Russia launches attack against Ukraine
One of the air defense bases that was attacked (AP)
Reports coming out of Ukraine indicate that the Russians have moved to attack Ukrainian positions. Their government claims that they’ve shot 6 Russian planes down and took two prisoners. Explosions were heard in Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, early on Thursday.
From the Associated Press:
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia launched a wide-ranging attack on Ukraine on Thursday, hitting cities and bases with airstrikes or shelling, as civilians piled into trains and cars to flee. Ukraine’s government said Russian tanks and troops rolled across the border in a “full-scale war” that could rewrite the geopolitical order and whose fallout already reverberated around the world.
In unleashing Moscow’s most aggressive action since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, President Vladimir Putin deflected global condemnation and cascading new sanctions — and chillingly referred to his country’s nuclear arsenal. He threatened any foreign country attempting to interfere with “consequences you have never seen.”
Sirens rang out in Ukraine’s capital, large explosions were heard there and in other cities, and people massed in train stations and took to roads, as the government said the former Soviet republic was seeing a long-anticipated invasion from the east, north and south. It reported more than 40 soldiers had been killed and dozens wounded so far.

Let’s Go Brandon!
If your administration is weak and ineffectual, don’t be surprised when your country is treated as weak and ineffectual.
Green light given to Putin on 19 January 2022 by Joe the Clueless.

I guess it took Russia a month to decide just how “limited” their excursion into Ukraine would be.
Like elections, foolish statements by the POTUS concerning potential future actions by a potential adversary have consequences. That’s especially true when those foolish statements appear to give the go-ahead to something the potential adversary has already signaled they’re considering.
Looks like a full court press. Curious to see if those 1000 Javelin Missiles that Trump sent to the Ukraine back when he was a pawn of Russia work out for them.
-15 T-72
C’mon, man! Brandon only told Putin that he could just “put the tip in” Miss Ukraine. If he goes full shaft, Brandon will go full financial on Putin.
Au contraire, amigo. Clueless Joe only told Putin that the incursion had to be “limited” when he gave Russia the green light a month plus ago. He didn’t specify what he meant by “limited”.
So long as Putin doesn’t go full Mongol-style Ugrench on the entire Ukraine, I’m betting the Clueless One will likely consider it “limited” enough and do little more than voice his “extreme disapproval”.
I hope I’m wrong – though what we can do that’s constructive at this point is a damn good question. But I don’t think I am.
Let us see now if all those man portable antitank systems get used to good effect. They got a bunch of first line systems like Javelin and MANPADS to work with, and the Russians don’t do leg infantry, so each BMP killed is like a dozen little Russian empire builders dead.
Speaking of fucking catastrophes directly created by the Biden Administration oil will likely hit $120 a barrel today, the DOW drop 5-10% and stagflation is a certainty. He is going to make Carter look like a genius economist. Thank you so much for stopping the twin evils of the oil pipeline and fracking.
All the more reason to buy an electric vehicle!
Ok, I didn’t really mean that
There are lots of great reasons to buy an electric vehicle but Biden just wiped them all out. Once China invades Taiwan (A virtual certainty now) vehicle batteries will become unobtainium.
I know you didn’t!!
Bought a hybrid in June. Have used 4 tanks of gas since then. Usage went Waaay up since the cold hit in November here south of Chi-town. 2 of those tanks were since then, last week the last one. Probably last until April. I have been laughing my a$$ off about my reluctance to buy one. Especially considering how much was spent on gas in the last 10 years. Frigging thing is so quiet, it’s almost scary. Mostly from those years of listening to loud music while driving big rigs. I’d recommend giving it a shot. No other reason than to see what the fuss is about.
And the dreaded mean tweets.
Look at the bright side, at least we do not have to read mean tweets… 📱
I’m sure Putin will lay down and puke from fear over the spanking the western “powers” are threatening.
Biden and Harris aren’t even paper tigers on the world stage, they’re paper dolls in a bonfire.
