How does one get to the point where they freely admit feeling shame and guilt, yet does not have plans to make up for that shame/guilt?

Xi has been on a anti corruption spree, and based on Russias performance they will crack down more and that makes them more lethal.

Because Persia was renamed Iran to align with the Arians

Defenders of the name change, point to its use by the Greek historians citing that "Aryan" means "noble". Many also felt that calling something or someone Persian was dated and somewhat restrictive.

MN really is full

Arming Ukrainians with Javelins isn't friendly to Russia nor is killing 300 Russian mercs in Syria. The leftists in GD can't stand that this war happened due to Biden's weakness and incompetency in Afghanistan. No wars happened under Trump and it bugs them to no avail.

Biden is going behind Ukraines back to work out a deal with Russia to get this war over asap.

The western world has enjoyed its success to the point that all leaders have become passive-aggressive, corrupt pieces of shit who are more concerned with tamping down the freedoms of their own people than upsetting the world order.  

There might have been a time in our history where his bluff would have been called, but the top has too much to lose with that gamble now.

So @stdgz did Putin give Trump permission to kill 300 of his mercy, did he give him permission to bomb his planes on the tarmac in Syria, did he give Trump  permission to block the pipeline for 4 years and to put some of the toughest sanctions to date on Russia???????

By the way why did Biden drop Trumps sanctions  against the pipeline on day one of his administration???? And pretty much all sanctions?

What I'm seeing is the left jumping to blame the right for Ukraine.  THey're also handing out memes like "funny how they are defending their capitol, while we have people here attacking it."

Meanwhile, right commentators who have no clue about wars, want to opine (because it gets clicks) and are blaming all this on the left.  


The only factors this war has on our political climate is that putin waited years for this invasion and did it now because we have an incompetent president. This, and Taiwan was called as soon as he got elected.
