreign men raping their women & children. Plus he said the British people hate their leader. 

Add this to the pile from our own allies that want us to foot the whole bill for Ukraine... What does this all add up to?

We are entering a very weird time in Ukraine.  The American people are tired of the fight, most especially the right.

Our own military has warned that the donations of gear to Ukraine is sapping our ability for fights elsewhere.

Europe has refused to stand up and take responsibility for the fight even though they claim it to be damn near a struggle for survival.

So all in all you have a populace in the West that is primed to vulnerability from propaganda or an "alternative" point of view.

Someone somewhere will make this a fight between bullets and bread in the US with regard to the budget and in Europe it will be between saving themselves or Ukraine with regard to unfettered immigration and the national leadership there failing to respond.

Ukraine's thread is getting thinner.  They better respond to Trump's demand for a peace treaty or they'll be left hanging by all sides soon.

U.S. Marines execute HIRAIN on Iwakuni B-roll......Video by Lance Cpl. Zainab Sink

U.S. Marines with 3rd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division execute Typhoon Crossbow 26.1 on Marine Corps Air Station, Iwakuni, Japan, Dec. 3, 2025. Typhoon Crossbow is an exercise that proves 3rd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment’s ability to establish an expeditionary advanced base by executing a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System Rapid Infiltration. HIRAIN is the process of identifying a target, seizing key terrain, inserting High Mobility Rocket Systems, destroying the target and retrograding back to a secure location.

This has got to be one of the craziest concepts ever.

You're gonna operate in contested space.  But while operating in this space you're gonna seize an airfield or piece of ground suitable for a KC-130 to land on, discharge a HIMARS, launch missiles, get back aboard the airplane AND get out of the area before the enemy can hit back.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!  THIS SHIT IS BATSHIT CRAZY!

Shirtless man in Seattle was walking around pointing a gun at residents.    

Police arrived and performed an impromptu 5.56 and 9mm ballistics test on him saving taxpayers millions of dollars in the process....

I hate Notre Dame but the Group of 5 is messing shit up.

I say Vanderbilt got screwed.

Some say BYU got screwed.

James Madison & Tulane have their fans.

You're even hearing some people shouting Texas (I don't get that).

What I do know?  Miami and the ACC are a trash conference and while I think they're a good team they didn't meet the criteria.  Notre Dame isn't in a conference and I'm tired of the luv they constantly get while floating on the side and then crashing the party at the end.

Lets be honest about this.

James Madison and Tulane are gonna get crushed in this playoff and those games are damn near wins before its even played.

Alabama will beat OU.  Miami will get housed by A&M.  

Once the first round is over is when we finally get to the REAL playoffs.

German fanboys are really chest thumping about the Leopard 2A8