I wonder if the Russians have outbid the Ukranians for the control of the Biden Administration. Lets see how much goes to Hunters new job.
Everyone that voted for these clowns, or helped steal the election is responsible for this. They should get everything they deserve for the misery they’ve inflicted on the world.
Looks like NATO will be back in the Immigration Control program again. I’ll wait for the Rape and Plunder details. They sanctioned Putins pipeline that hasn’t opened. The other six pipelines supply 70% of Europe with Gas and Electricity. Somebody is going to get cold and wet before this is over. Hold on to your pocketbook!!!
As everyone out there will see that Pres Trump will most likely get blamed for this. Was mentioned on WFTL 850AM radio this morning.
This is totally Trump’s fault, the evidence is overwhelming:
I have never been a fan of Trump, although I did vote for him, but
twothree things he was really good at were foreign policy and economic and energy policies. Things were good. The stock market was up 50%, full employment, low inflation, energy independence, peace in the Middle East, no new wars. If you want a president to be good at something Foreign policy and the economy are it.Biden fucked it all up on day one.
You must be listening to the esteemed Malcolm Nance.
https://www.mediaite.com/tv/malcolm-nance-claims-trump-owns-bloody-invasion-after-he-extorted-ukraine-for-missiles-it-ended-up-getting/
Fucking insane if you can believe this shit is Trump’s fault. Just a total break from reality.
This is the distraction that Biden and the Democrats needed to divert attention from the nosedive they have put the country into since he got in office. Now they can blame it on Trump AND Putin.
Non liberals won’t be at all distracted now, particularly as they watch stocks bottom out and gas skyrocket courtesy of the socialist democrat party and the fake president they installed. The libtards will simply go along with it rather than unfuck themselves and grow up.
Welp, we all said that when Ivan came, he would bring the whole clan…and we knew he was coming, eventually if not sooner. You reckon if the Burisma Records are safe? How much longer before ChiComs launch on Taiwan? And the Norks jump the DMZ? And gasoline hits $10 a gallon?
Patton’s and Macarthur’s plans from back yonder look pretty good now, don’t they.
Let’s not forget this golden nugget:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YmT0_hKSUrw
I thought it’d be this nugget: US President Barack Obama and outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev at [Dutch Auction].
Well Biden is send 40 let count that 40 paratroopers to Latvia.. this should make everyone safer
😜😀😅🤪
Well, 40 paratroopers is the combat equivalent of 2 or 3 armored divisions, so that makes sense.
Of course I may be biased… 😉
Merely realistic… 😜
Paras are speed bumps nowadays against massed armor.
$25 to fill my walk behind lawnmower …soon?
This just in:
The President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., just announced he issued a waiver to Hunter Biden, and now has activated him to the Rank of Admiral in United States Navy.
Admiral Biden will take command of the USS Harvey Milk and lead the largest combat naval fleet every gathered, to deal a punishing blow to the Russian military invasion force.
The Commander-In-Chief was over heard saying:
“He’s the smartest man I know”.
Stay tuned for more upcoming blow by blow details.
May he have all the success of William Bainbridge delivering slaves to the Barbry Pirates as tribute.
Maybe Hunter will be promoted to President of the Navy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3oTgyMSfQQ
I assume that was intentional. It made me LOLZ for realz.
hunter biden Admiral of the vessels is more like Admiral of the galley *pots and pans (*vessels)
It was nice to see that armor column vs Javelin teams.
Linky?? I saw a burning tank but no previous hijinks.
I’d love to see the Commies burning for Mommy.
Super.
The left just could not give up their anger at the dissolution of the USSR. Any attack or revolution aimed at their Bolshevist butt buddies is an unforgiveable sin.
This led to a US led coalition of nations doing everything possible through the 90s and early 00s to antagonize, intrude, and slow economic development so that a Putin was guaranteed. Why? Because Bolshevism.
This is the real reason behind weak democratic party treatment of Russia…they hope that Putin will restore their precious Bolshevik tyranny.
This is also why they did not want Ukraine to be an actual free nation, but the fascistic kleptocracy it is. So they could loot it, and use it to reestablish the USSR.
It really is that stupid.
That is not completely true. They were in the G8 until Obama kicked them out. Trump tried to let them back in as a carrot/ stick approach but since it was his idea it was bad. They got tons of help building pipelines and infrastructure.
The continual accusations from Putin and others that the Ukraine is led be Neo-Nazis fascists is pure fantasy.
The President is Jewish.
their inclusion in the G8 was infamous…not included in meetings, not given a voting membership, not allowed to attend many of the summits. Obama merely formalized the reality that the left never wanted anything to do with Russia.
So yes, it is that stupid.
If a black man can be a white supremacist, then a Jew can be a Nazi.
I mean, Soros worked with the Nazis and he too is a Jew. There is a precedent.
Soros is an atheist.
The good news is the UN Secretary General says that Putin’s decision to invade is a violation of “the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine and inconsistent with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.”
Next, the Security Council will write a strongly worded letter and be as ineffective as expected.
Did they send him to his room without dinner to think about what he did?
That’ll be after the angry finger wagging.
And if Putin doesn’t pay attention, then the United Nothing will send him a SECOND letter with even more angry words!
A strongly worded letter signed by the current President of the Security Council.
Who is a Russian… 🙄
You can’t make this up.
Yeah. But even if the current UNSC President wasn’t Russian, I seem to recall that there’s this thing called a “permanent member veto”.
Yet another reason the UN is a fucking joke. Anytime you want a laugh just look at who is on the UN Human Rights Commission.
Some video game videos are being used as real. We have an A-10 dodging a phalanx gun and others.
Saw that. Also footage of fighter aircraft flying in formation, low and slow, in addition to a Tu-160 with another swept wing fighter bomber. 99.9% positive it was air show footage from the approach of an airfield.
Waiting for the Knob Creek footage to work itself into the ‘reporting’.
I saw some footage of a Mig-29 conducting SEAD next to a residence and babies crying. The Mig looked pretty real.
GuardianUK has some footage that purportedly shows a A2A engagement at spitting distance and a number of captured Russia Army.
But in their defense, Ukraine was wearing something provocative and it was after last call…
This is going to get way worse. Putin sees us as trivial and weak, he watches our news and and laughs at the self inflicted stupidity that we obsess about. The PC culture, 32 genders, the changes to our military and the destruction of our history, traditions, and culture, we elected morons to lead us and probably will continue too. So why would he take us seriously? We don’t even take ourselves seriously anymore. What’s really going to stop him from taking whatever he wants? Seriously is the west prepared for or have the will for full scale war in Europe? Russians are deadly serious and much harder people than the west has been producing. I hope I’m wrong but if he decided to attack the NATO Baltic countries I don’t think we will do anything to defend them, our track record with allies since WW2 hasn’t been a good one. Unless we start to take back our own country and vote out the cancer in our government and demand a return to a self reliant, proud and strong America we are in trouble.
Looks the CIA will be getting a slightly damaged KA-52 attack chopper.

OK I sent this to Ed and Mason and maybe they’ll give it it’s own block but if not, here’s my take on this…I mean, 1986 was like a million years ago, right, and it’s not like any of those Kommie Kids even read history (or it wasn’t scrubbed)
(This isn’t going to go well…)

And then there is this coming from John Kerry the “Energy Czar” worried about the Ukraine / Russia war will take the focus off of climate change.
What?? Rally??
A country is being invaded, people are being killed and this fricken’ idiot worries about climate change?
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/john-kerry-russia-ukraine-war-climate-change
I want to share this quote from LtG Alfonse Mais in charge of the Bundeswehr. “‘In my 41th year of peace-time service, I would not have thought that I would have to experience a war.
‘And the Bundeswehr, the army which I have the honour to command, is standing there more or less empty-handed. The options we can offer the government in support of the (NATO)alliance are extremely limited…
‘We have all seen it coming but were not able to get through with our arguments to draw the consequences after (Russia’s) annexation of Crimea. This does not feel good. I am fed up with it.’
Sounds like he’s hoping to be relieved, or he want’s to quit.
Germany sent 5000 helmets and the equipment for an FMH to the Ukraine as a show of support. The Mayor of Kiev called it a joke and laughed it off.
Boxing fans may know of the Mayor of Kiev. Vitaly Klitchko and his brother Wladamir were both heavy weight boxing champions of the world late 90s to early 2010s. In their prime they were both amazing fighters; simply dominating and destroying their adversaries until they aged out.
Wladmir took a commission in the Ukrainian Army Reserves last month and is *allegedly* leading partisans conducting hit and run attacks against Russian invaders.
Neither one needed to stay for the fight. Their net worth is reported to be $80M and $90M respectively. Anyone want to take odds on Bill Gates staying to fight when the Chinese invade?
Oh and he is married too…
I doesn’t sound like the Germans will have the ability to recreate the Wehrmacht. If they are the core of Europe’s NATO defense, it is doomed.
And as recently as the last two years Germany was pushing to be in charge of a unified European army.
Joe Biden is not going to sit idly by while Vladimir Putin unleashes his forces. If a few million people get smoked in a nuclear exchange, it is a small price to pay to ensure a steady income for Hunter Biden.
Closing his eyes and putting his head down on the desk in front of the world in 5,4,3,2……
Sure thing. After all, Biden launders a lot of his money through the Ukraine, he cannot afford to let the Russians take it over.
When does Brandon come out and yell at us on TV to “GIRD YOUR LOINS!!!
He’s not done with fucking us and our allies… Poland, Moldova, Slovenia and the Baltic states could be the next ones to get screwed.

In American News (and this should surprise absolutely no fking one), online ammo sales are thru the roof. Since Tuesday I’ve seen about 75% of the 5.56 evaporate.
Perhaps its the fact remaining russian stuff is gonna disappear…?
I would usually wait till tomorrow to post this however I am not seeing anything significantly different from the last couple of weeks and this is as of 11 o’clock Thursday night 2/24/2022,
I think you’re good. If you want ammo I’m sure you could probably get some in the next two or three days if you order it now I’m sure it would be here by the end of the weekend or Monday.
It was Wolf brass (S. Korea made, Russian sold) that’d been zeroed out on Bulkammo and Luckygunner (which share distro, presumably). Kinda makes sense. But what don’t make a lick is that as of now it’s back…
Regardless, the input costs are likely to go up on a whole host of products especially as energy prices head higher.
Thanks for the datas!
This is BAD! Watching live, full-scale Russian invasion/attacks on Ukraine. Happening right now, in multiple locations around Ukraine, not just in the supposed new independent/autonomous regions.
I hope they’re paying attention in Taiwan. They’re next.
Xiden is supposed to be making his first rambling, incoherent diatribe about the situation, soon.
Biden will likely just mumble some gibberish, shit his pants, then one of his Handlers will rush in and declare the press conference over with.
I have to say I’m surprised since the Soviet Union didn’t make this type of moves. The economic sanctions will only be effective in the long term. Putin must have factored that into his decision, so I see 7-day offensive to destroy Ukraine’s military capabilities, and then scoot back across the border. He’ll work through back channels to install a Pro-Russian government like they had before the Euromaidan Uprising. The West’s obsession with Green Energy played right into Putin’s hands by getting Europe hooked on his gas & oil. Lots of leverage lost being so dependent. The economic sanctions will be minimal as The EU will go back to pre-invasion status before too long.
huh? the USSR made many such moves. 48 in Poland, 50 in Lithuania, 56 in Hungary, 68 in Czech, 79 in AF. All Bolshevist nations, I would note. The USSR had no need to “invade” Ukraine, of course as it was already inside the USSR.
Russian policy has been aggressive like this since Catherine the Great.
I thought that was sarcasm.
Yeah left out oh… Afghanistan, Poland, Latvia, Romania, Finland… in fact every possible neighbor they have and a few others. Not so much since communism died but hey the KGB is back in charge
And once again, The Simpsons predicts the future: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBMeMrPuQyU
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy’s heartbreaking, defiant speech to the Russian people [English sub.] 9:04 minutes(he mentions he knows they probably won’t see it on Russian media)
I’d feel more sorry for him if he had not made all opposition political parties illegal, shut down opposition media, and denied civil liberties to most Ukrainians.
The Ukrainian people deserved better, but the US DoS was not going to tolerate leadership there that was not going to allow our elites to loot the nation.
Now our fecklessness has run its course and it is the average Joe out there paying the price…as always.
The US won’t do anything meaningful here. The cash is already moved and the new regime will likely still allow looting by unscrupulous characters who smoke meth and abuse children.
There are opposition parties. Vitaly Klitchko leads one.
Price of oil tops $100 a barrel. Don’t worry, people. Remain calm. All is well. PINO Joey Poopy Pants is in control of this.
Biden sits in silence and picks his teeth after being asked if he “underestimated Putin” – YouTube

The memes keep rolling. 😀
If you really want to screw up the Russian economy
And flush out china for who they are
Kick Russia out of the swift banking system
Oddly none of these idiots are willing to do it
Hunter would lose a ton of money
On a good note the amount of troll activity on the internet and social media is was down
I guess you could say the trolls in the Ukraine
Are taking cover
On their official feed.
Ukraine’s Twitter team has been on point for a while. Very entertaining.
I’ve had to calm down the social media freaks (who unfortunately have spread their fear of WAR to my daughter). I will say this. No US troop will be sent to Ukraine. Ukraine is not part of NATO. The UN will do nothing since Russia is on the Security Council. This will be sanctions, nothing more, and will probably be over in a few weeks. More disheartening, I’ve hear 2nd hand that some military people are claiming they are being sent to Ukraine. Prepare for a whole new slew of SV to grow from this incident.
The Russians have captured Chernobyl. They now have a nuclear Tar Baby on their hands. The containment had been breaking down already, and the corium showed signs of going critical again a while ago.
Alex Jones got another one wright.

Although he announced new Russian sanctions on top of previous ones, Biden admitted:
Errr, whut?

Notch another foreign policy fuckups for Brandon… 50+ years and still dorking the foreign policy squeakhole!
Well, he fucked America as much as he could in 13 months, it was time for him to spread his genius worldwide.
The only upside to all of this is that The Biden Administration has made so many sectors of America suffer under his policies there is no way that a Democrat can secure the White House in November 2024, unless of course they outright steal the election, which they are already drafting up plans to do.
It worked for them once, they will continue to try it until or unless they are made to bleed for it. Pain is a great deterrent.
yep
Jesus. These memes are brutally hilarious.
Interesting take
https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/ukraine-conflict-updates
Rumor mill has it that on separate interactions with Putin and Xi, Trump had remarked about how he would hit their capital cities if they moved against Ukraine (Russia) or Taiwan (China). Both were reported to react like they didn’t believe him.
He did threaten the Taliban leader that he would hit the Taliban in a way they have not been hit before. After the Taliban leader reacted as if he didn’t think Trump would do what he threatened, Trump name dropped what was on the target list. Something near and dear to that Taliban leader.
Well, it looks as if the Biden Administration has announced their “swift and certain” sanctions on Russia for invading the Ukraine.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-not-sanctioning-putin-directly-blocking-russia-from-swift-banking-system
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/harris-biden-sanctions-russia-ukraine-swift
Short version: although by-name sanctions were directed against some other Russian officials and their families, no personal sanctions directed against Putin or his family. Some financial sanctions were imposed on Russia’s banking system. However, the Biden administration made no move to block Russia’s banking system from SWIFT – which might actually have hurt. Sanctions also didn’t target the Russian oil industry.
I’m sure a “strongly worded letter” is to follow.
Looks like ol’ Clueless Joe pounced on Putin and Russia with all the fury of a savage . . . chipmunk.
